Using the AC adaptor
The Sports DAB features a built-in 1800mAH rechargeable Lithium battery to power your radio. Before operating the radio for the fi rst time, ensure that you fully charge the radio.
1. Place your radio on a fl at surface. Carefully pull back the protection cover and insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the right hand side of your radio.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. If the radio is switched on the battery indicator will become animated showing charging in progress.
3. The radio will begin charging the built-in battery. Charging time will take 4 hours with the radio switched off and 10 hours if the radio is switched on.
4. The battery power icon on the LCD display will fl ash whilst charging and stop fl ashing when the radio is fully charged
. Reduced power, distortion, 'stuttering' sounds or the battery power indicator low are all signs that the battery needs to be recharged.
Note: The mains adaptor which is supplied with your radio is a high effi ciency type, designed to minimise energy consumption, whether the radio is playing, charging its battery or switched off. Do not use any other mains adaptor in place of the unit supplied. Such use will invalidate your guarantee.
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.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the radio when not in use.

Keylock function
The Keylock function is used to prevent unintentional operation of your radio.
1. Set the Lock switch located on the top of
your radio to the 'Lock' position. If the radio is switched on 'Key locked' will appear on the display. The On/Off and all other buttons will be disabled, this will prevent accidental opera­tion when your radio is packed in a suitcase or travel bag.
2. To release the Lock switch, move the lock
switch to the 'Unlock' position.

3. If this is the fi rst time the radio is used a quick 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. Your radio will automatically set to the current time.
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 follow the procedure page 23 to repeat the scan.
