Troubleshooting

Positioning your Mono DAB/FM Radio

Please consider carefully in advance where your Radio will be situated and make sure that it is:

• on a flat and stable surface

• within 1.4 metres of a power socket (if using mains power). Please ensure that the mains power lead is not a trip hazard.

• at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference

• where you can fully extend the telescopic aerial

• never place your Radio directly onto antique or polished surfaces

Power connection

1. Connect the mains power lead into the socket on the back of the radio and fully

extend the telescopic aerial in a vertical position to obtain the maximum signal strength.

2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains power wall socket and switch on.

3. Slide the On/Off power switch on the back of the radio to On. The product display

will light up, ‘Welcome to Digital Radio’ will be displayed and then your radio will go to Standby mode.

Note: When you are using batteries to power your radio and slide the On/Off power switch on the back of the radio to On, the product display will light up, ‘Welcome to Digital Radio’ will be displayed and then your radio will immediately scan for DAB stations. There is no Standby mode when you are using battery power.
