WORKING WITH THE FM RADIO

Your headset is equipped with a high-quality FM Radio receiver. This section explains how to enjoy the functions of the FM Radio.

The SCALA RIDER Q2 enables you to listen to FM Radio while you are not receiving audio from another audio source.

While listening to the radio, you do not have to worry about missing any calls, as the headset automatically mutes the FM Radio and switches to Bluetooth headset operation when an incoming call is received, or when you decide to initiate a call. When the conversation is over, the headset automatically tunes back in to the FM Radio.

Turning the FM Radio On

While no call is on the headset (either mobile phone call or Intercom call), press and hold the MC Button on your headset for three seconds to turn on the radio. The radio tunes in to the last radio station you were listening to. With some phones you should wait a few seconds after ending a call before turning on the Radio.

Turning the FM Radio Off

While the radio is turned on, press and hold the MC button for three seconds to turn the Radio off.

Switching Preset FM Radio Station

There are six pre-set Radio stations available on your SCALA RIDER Q2. While the Radio is on, tap the MC Button to cycle between saved stations.

Searching for a New FM Radio Station

While the Radio is on, press and hold the Volume Up or Volume Down Button for three seconds or until you hear the next station on your headset.

Pressing Volume Up will search upwards (higher frequency). Pressing Volume Down will search downwards (lower frequency). Once a station is found, searching stops and you can hear the station.

To save this station, refer to the following section.

To continue searching, press the Volume Up or Volume Down Button again for three seconds.

You may still continue to listen to the current unsaved station. Pressing the MC Button in this case will switch to the next saved station.

Saving an FM Radio Station

The FM Radio is equipped with a memory capacity of six stations.
