Listen to your favourite radio stations using your K800i's built-in FM radio which can store up to 20 preset stations

The Sony Ericsson K800i has a built-in FM radio so you can listen to your favourite stations while travelling. You can save up to 20 frequencies as preset channels, which can by accessed with a single click.

To listen to the radio you must connect the hands-free earphones supplied with your phone, because these also work as the antenna.

  • Use the central navigation key to change frequency (Pressing Left or Right) (Figure 3).
  • Pressing Up or Down on the navigation key will change between preset (or saved channels) (Figure 4).

To save radio stations, press the central navigation key or the 0-9 buttons to save a channel in positions one to 10 (Positions 11-20 are accessed and saved manually).

  • Turn Off.
  • Save – Save the current frequency to a position (One to 10).
