A control apparatus of a capacitive touch sensor includes a capacitive sensor, a radio receiver, a setting unit, and a charge control unit. The capacitive sensor is coupled to a manipulation panel and detects an approach of a finger of a user to the manipulation panel and a touch of the finger on the manipulation panel. The radio receiver receives a radio broadcast at a radio receiving frequency. The setting unit sets a sensing frequency to a selected value, which is determined from a plurality of selectable sensing frequency values, corresponding to the radio receiving frequency. The charge control unit is coupled to a switching unit, and controls the switching unit to operate at the sensing frequency in order to charge and discharge an electrostatic capacitance generated between the capacitive sensor and the finger.
