Roberts Radio MP-24 manual Using an alternative aerial, General

Using an alternative aerial

Your sound system comes with a wire aerial which should be arranged vertically behind the unit for best DAB reception. With reasonable signal conditions this will be sufficient for good reception. However, if the signal at the chosen location for the radio is very poor, it may be that reception would benefit from an external aerial.

1.To remove the supplied aerial, first disconnect the unit from the mains.

2.Then remove the small cover panel on the right hand side of the unit. This is secured with two screws.

3.A special aerial removal tool is supplied with your sound system. Pass the wire of the aerial through the tool, and then insert the tool into the recess beneath the cover.

4.Turn the tool anti-clockwise to disconnect the aerial. This reveals a standard F-type socket on to which an alternative aerial feed may be connected.

5.Reverse the procedure if you wish to re-attach the supplied aerial.

IMPORTANT:

•The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the sound system to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the sound system must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the sound system from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

•The sound system shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the radio.

•It is recommended to operate the product such that there is a minimum distance (10cm recommended) to adjacent objects in order to ensure good ventilation.

•The ventilation of the product should not be restricted by covering it or its ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains etc.

•No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed on the product.

•It is recommended to avoid using or storing the product at extremes of temperature. Avoid leaving the unit in cars, on window sills in direct sunlight etc.

•The sound system must be used in a moderate climate.

General

Do not allow this radio to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave your radio where excessive heat could cause damage. It is recommended that the DAB band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the FM band.

•The name plate is located on the underside of your sound system.
