When your radio is in FM mode it can receive Radio Data System or ‘RDS’ information if this is being
transmitted by the broadcaster. RDS information will often include the station name, detail about the
programme and the current time.
If you were listening to an FM station, when you switched the radio off then this station will be automatically
selected when you switch the radio back on.
Tuning to an FM station
1. Press the ‘Scan’ button to scan up the frequency band. Press and hold the ‘Scan’ button to scan down the
frequency band. Your radio will search for the next available station and then stop on that station.
2. Use the ‘Tune -’ and ‘Tune +’ buttons to fine tune each frequency.
The RDS information for each station will be displayed, if available.
Note: If reception is still poor adjust the position of the aerial or try moving the radio to another location.
Changing the scan setting

button
There are now two different options to choose from:
Strong stations - the scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is received which should also result in a
better audio quality. It is possible that the station you are scanning for may be missed using this option.
All stations - the scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength is poor.
