Key Features
DAB radio
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the next generation of radio.
DAB was developed in Europe by a consortium of broadcasters and manufacturers.
DAB uses digital audio compression techniques to transform the source material, i.e. music and speech,
into digital code before it is transmitted. The code consists of electronic ‘ones and zeros’ called binary
digits or bits. The binary code is then multiplexed or grouped together to create a superior signal, when
compared with the older, analogue system, with the following key benefits:
• Near CD quality sound
• Interference free reception
• No need to retune
iPod Docking
Any iPod can be connected to the DAB radio to allow all your songs to be played through the DAB radio
speakers. Various adaptors are provided to allow all iPods to be connected.

WEEE

with European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and

The guideline determines the

Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you and to us,
so please take care when using the DAB Radio.
It is strongly recommended that you follow the
listed guidelines in order to prevent possible
damage or loss of hearing, especially when using
headphones.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous
loud sounds and will give the impression that the
volume has in fact been reduced. What seems
normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard
against this before your hearing adapts, set
the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear
comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is
irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears
indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening
level, do not increase the sound level.
