Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial on the back of the Radio is fully extended before you
attempt to tune to an FM station. This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is
available when the Radio is tuning to a station. Extending the aerial also ensures the best
possible sound quality.
FM Radio mode
Check that your Radio is in FM radio mode. If you are not already in FM mode, turn the
OFF/FM/AM rotary on the top of the radio to ‘FM’.
Tuning to an FM station
In FM mode:
Use the rotary tuning dial on the front of the radio to tune to your favourite FM station.
Please use the frequencies marked on the dial as a guide.
The tuning dial will move both clockwise and anti-clockwise but does have a ‘stop’ point.
If you turn the tuning dial and reach the ‘stop’ point, please turn the dial in the opposite
direction to tune.
Note: If reception is still poor, check that the aerial is fully extended and then adjust the
tuning dial slowly, or try moving the Radio to another location.

Aux in mode
Using the Aux in socket on the side of the radio you can make a quick and easy
connection to an external sound source that has a Line or Headphone analogue output to
play through your radio.
These may include:

audio connection cable (not included) to the headphone (or auxiliary out) socket of
your secondary device, connect the other end to the Aux in socket on the side of your
radio.
2. To gain optimal volume levels, adjust the volume level on both the secondary device
and on the radio.
Note: Please remember to unplug the 3.5mm audio cable from the Aux in socket after
you have finished listening to your external device, to enable you to listen to your radio
in AM or FM mode again.
