information.
Tuning
Tuning DAB is very simple. When first switched on the unit
it will start an automatic tuning process described below.
Tuning for the first time
When the DAB function is selected for the first time an
autotune process will be performed automatically. A
progress indicator on the display shows that autotune is
in progress. “Welcome to Digital Radio” will be displayed.
When stations are found during autotune
The stations will be stored in alphanumeric order and the
first station on the list will be selected and will be heard. To
listen to other stations, see Selecting a station.
