2 How to Use the Radio and MP3 Functions

2.1Tuning the Radio

Once plugged in, click on the mode button MP3/FM to go to the radio mode. Use the rocker control Left and Right to go up and down the frequency range. A short press on the rocker button will rotate through the three FM tuning modes, Preset (you can choose one of your 20 preset stations), Manual (Tune your station manually), Search (let the radio search for the next clear station). Press the MP3/FM button to leave the Radio mode and go back to the Browse mode.

2.2Making a Radio Preset

You can save up to 20 preset stations with the FM remote control. Once you have found the radio station you want to preset, press and hold the rocker button for 3 seconds. The Remote will show P2 Saved, for example, indicating that this radio station is now program 2. If you would like to erase a preset station, go to the tuning Preset mode, scroll to the program number you want to clear, then hold down for three seconds. You now have a free program slot to make a different FM preset.

If you would like to name your Preset radio stations, you can do this by editing, with a text editor such as Notepad or SimpleText (Do no use a program such as Microsoft® Word), the file FMPreset.txt which you will find on the root directory of the Jukebox hard drive. Each line of the text file should contain the station frequency, a space character, and then the name of the station. Some examples are 90.0 Easy Jazz or 107.8 Smash Hits FM Radio 107.8 or

91.3KGTS. You are limited to 32 characters for naming a station preset. The entry on a line of 0.0 represents an empty preset slot.

2.3Setting the HOLD mode

Use this feature if you would like to prevent the FM Remote from changing stations or settings accidentally if a button is pressed or hit. Hold down for three seconds on the HOLD button to activate this. None of the buttons will now respond to being pressed. To de-activate HOLD and make all buttons usable, press the HOLD button again for 3 seconds. Using the HOLD on the Remote will lock both the Remote’s buttons and the Jukebox’s buttons. You can also hold down on the F1 button on the Jukebox to de-activate HOLD.
