Once assembled, your FM radio is ready for operation. This section details how to power on the device, adjust settings, and utilize its features.

విద్యుత్ సరఫరా మోడ్‌లు

The radio supports two power supply options:

• USB పవర్: Use the included USB cable to connect the radio to a compatible USB power source (e.g., a computer USB port, a USB wall adapter, or a power bank). The working voltage 3V/5V.
• బ్యాటరీ శక్తి: For portable use, you can install batteries into the battery case. Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately.

మూర్తి 3: Illustration of the two power supply modes: via USB cable (top) and via battery case (bottom). The USB cable provides 3V/5V power, while the battery case allows for portable operation (batteries not included).

హెడ్‌ఫోన్ జాక్

The radio is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing for private listening. Simply plug in your headphones (not included) to enjoy audio without disturbing others.

నిర్వహణ

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FM radio kit.

• శుభ్రపరచడం: యాక్రిలిక్ శుభ్రం చేయడానికి మృదువైన, పొడి వస్త్రాన్ని ఉపయోగించండి సి.asing and circuit board. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the materials.
• నిల్వ: ప్రత్యక్ష సూర్యకాంతి మరియు తీవ్రమైన ఉష్ణోగ్రతలకు దూరంగా చల్లని, పొడి ప్రదేశంలో రేడియోను నిల్వ చేయండి.
• నిర్వహణ: Handle the assembled radio with care to prevent damage to the electronic components or solder joints.

ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్

If you encounter issues with your FM radio kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• పవర్ లేదు/డిస్ప్లే లేదు:
  • USB కేబుల్ సురక్షితంగా కనెక్ట్ చేయబడిందని మరియు పవర్ సోర్స్ యాక్టివ్‌గా ఉందని నిర్ధారించుకోండి.
  • If using batteries, check that they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge.
  • Verify the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
• శబ్దం లేదు/ధ్వని నాణ్యత తక్కువగా ఉంది:
  • Check the volume level using both the buttons and the R1 potentiometer.
  • Ensure the antenna is fully extended for optimal signal reception.
  • If using headphones, ensure they are fully plugged into the 3.5mm jack.
  • Inspect all solder joints, especially those connected to the speaker, headphone jack, and main ICs, for any cold joints or short circuits. Re-solder if necessary.
• Unable to Tune Channels:
  • Confirm the antenna is extended.
  • Ensure all components related to tuning (e.g., variable capacitors, if any, or tuning buttons) are correctly soldered and functioning.
• సాధారణ పనిచేయకపోవడం:
  • The most common issue with DIY kits is soldering errors. Carefully re-examine all solder points for proper connection, especially for small components.
  • Verify that all components are placed in the correct orientation (e.g., electrolytic capacitors, diodes, integrated circuits).
