This is Pico’s principle (top level) menu, and
allows you to enter different operating
modes, setup the radio, and view

they show the functions available within the

(DAB mode, FM mode etc.).

Pressing the

MENU button at any time will

take you to the Mode menu of the operating
mode your radio is currently in. Each Mode
menu includes a listing for Main Menu –

key and switching between FM Mode and

Manual Tune

Choose the ‘Manual tune’ option from the

DAB Mode menu.

The ‘Manual tune’ selection screen allows you
to select a particular frequency to tune to.
The list of frequencies displayed is dependant
on the currently-set frequency band and
contains all of the frequencies within that
band. It starts with the short name of the
frequency, for example 12B, and is followed
by the actual frequency in MHz.

If there is a station corresponding to this
station number and frequency, the display
will show the name, frequency, and a
tuning meter will show the signal strength.

DRC - Dynamic Range Control

Pico includes a dynamic range control that
automatically boosts the volume of quieter
sounds for listening in noisy environments.

The DRC control is found in the DAB Mode
menu under ‘DRC’. There are three
pre-defined settings as follows:

Local and Full Scan

As time passes, new stations will become
available in your area. To find them and
add them to your station list it is
necessary to perform either a ‘Local’ or
‘Full’ scan. Both operations can be
accessed via the DAB Mode menu.

A Local Scan performs a shorter scan of
only the ‘local’ ensemble range.

A Full Scan will take longer, but will cover
the complete DAB ensemble range.

Favourite Station Presets

Pico allows you to store 12 favourite
station presets, either via the

PRESET

button on Pico itself, or via the

optional Pico remote control.

To save the station you are currently
listening to as a preset, simply press the
PRESET button then use the scroll wheel to
find an unused location. Now press the
scroll wheel to store.

To listen to a stored station press the
PRESET button then use the scroll wheel to
locate your desired preset, then press to
select.

FM Operation

mode, it will start at the beginning of the FM
frequency range. Otherwise, the last FM
station you were listening to will be selected.

To scan through the FM frequency range
turn the scroll wheel.

To ‘SEEK’ the next active station, press the
scroll wheel.

Using MPort

Revo’s MPort connector allows for quick
and easy connection of an iPod® or other
MP3 player or sound source.

Using the connection lead supplied, Pico is
transformed into a high quality digital
audio speaker system.

Connect one end of the supplied audio
lead to the headphone (or auxiliary out)
socket of your source device, then
connect the other end to the MPort
on the front of Pico.

Pico’s LCD screen will now display the
word ‘MPort’ on its screen.

You should adjust the output volume level
on both the source device and on Pico
itself to gain optimal volume levels and
sound performance.

Trouble-Shooting

DAB Digital Radio

Q. I hear a ‘burbling’ noise on some

stations.

A. If the signal strength is too low, a break-

up in reception can occur and this sound
is the result. Make sure that Pico’s
antenna is fully extended and in an
upright position. If the problem persists,
move Pico to another location or check
that you are in an area where reception
of this station is possible.

Q. I get a ‘No stations available’ message?

A. Make sure that your antenna is fully

extended and vertical. Check the signal
strength and move Pico to another
location if necessary.

Q. Pico’s clock isn’t set.

A. Pico needs to be able to pick-up a DAB

signal or have its clock set manually.
If Pico can find a DAB station, it can then
set its clock.

Factory Reset

In the unlikely event that Pico performs erratically, it is possible to perform a software
reset to restore the original factory settings. The factory reset option can be found under the
System Setup heading, which itself can be found under the Main Menu.
