Thanks I have just given the phone to my sighted daughter and she is finding this radio application confusing as well. It is all a bit baffling. I have the frequencies for about 20 stations loaded automatically using the radio station directory feature. This works by taking you to the web and then you press the button to save the list after specifying your location. I have also entered various radio 4 frequencies manually again without success. I did all this without having to mute talks.
Bizarrely however, the radio will often not work when I go into it without adopting the following procedure. Enter the FM radio application. If you are lucky it may start but often It will be silent. If it is silent pull out the headphones. Talks will announce that the FM radio will not work without headphones. Plug in the headphones again. The enhancement window will come up so you have to press enter to accept the headphones. The radio will now jolt into life and start playing with very good reception and sound . Very strange. I have used 3 different earphones which are all producing identical results. Once the radio is playing I can indeed change the stations by pressing right or left , but cannot find Radio 4 Radio 3 or radio 2 despite their being listed in the station list. I cycle around stations I do not want to listen to. The only direction to tune appears to be left and right. If I press up or down the radio immediately stops and it is impossible to restart it unless I again take out the earphones, and repeat the rigmarole above According to the manual all that is required is to go to the station list and then select listen. But it is the listen button which is missing, even for those stations which I know I have listened to today.

The way I did it was to get a list of frequencies for different radio stations from the internet. The BBC, I think, publish a frequency guide. As I say, it's a while ago, so it's all a bit hazy, but you will find something by googling it. Then, with TALKS not muted, you can enter the frequencies of the stations you want to listen to manually. Once this is done, then navigate to the FM radio to a point where you know you can launch it without any spoken prompts. Then mute TALKS and launch the radio. From here on, you can scroll through your selected stations with the left and right arrows. I hope this makes sense and good luck. Best wishes, Brian. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of David Griffith Sent: 04 September 2010 12:20 To: 'Talks Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Talks] FM radio Difficulty Thanks for the swift reply and the heads up on the help files. I am surprised Nuance has not sorted this out. I am afraid that muting Talks has no affect on the radio functionality, well it does not start the radio at any rate. What happens is that, you can bring up a station list without problem. However pressing enter or the context key on the station simply brings up the option to move, edit or delete, but not listen. Pressing back will take you to the main Radio window where again it will be sullenly silent. Going back out to the main application window and pressing enter will re-enter the application whereupon the radio will now often start up, but the station playing will have no relationship to the station you have left selected in the station list. So far I have found without rhyme or reason Heart, XFM, LBC, and BBC London playing when I enter the application. I think it may be an accessibility issue as the manual seems to believe that there is a listen button somewhere on the station list but I cannot find it. I would settle for just having Radio 4 playing and never change the station.

Now as for the the help screens Talks will not read the help menus on symbian 9.3 phones because it is a sort of HTML system and talks will not read it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Griffith" <d.griff...@btinternet.com> To: "'Talks Mailing List'" <talks@talksusers.com> Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 5:45 AM Subject: [Talks] FM radio Difficulty I am having a problem using the FM radio on the Nokia N86 and also more importantly it appears that I cannot read help files. 1. Problem with the FM Radio - I have downloaded a station list from the web and there are many stations listed. According to the text manual I have downloaded to my PC there should be an option to listen, alongside options such as edit move and delete. Whilst Talks is reading out the edit, move and delete options, no listen option is being announced. The radio is nevertheless working as sporadically and inconsistently it starts up when I enter the FM radio application and I can then navigate manually by pressing left or right. If I touch any other key the radio stops and I have to exit the application and re-enter to start the radio again. 2. The second problem is that if I select the option for help it takes me to various help files. However , it does not read the contents of the help window. I have tried pushing the down cursor and pressing Talks then down cursor. Neither works. It would be good if someone could free me of these frustrations.
