Battery operation
1. Release the catch securing the rear door of your radio.
2. Insert four LR20 (D 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. Close the rear door and secure the catch.
3. The Low Battery indicator lighting, distortion, or the radio switching itself off 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 Revival Sovereign is used via
the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by 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 AC adaptor
1. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the left hand side of your radio.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is used the batteries are automatically disconnected.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the radio
when not in use.
• 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.

Operating your radio - DAB
1. Carefully extend the telescopic aerial.
2. Press the On/Off button to switch on your radio. The display will show 'Welcome to DAB'.
3. If this is the fi rst time the radio is used a scan of the Band III DAB channels will be carried out. If the radio has been used before the last used station will be selected.
4. During the scanning process, the lower line of the display shows a bar-graph indicating progress of the scan.
5. When the scanning is completed the fi rst station (in numeric-alpha
order 0...9...A....Z) will be selected.
6. If the station list is still empty after the scan your radio will display 'Service not available'.
7. If no signals are found it may be necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving better reception. Then, either switch your radio off and on again, or press the Auto Tune button to repeat the scan.
Note: Radio station name and frequency displays shown in this user guide may differ from those that you see on your radio. Broadcasters may change radio station names that are transmitted, and the frequencies used for DAB and FM radio stations may not be the same in all parts of the country.
