Please read the safety leaet provided before charging your radio.

Your radio operates on a built-in Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged either using a USB charging
port or from a USB power adaptor (not included) with a rated output of DC5V, 1000mA.

Note: You can begin using the radio whilst charging. Make sure the USB power source can provide
5V 1A of electrical current. If not, it may damage the USB power source.

Before operating your radio for the rst time please fully charge
the battery. This may take up to 6 hours.

red. When fully charged, the charging indicator will turn off.

B - Fit the external antenna

1 Insert the external antenna plug into the antenna socket located

on the rear of your radio. The antenna is used for both DAB and

recommence tuning from the opposite end of the waveband. If the

signal is strong enough and there is RDS data present then the

radio will display the station name.

various FM display options. The display options are station name,
scrolling text, program type, date and frequency.
