Unpacking

Unpack the device carefully and make sure that all accessories are available:

User manual Remote-control FM/DAB-aerial LR03/AAA 1.5-volt battery

Notes for reading the manual

Most functions can be controlled using the remote control.

Preparing the remote control

• Insert the batteries into the remote control with the correct polarity (+ and -).

• The battery supplied is intended to test the functions on the remote and may have a limited lifespan.

• If the remote control’s range decreases, replace the old battery with a new one.

• If the remote control’s sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or light from high-frequency fluorescent tubes,

it may malfunction. If this happens, you should move the system to a different location to avoid such a

malfunction.

Connecting the device

• Unpack the device carefully and make sure that all the accessories are present.

• Connect the right and left speaker with their corresponding connections

(

Speaker Out) at the rear of the device.

• Insert the power plug firmly into an AC wall outlet.

DAB+ / VHF aerial connection

1. Connect the cable to the socket [ANTENNA FM 750].

2. Look for the place where you can get the best signal.

3. Secure the aerial into position.

• The aerial that comes with the system is a simple wire antenna. Using an external aerial is recommended to

get a more stable signal. First disconnect your internal aerial in order to connect an outdoor aerial.

• A DAB reception is not guaranteed when receiving radio station signals over a cable network.
