BASIC FUNCTIONS

General operation

DAB or Digital Audio Broadcasting represents a new age in broadcasting technology and as with all new
technologies it is significantly different to traditional Analogue FM/AM broadcast methods. The new system no longer
relies on tuning to a given frequency but instead allows the DAB receiver to provide an active Station List of all
available radio programmes/stations at the touch of one button Station Lists are described in more detail in the DAB
Operation section of this manual.

Before selecting the DAB function for the first time please ensure the telescopic rod aerial is fully extended and
upright.

1. Connect the unit to the household mains supply, Fully extend the telescopic aerial and position upright.

2. Press the Power button on the front panel, press the MODE button to select DAB

3. The unit will automatically start a scan of the DAB services and after 15 to 20 seconds the first station in the
Station List will be heard.

NOTE: At this stage it is possible that the display may show “No DAB service” on the first line of the display and

“Check Aerial?” on the second line of the display. This indicates the unit has been unable to locate any
available DAB stations during the search process.

This may be due to:

a. No DAB stations in the local area Check with the DRDB at www.DRDB.org

or Call the reception

Helpline on 08707 747474

b. The radio needs moving to a different location in order to get adequate reception. The signal strength

indication (See Display button operation) can be used to assist this process.

4. Assuming there is now a Station List available the other stations on the list can be located

a. Directly – use the Next /Previous buttons or

b.Indirectly (i.e. listen to the current station until the required next station is shown on the bottom line of

the 2 line display) use the Up/down buttons then press the select button (pressing and holding the up or
down button will scroll the list at a faster rate)

5. Use the Volume control to increase or decrease the sound output level as required.

Important Reminder for DAB Reception

Please be reminded that this unit is
specifically designed for reception
of UK only DAB stations restricted
to Band 3 (11B to 12D) only it will
therefore NOT receive DAB stations
in European areas that broadcast
on L band

DAB OverviewDAB Overview

DAB Radio tuning is very different to traditional analogue radio tuning. In DAB mode the user is not required to know

anything about station frequencies.

Instead an organised list of the DAB radio stations receivable in the current location is created by the radio. This list

is initially organised into alphabetical order (by the first letter of the station name only).

The “Auto tune” function is the system that the DAB radio uses to create the list of available stations. The list would

be organised in the following way:

TOPA-Example Station >B-Example Station >C-Example Station >D-Example Station >

E-Example Station >F-Example Station >G-Example Station >H-Example Station Bottom

After Autotune has completed the radio will automatically tune to the top station in the Station List. In the fictional

Station List above this would be “A-Example Station”

This radio provides two different ways of selecting stations from the list it has created.

Using the “Up”, “Down”, and “Select / play” buttons – as described later in this manual

Using the “SKIP-” and “SKIP+” buttons – as described later in this manual

When using these buttons to select stations the list is cyclic. Using the above list as an example this means that if the

selection continues down past “H-Example Station” the next station presented will be ”A-Example Station”.

If the same thing is done in the opposite direction i.e. the selection continues up past “A-Example station” the next

station presented will be “H-Example Station”

NOTE:

There is one condition where the Station List is not sorted into alphabetical order.

This is when the “Sort by Favourites” option is switched ON using the “Menu” button as described later in this manual.

However the default setting for the unit at initial Power up is as described above.

The Display

In DAB mode, the name of the station being listened to appears on Line 1 of the display, and the
“dynamic text” (sometimes known as “DLS Text”) will appear on line 2 of the display unless the
“Display”, “Up”, “Down”, “Menu”, or “Select/Timer” buttons have been pressed which change the
information shown on line 2 of the display.

Display Button the “Display” button changes the information displayed on line 2 of

the display by

cycling through the following settings:

Normal (dynamic text for DAB) > signal Strength > Multiplex and station information >
Broadcast Bit rate > audio mode > Clock time.
Normal (dynamic text for DAB) etc

Each time the “Display” button is pressed, the information displayed on line 2 of the display is
changed to one of the above. Continue to press the “Display” button until the required information is
displayed. Note: Sometimes when listening to DAB, the dynamic text may take a few seconds before
it starts to scroll across the display – this is normal.

