Problem What to do
There is no sound from my radio
Check that the volume is not set to the minimum.
Make sure that the radio has been able to locate
DAB/FM stations.
The display shows ‘NO SERVICES
AVAILABLE’ in DAB mode
Make sure that DAB coverage exists in your area.
Try adjusting the position of the aerial or location
of the radio.
Poor reception
As with any radio service, there will be areas
of weak signal that may cause poor reception.
Follow the instructions for Manual Tuning
on 4.7 and adjust the aerial while monitoring
the signal strength until the optimum
signal is obtained. If reception is still poor,
try re-locating the radio to another part of the room.
I cannot access secondary services
At the time of publishing this manual not many
secondary services are available in the UK.
This will increase as more DAB stations start
broadcasting. If a secondary service station
is available, the secondary indicator ‘>>’
will be displayed next to the station name.
Some of the buttons on the
DAB Digital Radio are not working
This may be caused by electrostatic discharge.
Turn the DAB Digital Radio off, disconnect the
mains plug and reconnect after a few seconds.
