GETTING STARTED

DAB/FM AERIAL

Before using your radio for DAB or FM reception, always unclip and fully extend the aerial. The aerial has a rotating base to enable adjustment for maximum signal strength.

SETTING THE CLOCK

The clock on your radio is automatically set when first used from the time signal broadcast with DAB radio stations.

The clock is not set by the user.

INITIAL SCAN

When your radio is used for the first time:

The radio scans all usable stations (full scan) and stores them alphanumerically -1 Radio, 2 Radio, AA Radio, AB Radio...

The initial scan will take a few minutes. After the scan, the number of stations found will be displayed, the clock will be set, the radio will display the first station in the sequence and begin playing at the default system volume of 10.

Note: If no stations are found after the scan,‘0 Services Found’, then ‘Service N/A’ will be displayed. If this happens, switch the radio off and move it to a location with a stronger signal. When you switch the radio back on it will automatically repeat the scan process.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

To increase the volume:

•Turn the VOLUME/SELECT knob clockwise.

To decrease the volume:

•Turn the VOLUME/SELECT knob anti-clockwise.
