# Overview of FM Radio

FM Radio allows you to listen to FM radio stations on your device. Since FM Radio uses the provided stereo wired headset as an antenna, you must first plug in the headset into the device earphone jack before you open the program. You can switch between the wired headset and speaker when listening to FM. The FM Radio can also receive RDS (Radio Data System) or RDBS (Radio Data Broadcast System) signals, when available.
