Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover on the base of the unit by sliding the cover
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert six LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion and a 'stuttering' sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing.
4. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
We would recommend for economy that the Classic Blutune is used
via the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for
occasional or standby use only.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fi re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Using the radio for the fi rst time
1. Place your radio on a fl at surface.
2. Carefully fully extend the telescopic aerial located on the rear of your
radio.
3. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your
radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet. The display
will show 'WELCOME' for a few seconds.
4. If this is the fi rst time that the radio has been used a scan of the Band III
DAB channels will be carried out. During the scanning process the
display will show the progress of the station search. The number on
the right of the display is the number of stations that have been found.
5. When the scan is completed the fi rst station (in numeric-alpha order
0...9, A...Z will be selected. The fi rst station in the list of stations found
during scanning will be played. The display will show the station name.
If no signals are found then it may be necessary to relocate your radio
to a position giving better reception. You should then carry out a scan
to fi nd stations as described on page 10.
• Your radio has an indicator
on the display to indicate the strength
of the DAB radio signal being received.
6. Adjust the volume as needed using the Volume control.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting
the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must
remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio
from the mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from
the mains socket outlet completely.

Secondary services - DAB

the secondary service will then appear immediately after the primary
service as you rotate the Tuning control.

Presetting stations
In many locations there will be a large number of DAB radio stations to
choose from and you may fi nd it convenient to store a selection of those
that you frequently listen to in the preset station memories in your radio.
There are 20 presets in total, 10 for DAB and 10 for FM. Presets are
remembered by your radio in the event of a power failure.
The procedure for setting presets and using them to tune stations is the
same for FM and DAB modes and is described on page 18.
