Listening to the radio

The FM radio in your device works like any FM radio. For example, you can browse

and listen to FM radio stations and save them as favourites. You must connect a

wired headset or headphones to your device before you can use the radio. This is

because the headset or headphones act as an antenna. After one of these devices is

connected, you can then switch the audio to the speaker, if desired.
