FM Radio 
 
 
The Sansa Clip Zip MP3 player includes an integrated FM radio for listening to live broadcast 
FM stations.  
Listening to FM Radio 
To listen to live broadcast FM stations, follow these steps: 
1.  From the Main Menu, select FM Radio. 
2.  A radio frequency menu will appear. 
3.  Press left/previous/rewind button   or    right/next/forward button to adjust and 
search for the desired frequency, or select preset by pressing Select. 
4.  For fast search, press and hold the left/previous/rewind button   or    the 
right/next/forward button. 
 
Quick Tips: 
1. Your headphones are the antenna for your device. For best reception or maximizing the 
number of presets your device can find, extend the headphone cord as much as possible to 
increase the antenna length and therefore, reception.  
2. Pressing play/pause during a radio broadcast is the equivalent of muting the radio. There is 
no dynamic, live pausing capability on the Sansa
 
Clip Zip MP3 player. 
Programming FM Presets 
You can program up 40 preset stations. To program the preset stations on your player, follow 
these steps: 
1.  Press the Options button during Radio playback. 
2.  Select Add Preset to save current frequency into presets, which can be found under View 
all Presets. Or while the earphones are connected, select Auto Presets to allow the 
player to automatically search and store the strongest broadcast signals. 
3.  Select Delete Preset to remove current frequency from presets.  
4.  Select View All Presets to view all stored added presets.
