If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-

Using the radio for the ﬁ rst time

1. Place your radio on a ﬂ at surface.

2. Fully extend the telescopic aerial. The aerial should be fully extended and positioned vertically for optimum reception.

3. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13 amp mains socket outlet. The display will show 'Welcome to Digital Radio' for a few seconds. After a short time the current time and date will appear on the display. During this time the radio is scanning to ﬁ nd a DAB radio signal.

4. If no signals are found, 'Time is not set' will be displayed. 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 13.

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.

Characters appearing on the LCD display or the power light being illuminated indicates that the radio is connected to and powered from the mains supply.

Operating your radio

1. Fully extend the telescopic aerial. The aerial should be fully extended and positioned vertically for optimum reception.

2. Press the On / Standby button to switch on your radio.

When ﬁ rst switched on, the radio will be in DAB mode. After each use

the radio will remember the mode used and then switch on in that mode the next time that it is used.

3. If this is the ﬁ rst time that the radio has been used a quick scan of the Band III DAB channels may be carried out. (The scan is normally performed automatically when the clock is ﬁ rst set page 8). If the radio has been used before, the last used station will be selected. If new radio stations are found, they will be added to the stored list of stations.

4. When the scan is completed the ﬁ rst station (in numeric-alpha order

0....9, A....Z will be selected. The display will show the station name.

5. 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 13.

Note: When ﬁ rst switched on, the radio will set the volume to a moderately high level, in case the broadcast is very quiet. After you have set the volume using the Volume Up or Down buttons, the radio will remember the setting that you have applied for the next time that it is used.
