Hints and tips
This section provides information and advice on using your radio.
(‹‹/››) Secondary services
Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain times. At the time of writing not many secondary services are available. If a station has one or more secondary services available the display will show ‘>>’ next to the station name on the station list and the secondary service will appear next to the station as you turn the Tune knob. A secondary service will display ‘<<’ before the service name on the station list showing that it belongs to the station preceding it in the list.
(?) Inactive or unavailable stations
Inactive or unavailable stations are stations which appear on the station list but are not currently available because either you are outside the broadcast area, have lost reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. If the station has ‘?’ before its name in the station list the station is unavailable. If you select a station which has this symbol, your radio tries to tune to that station. If still unavailable, you will return to the last station you were listening to.
I hear a ‘burbling’ sound on some stations
Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if the signal strength is too low. If that happens, a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To help reduce this, check that your aerial is fully extended and upright. If the problem persists try moving your radio or repositioning your aerial using manual tuning.
Display says ‘No stations available’
Check that your aerial is fully extended. Use Autotune to search for stations. Try using manual tuning to adjust your aerial or radio position.
