It is important that you consider carefully in advance where your
radio will be situated and make sure that it is:

Note: Never place your radio directly onto antique or polished
surfaces.
• within 1.3 metres of a power socket, if using mains power.
Please ensure that the mains power lead is not a trip hazard.

device (e.g. iPod/ iPhone/iPad/Android/other phone/
computer, which is about 10 metres or less (33 feet or less) in

quality alkaline batteries. When the battery power is low,
please switch o the radio and replace the batteries.
For battery operation, please switch o the mains adaptor and
remove the mains power plug from the back of the radio.
Time and date
The first time you listen to DAB radio, the time and date of your
