The FM radio has the ability \opt{recording}{to record and } to remember station frequency settings (presets). Since stations and their frequencies vary depending on location, it is possible to load these settings from a file. Such files should have the filename extension \fname{.fmr} and reside in the directory \fname{/.rockbox/fmpresets} (note that this directory does not exist after the initial Rockbox installation; you should create it manually). To load the settings, i.e. a set of FM stations, from a preset file, just 'play' it from the file browser. Rockbox will 'remember' and use it in \setting{PRESET} mode until another file has been selected. Some preset files are available here: \wikilink{FmPresets} \opt{masf}{\note{The radio will shorten battery life, because the MAS-chip is set to record mode for instant recordings.} } \begin{table} \begin{btnmap}{}{} \ActionFMPrev, \ActionFMNext \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& \ActionRCFMPrev, \ActionRCFMNext} & Change frequency in \setting{SCAN} mode or jump to next/previous station in \setting{PRESET} mode\\ % Long \ActionFMPrev, \ActionFMNext \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{& Long \ActionRCFMPrev, Long \ActionRCFMNext} & Seek to next station or preset in \setting{SCAN} mode.\\ % \ActionFMSettingsInc, \ActionFMSettingsDec \opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{ & \opt{IRIVER_RC_H100_PAD}{\ActionRCFMVolUp, \ActionRCFMVolDown}% \nopt{IRIVER_RC_H100_PAD}{\ActionRCFMSettingsInc, \ActionRCFMSettingsDec}% } & Change volume.\\ \opt{RECORDER_PAD}{ \ButtonPlay & Freezes all screen updates.
