3. Press home button to come back main menu
Good luck
For sansa clip plus:
1. the same as about.
2. Getting into Settings, you have 4 options (Music, Audiobook, Radio, and System Settings). Languages with letters (a, b, c, ....), you can see "Radio...." option, move the selection bar down 1 - it is System Settings. If Languages without letters a, b, c, ...., you have to get in to each option, at each option you move the selection bar down or up to find letters " USB...." , it means you are inside System Settings, from USB, press down button 6 times, and select it (language option), scroll up/ down to select English.

Dude I have one in front of me so listen and follow along first turn the unit on, second push the menu button, this is the very small buttonright to the right of the SANSA namewhen you push that button the first thing you will see is the words MUSIC while thats on the screen hit the play button that looks like this >|| and you will scroll through all the settings you will see the fm radio selection when you get to it hit the middle button and the radio will come on.

1) Go into the settings menu, go to FM settings, and make sure the FM Region is set for United States. If you are outside the US, change it to "World"
2) The radio might initially be set for Pause - to test this, turn to a specific radio station that you know you get, and press up on the clickwheel. The "block" icon underneath the radio station should now change to a play arrow, if indeed it was on pause.

Press the home button to go back and forth between menus - here is a link to the user manual:

-Tha Mp3 Doctor

Separate product - listening to mp3's through your car radio is the most complicated and most expensive option; cheapest is a casette adapter if your car has a casette player, or a cd adapter for cd player - one end will plug into headphone jack of Sansa player. Best Buy has the widest selection of adapters. I would get the type of adapter that plugs into the headset - wired. Wireless adapters are "neat," but unreliable (and expensive).

-Tha Mp3 Doctor

The service may not be available in your area. Make sure the headphones are connected to the player when searching for radio stations: Here's pg 15 of the user manual:

FM Radio (if applicable)
The Sansa
®
player includes an integrated FM radio for listening to live broadcast FM
stations. Please note that the FM Radio function may not be available in your region.
Listening to FM Radio
To listen to live broadcast FM station, follow these steps:

2. A radio frequency menu will appear.
3. Press |<< or >>| to adjust and search for the desired frequency, or select

maybe you should try buying new headphones,if that doesnt work send it in for repair (they will usually just give you a brand new sansa!!!)
