How to use Visual Radio
You can use the Visual Radio application as a FM radio with automatic tuning and preset stations, or with parallel visual information related to the radio program if you tune in to stations that offer Visual Radio service. The Visual Radio service uses packet data (network service).
To use the Visual Radio service, the following requirements must be met:
- The radio station and your network operator must support this service.
- Your Internet access point must be defined for access to the network operator’s Visual Radio server.
- The preset radio station must have the correct Visual Radio service ID defined and have Visual Radio service enabled.
Visual Radio cannot be started when the Offline profile is active.
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 make a call or answer an incoming call while listening to the radio. The radio is turned off when there is an active call.
