for details.
If you do not have access to the Visual Radio service, the operators and radio
stations in your area may not support Visual Radio. The Visual Radio service may
not be available in all areas and countries.
Note: The radio uses the wire of the headset as an antenna. A compatible headset
needs to be attached to the device for the radio to function properly.
You can listen to FM radio on your phone by the built-in loudspeaker or a
compatible headset. When using the loudspeaker, keep the headset plugged into
the phone. The lead of the headset functions as the antenna of the radio, so let it
hang freely.
Warning: Listen to music at a moderate level. Continuous exposure to high volume
may damage your hearing.

You can normally make a call or answer an incoming call while listening to the
radio. The radio is turned off when there is an active call. When the call is finished,
you may need to turn the radio back on manually.
Note, that the quality of the radio broadcast depends on the radio station’s
coverage in that particular area.