Normal (DLS Text)

This is the normal display for DAB mode. The DLS text is almost always
longer than the display so it will “scroll” across the display such that all the
content can be read

Signal Strength

The signal strength is shown as a bar on line 2 of the display – the longer
the bar, the stronger the signal. This display can be used when first setting
up your receiver to help you position the aerial for best reception.

Multiplex and Station information

Use these options to find out more technical information about the station
being listened to.

BBC National DAB (the name of the multiplex on which the station is being

transmitted )

160kbits/S - the bitrate of the audio being received (in the range 64 to
384kbit/S)

Audio Mode (the broadcast mode – can be Mono, Stereo, or Joint Stereo)

Clock

The clock is automatically updated when listening to DAB, and is kept up to
date by the receiver when the receiver is switched off. The clock can be displayed
in 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24 hour (default) format.

DAB operation (Contd.)

10

Autotune

When “No Dab Service” is shown in the display, Press the Tune/P.Mode button

to perform a scan of the DAB Band 3 UK spectrum and create a new Station

List of all available DAB stations currently broadcasting . This process

usually takes around 15-20 seconds searching the range (11B-12D) used in

the UK During this process, the display will show how many stations have

been found, and on what “channel” they were found: The number of

stations found varies greatly dependant on the area in which the receiver is

located not all stations are available in all areas.

Once the Autotune function has completed the receiver will tune to the first

station in the Station List.

A required station can then be selected using either the “Prev” /”Next” or the

“Up”, “Down”, “Select” buttons as describe

d later in this manual.

If the radio has been moved, or should additional stations need to be added to the station list, the

“Autotune” function can be used at any time.

Important Note: During the scan process you may find the unit indicates it has found more stations

than the number that appear in the station list, the additional stations that are picked up could be

either.

a. Secondary stations that are accessed via the secondary button (see later notes) or

b. Data services provided on DAB that cannot be used on this unit.

DAB operation (contd.)

Station List

Station List

The Station List is the heart of the DAB Tuning system and is the key fundamental difference
between digital and analogue radio. An example of a fictional Station List is provided at the beginning
of the DAB Operation section of this manual.

A Station List can only be created using the Autotune function

Note: If for some reason no DAB stations can be received, then this
message will be displayed. In such a case the receiver will allow the use

of the “Display” button to select the “Signal” option on line 2 of the display.
This can then be used this to optimise the aerial position for best signal strength. When this has been
done perform “Autotune” as normal . After 15-20 seconds, the radio will have checked for all available
DAB stations, and will have created a new Station List. If the same message reappears then please
Refer to the General Operation section of this manual.

Special Functions of Digital Radio and Station List

All broadcasters are permitted to change the content of their digital radio transmissions at any time by
adding and removing stations.

Many broadcasters take advantage of this facility for catering for special audiences. An example of
this would be adding a special station for children during the day and then replacing it with a more
adult oriented station programming at night.

With DAB stations it is also possible to split an existing station into two or more separate stations for
a period. This is often done on “speech only” stations where the broadcaster may wish to deliver
coverage of different sporting events at the same time. The new stations are “underneath” the
existing (primary) stations and the new stations are known as “Secondary” stations.

These two special functions, are only available on the DAB Network, and can mean that the content
of the Station List changes over time.

Information about these facilities and changes are made available by the following means.

Stations that have been removed or are no longer transmitting

If a station has been removed or has stopped transmitting the Station List will display this with a small
“x” at the end of the Station Name to indicate that this station did exist but has now been removed
This station will not be available for listening to. It is possible that this station will “reappear” at some
time, when and if it does the small “x” will not be present adjacent to the station name and it will then
be available to listen to again.

