Hints and Tips
Display says ‘No stations available’
Check that your headphones are connected and the cable is uncoiled. Use
Autotune to search for services, see page 6. Try moving to another location to
find better reception.
(<</>>) Secondary DAB services
Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or
alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain times. If a station
has secondary services available, the station shows ‘>>’ next to its name in
the station list and the secondary service appears next to the station in the
list. A secondary service has a ‘<<’ before its name in the station list.
(?) Inactive or unavailable DAB stations
Inactive or unavailable stations are those which appear on the station list but
are not currently available because either you are outside the broadcast area,
have lost reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. Unavailable
stations have a ‘?’ before their name on the station list. If you select a station
which has this symbol, your radio tries to tune in or returns to the previous
station.
Battery power indicator is flashing
This may happen if there is a problem charging your ChargePAK. Check
the connections to the ChargePAK and your power supply. A replacement
ChargePAK may be required if this does not solve the problem.
Resetting your PocketDAB 1500
The reset option removes all presets, stored stations and favourite station
settings and resets all options to defaults.
1. Press and hold the menu button for around three seconds. The display
will show ‘Hold POWER to confirm reset...’
2. Press and hold the Power button to confirm the reset or press no buttons
to cancel the reset.
