Before using the FM radio function

Radio signal reception quality varies substantially depending on where you are using the radio. Poor reception can often be improved by adjusting the antenna position or orientation, or moving to a more accessible location for the signal such as a near window.

TIP

You may not be able to receive FM radio when indoors or in the shadow of a building. Reception may be improved by moving near a window when indoors, or by moving out of building shadows.

NOTE

FM radio cannot be received when you are beyond a radio station’s broadcasting range or when the signal is blocked by mountains or other topographical obstructions.

Even when within broadcasting range, you may not be able to receive radio broadcasts in locations prone to signal reception difficulty (such as within tunnels, underpasses, office buildings, apartment buildings and building shadows).

Do not use a mobile phone, PC, TV or other electrical appliance near the voice recorder when using it to listen to the radio. Such product may cause noise.

Using the voice recorder with a connected AC adapter (such as model A514) will generate noise. Always use batteries for the FM radio function.
