Listen to FM radio on your iPod and control everything with
a convenient wired remote. You also get a set of earphones with a shorter cable
that's a perfect fit for the remote. Just plug in
your iPod Radio Remote and select "Radio" from the main iPod menu. Tuning takes
place right there in the color display with your Click Wheel, just as you'd set
a classic analog radio. Easily mark a favorite station for quick access later,
and switch between favorite stations using either the iPod or the remote.
If you're listening to a station that supports the Radio Data System (RDS)
standard, you can even see song title/artist or radio station information in the
iPod display. The iPod Radio Remote supports FM stations from 87.5 to 107.9MHz
(in both the US and European standards) and 76 to 90MHz (the Japanese standard).
You can switch between the different standards when traveling.
With the wired remote, you can control slideshow, video and music playback,
adjust volume, skip forward/back within a playlist -- plus switch between radio
stations and turn the radio on or off, even if your iPod is in your pocket or
backpack. Clip the remote to your lapel, shirt or collar for easy access, and
activate the hold switch to eliminate unwanted button presses.
At just over half an ounce in weight (15.7 grams), the compact remote
features a simple, familiar interface and plugs into the Dock connection on your
iPod or iPod nano. The included pair of Apple Earphones has a cable that's a few
inches shorter than a standard earphone cable, making it the perfect fit. You
can plug it into the 3.5mm stereo minijack port on the remote, or use another
favorite set of earphones.
Because the iPod Radio Remote is powered by the iPod itself, no extra
batteries are required.
