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 favorites. 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.
