Introduction
Thank you for choosing the PURE EVOKE-2 DAB and FM radio. The EVOKE-2 uses the latest DAB technology to bring you crystal clear digital radio with no hiss, crackle or fade. EVOKE-2 offers you more

Quick start
This section provides information on how to set up and start using your EVOKE-2. For further details on using your radio see Connecting up on page 4 and Using your EVOKE-2 on page 6.
1. Fully extend the telescopic aerial.
2. Attach the supplied mains adapter and plug in to your power supply or insert six ‘C’ size 1.5V batteries into the battery compartment.

Connecting up
This section provides information on connecting your aerial, power adapter and any other audio devices. Connector sockets are provided on the rear panel of your EVOKE-2. Before connecting other devices to your EVOKE-2, switch both devices off. For a quick setup you can connect just your power supply and aerial – the other connections listed are optional and will not prevent normal operation of the unit.
Connecting to an aerial
The supplied telescopic aerial enables your EVOKE-2 to receive DAB and FM radio transmissions. If you find that the telescopic aerial does not provide good reception you can remove this aerial and connect an alternative aerial. For information on aerial types and positioning see Aerial advice on page 17. To find out about DAB coverage in your area, see the list of useful addresses on page 15.
1. Unscrew the large nut on the end of the telescopic aerial to remove the aerial from the Aerial socket. Note Take care not to unscrew the thin nut behind that holds the aerial connector itself in place.
2. Screw the aerial plug of your replacement aerial onto the Aerial connector on the rear of your digital radio.
You may have to experiment with different aerial positions to find the best reception for particular DAB or FM
services. You may find that you want to move the radio around your living space to find the best location for reception – near a window may provide better reception.
Connecting to an external amplifier
You can connect your EVOKE-2 to an external amplifier. This may be a stand alone unit or it may be built into your existing hi-fi system or powered speakers. You can use either the Stereo Out (analogue) or Digital Out sockets to connect to your amplifier.
Connect the Stereo Out socket to the Tuner-in sockets on the back of your amplifier using a suitable cable. Connect the Digital Out socket to the Digital-in socket on the back of your amplifier using an optical cable. Remove the
small plugs from the sockets first. Suitable connecting cables are available from PURE Digital, see page 18 for details.

Connecting to an external recorder
You can connect your EVOKE-2 to an external recording device. This may be a stand alone unit such as a tape recorder or MiniDisc recorder or it may be built into your existing hi-fi system.
Connect the Stereo Out socket to the Line-in sockets on the back of your recorder using a suitable cable. Connect the Digital Out socket to the Digital-in socket on the back of your recorder using an optical cable. Remove the small plugs from the sockets first. Suitable connecting cables are available from PURE Digital, see page 19 for details.
Connecting to headphones
You can connect a set of stereo headphones to your EVOKE-2 radio using the headphones socket.
Connecting to power supply
Once you have made all other connections, connect the supplied power lead to the socket on the rear of your digital radio and plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. Always use the supplied adapter to prevent damage to your radio.
Using batteries
To use battery power as an alternative to a mains power supply, remove the battery compartment door on the rear panel and insert six size ‘C’ batteries. If you use rechargeable batteries, connecting the unit to the mains will not recharge the batteries.
The battery supply is switched off when your EVOKE-2 is connected to the mains. To switch to battery supply remove the power adapter plug from the rear of the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When battery power becomes low your EVOKE-2 may switch itself off and on again – sometimes quite rapidly – resulting in a pulsing ‘heart beat’ type sound. This is a consequence of digital technology which needs a certain minimum power to receive DAB. When the batteries drop below that minimum level your EVOKE-2 will switch off. The EVOKE-2 has a powerful amplifier which, when turned up high, can cause a large battery drain, particularly if the batteries are old. Reducing the volume will help to extend the battery life. PURE Digital also recommends that you use high quality Alkaline or 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable batteries rated at 3000mA or higher.
