Visual Radio
You can use the Visual Radio application (network service)
as a traditional FM radio with automatic tuning and saved
stations. If you tune to stations that offer Visual Radio
service, you can view visual information on the display
related to the radio program. The Visual Radio service uses
packet data (network service). You can listen to the FM
radio while using other applications.
To use the Visual Radio service, the following conditions
are required:
•
The device must be switched on.
•
The device must have a valid SIM card inserted.
•
The station you listen to and the service provider you
use must support this service.
•
An IAP must be defined to access the service provider’s
Visual Radio server. See ‘Access points’, p. 114.
•
The station must have the correct Visual Radio service
ID defined and Visual Radio service enabled. See ‘Saved
stations’, p. 73.
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 FM radio depends on an antenna other than the
wireless device antenna. A compatible headset or
enhancement needs to be attached to the device for the
FM radio to function properly.
You can listen to the radio with the built-in loudspeaker
or a compatible headset. When using the loudspeaker,
keep the headset plugged in the device. 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. Do not hold the device near your ear when the
loudspeaker is in use, because the volume may be
extremely loud.
You can 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, the radio is turned
back on.
