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.