Secondary Stations

If the DAB station selected has been “split” and there are one or more other stations hidden
underneath it, the radio will indicate this by illuminating the “Secondary” LED which is on the right-hand
side next to the display.

Pressing the “Secondary” button will allow the selection of the first “Secondary Station”. Pressing the
“secondary” button again will select the next secondary station and so on until it returns to the original
(primary station).

DAB operation (Contd.)

DAB operation (contd.)

Selecting Stations to listen to in the Station List

There are two methods available for selecting a station to listen to from the Station List
These methods are called “Direct Mode” and “Indirect Mode”

Please note that stations can be removed from transmission by the broadcaster and this will be indicated in the
Station List as described in the previous section of this manual

Direct Mode

This mode uses the “Prev” and “Next” buttons to select the required station from the Station List
This mode works as follows.
Using the fictional Station List at the beginning of the DAB Operation section of this manual as an example.

When listening to “C-Example Station” and the “Next” buttons is pressed, the receiver will immediately tune the next
station in the Station List “D-Example Station”.

When listening to “C-Example Station” and the “Prev” button is pressed the receiver will immediately tune to the
previous station in the list “B-Example Station”.

NOTE: Don’t forget the Station List is cyclic so continuing the selection down past the bottom of the list will jump to

the top of the list and vice versa. Pressing and holding PREV or NEXT Buttons will scroll quickly through the
station list, releasing the button at the required station will cause immediate retuning to the selected station.

Indirect Mode

The Indirect Mode of selecting stations from the Station List uses the “UP”, “Down”, and “Select”
buttons to choose a station to listen to,

This mode works as follows

Press the “UP” or “Down” button and the second line of the display will change to show the station above or below
the one currently being listened to in the list The top line of the display will continue to show the name of the station
currently being listened to and the audio from the station will continue to be heard. (Pressing and holding the up or
down button will scroll the list at a faster rate)

When the required station is shown on line 2 press the “Select” button to confirm selection. The name of the station
will then move to line 1 of the display and after a brief pause, the audio for the station will be heard.

Line 2 of the display will return to the information that was selected prior to the “Up” or “Down” button being pressed.

With the exception of the “Select” button the only other button that can be used to exit this mode is the “Power”
button.

Selecting Stations from the Station List (contd.)

Storing and Recalling Presets in DAB

To make the selection of the most listened to stations faster, up to 10 DAB stations can be stored into preset
memories.

The preset memories are in the form of a list of Preset Locations numbered 0 to 9.

Storing a Station as a Preset

To store a station into a Preset location

1) Tune the radio to the required station.

2)

Press and hold the “Preset” button for more than 3 seconds and the first preset in the list of Preset

Locations will appear with “

S-00” on line 2 of the display.

Note: The name of the current station stored in that Preset location will be shown or “empty” will be

displayed if nothing is currently stored there.

3) Use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to select the location in which to store the station. The preset list is cyclic
therefore scrolling down past location 9 will jump to location 0 and scrolling up past location 0 will jump to
location 9.

4) Press the “Select” button to store the station into the chosen preset location.

5) The station is now stored in that location. Note: any previous station stored in the selected location will be
overwritten.

6) To confirm the store operation was successful. “Stored” will show in line 1 of the display for a few seconds,

Sort station list by Favourites

Selecting this function will move the Favourite Stations to the top of the current Station List in order of “most
frequently listened to”.

What is a “Favourite Station”

A station will become a favourite in two ways, using a scoring system. The station that has the highest
score becomes the “most favourite”, the station with the second highest score becomes the
“second favourite” and so on up to a maximum number of five stations.

The first part of the scoring system relates to the number of times a station is tuned to, the more times it is tuned
to the higher the score becomes.

The second part of the scoring system relates to the length of time a station is listened to. The longer a station

is listened to the higher the score becomes.

NOTE: All favourite station scores are set to zero when an Autotune operation is performed.
