How to Get the FM Tuner to Work on a RCA M4508
- 1). Plug the supplied earphones into the earphone jack on the music player before turning on the FM radio function. The radio uses the earphone cable as an antenna and the radio will not work properly unless the earphone cable is plugged in and extended.
- 2). Turn on the radio by pressing the "Plus" or "Minus," or "Rewind" or "Fast Forward" buttons to navigate to the radio icon. It's labeled "FM" and depicts a transistor radio with antenna. Press "Play/Pause" to start the radio mode and then press it again to listen. Then press the "Rewind" or "Fast Forward" buttons to scroll through frequencies when the frequency screen appears.
- 3). Improve FM radio sound by pressing "Menu" to display the "Options" menu. "Menu" is the uppermost button on the right. Press the "Plus" or "Minus" buttons to highlight "Mode" and then switch from "Stereo" to "Mono." Try listening in mono if stereo reception is noisy.
- 4). Record the FM radio by pressing "Menu" to bring up the "Options" menu and pressing "Plus" or "Minus" to highlight "Start Recording." Then press the "Play/Pause" button to record. Press it again to stop recording. Play the radio recordings by entering the radio menu from the Radio icon. Choose "Playback" to see a list of recordings. Press the "Plus" or "Minus," buttons to select a recording and the "Play/Pause" button to listen.
