What to consider before purchase
- Confirm whether you need mains-only, battery-only, or dual-power operation.
- Check that FM radio reception in your area is adequate for desired stations.
- Ensure Bluetooth streaming and USB playback meet your source-device compatibility requirements.
- Consider the device's audio output level for the size of the room where it will be used.
Usage recommendations
For the clearest FM reception, place the radio near a window or reorient it until station signal strength improves. When streaming via Bluetooth, keep the source device within a typical wireless range (around 10 metres) and minimise obstacles. Remove the USB drive safely after playback is stopped to avoid file system issues.
