Instructions for use

Check the package contents

The package contains:

• 1 x Retro DAB/FM Radio

• 1 x mains adaptor

• 1 x instruction manual

Where to put your Radio

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

• on a ﬂat and stable surface Note: Never place your Radio directly onto antique or polished surfaces.

• 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

• away from bright sunlight or heat sources, such as a radiator

• not in a humid or very damp place such as a bathroom

Setting up

1. Connect the mains power lead into the socket on the back of the Radio and fully extend the radio 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. Rotate the On/O wheel on the top of the radio to ‘On’. The display will light up and ‘Welcome to Digital Radio’ will be displayed.

4. Press and release the ‘Standby’ button on the top of your radio. Your radio will switch on and begin an automatic scan for DAB radio stations. A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed.

When the scan is complete your radio will select the ﬁrst available station and begin to play. Stations are listed in numerical and then alphabetical order by default.

Note: The DAB radio station list is stored in the memory and so the next time you switch your radio on, the station search does not take place. It is possible to scan manually for stations. Please see page 9.

5. Inserting the batteries (optional). Before installing the batteries (not included) please ensure that the Radio is switched o (rotate the wheel on the top to ‘OFF’) and is unplugged from the mains power supply.

On the back of the Radio, push down the two tabs to release and remove the battery compartment cover.

Insert 4 x 1.5V C-size (also known as LR-14) batteries, making sure to note the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ markings and position the batteries the correct way around.

Replace the battery cover, making sure it ‘clicks’ shut. If used continuously on battery power, your Radio has an approximate battery life

of 5 hours when using good 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 product will be synchronised automatically to that broadcast by the DAB service in 24 hour mode; which is in line with daylight saving, so there is no need to set the time and date manually.

If you do wish to set the time and date manually, please see page 16.

Using headphones

You can connect headphones with a 3.5mm plug (not included) to your Radio. The stereo headphone socket can be found on the back of the Radio at the bottom. When you have headphones connected the Radio speaker is switched o and all sound is via the headphones.

Note: Always keep the volume within reasonable limits.
