Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug,
extension leads and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections. DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such
as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment. DON'T place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires. DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compression to compensate for the differences in the dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a station broadcasting popular music may have a high level of compression applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening level, whereas a station broadcasting classical music will have little or no compression as the listener requires all of the highs and lows in the music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
DRC0 No compression applied.
DRC1 Maximum compression applied (this is the default).
DRC1/2 Medium compression applied.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The display shows 'NO SERVICES AVAILABLE'
Make sure that DAB coverage exists in your area.
Try adjusting the position of the antenna.
Poor reception
As with any radio service there will be areas of week signal that may
cause poor reception. Follow the instructions for Manual Tuning and adjust the antenna while monitoring the signal strength until the optimum signal is obtained. If reception is still poor try relocating 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.
The display has gone blank or says 'SERVICE OFF AIR'
This may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a service or
removes a label whilst you are listening to the station. The radio will
try to re-tune to the station. Alternatively perform a SCAN.
