Using your Stereo DAB/FM Radio
Let’s get started
Teles copic aeria l
Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before
you attempt to tune to a DAB station (a vertical position is
recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal
strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending
the aerial also ensures the best possible sound quality.
DAB Radio mode
• Check that your Radio is in DAB mode. If you are not already
in DAB mode, short press the Mode button (under the top
cover), until you are in DAB mode (check the display).
• The first time you use the Radio or if the station list is empty,
your radio will automatically begin to 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.
• If you were listening to a DAB station when you switched
the radio off, then this station will automatically be selected
when you switch the radio back on.
Changing DAB stations
1. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll through the
available stations.
2. When the station that you would like to listen to is
displayed, short press the rotary Tune/Select control to
select. There will be a short delay whilst your radio tunes to
your selected station.

Using your Stereo DAB/FM Radio
Scanning for DAB stations
With DAB radio additional stations and services regularly
become available, so it’s a good idea to carry out a manual scan
every now and then to make sure that you have the most up
to date station listing stored within the memory of your Radio.
If you have moved your Radio to another location, e.g.: if you
go on holiday, then it’s also a good idea to carry out a manual
scan.
In DAB mode:
1. Short press the Scan button (under the top cover), to begin
a search for stations. The display will change to ‘Scanning...’.
A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and
the number of stations found during the scan will also be
displayed.
Prune DAB stations
You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot
be received in your area. These are listed with a ‘?’ prefix.
In DAB mode:
1. Short press the Menu button (under the top cover), to enter
the menu options.
2. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll to <Prune> and
press to select.
3. Prune? Yes <No> is displayed. Use the rotary Tune/Select
control to scroll to Yes, press to select and prune the station
list. Stations with a ‘?’ prefix will now no longer be displayed.
4. Short press the Menu button to exit the Menu options.

National DAB, Digital 1 Network.
• Channel and Frequency - e.g.: 12B 225.648 MHz

Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB mode:
The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the
broadcaster for each radio station and may be different for
the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or classical
music or a chat show. The dynamic range control signal
is transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each
programme and with your radio you can use this control signal
to expand or compress the dynamic range (the difference
between the loudest and quietest sounds) of the reproduced
audio signal. Changing the dynamic range can affect the
‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the programme that you
hear so that it will be more suited to your listening conditions
and your own personal listening requirements. e.g. in a noisy
environment, where quiet sounds might be swamped, setting
the compression to maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds,
whilst keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.
There are 3 levels of compression:
• DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
• DRC low - medium compression.
• DRC high - maximum compression.
1. Short press the Menu button (under the top cover), to enter
the menu options.
2. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll to <DRC> and
press to select.
3. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll through the
options and press to select.

Teles copic aeria l
Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before
you attempt to tune to a FM station (a vertical position is
recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal
strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending
the aerial also ensures the best possible sound quality.
Tun ing to a n FM sta tion
• Short press the Scan button (under the top cover) to scan
up the frequency band. Your radio will search for the next

frequency in 0.05MHz steps or to scroll through the FM
frequency band.
