Battery operation

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the battery door in slightly and then downwards in the direction of the arrows in the diagram.

2. Insert six LR14 (C size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown on the back of the radio. Then replace the battery cover.

• When the batteries are exhausted, the battery light will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible

to switch the radio back on until the batteries are replaced, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.

• 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 Classiclite 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 rear of your radio marked 'DC in'.

2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is plugged in to the radio and switched on at the mains the batteries are automatically disconnected. If the adaptor is plugged in to the radio but not switched on then the radio will run from the batteries if ﬁ tted.

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 Roberts'.

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.

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.

Selecting a station - DAB

1. The top line of the display shows the name of the station currently selected.

2. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons to scroll through the list of available stations on the lower line of the display. Stop pressing the Tuning buttons when you ﬁ nd the station that you wish to hear.

3. Press and release the Select button to select the station. The display may show 'Connecting...' while your radio ﬁ nds the new station.

4. Adjust the Volume control to the required setting.

Note: If after selecting a station the display shows 'Service not available' it may be necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving better reception.

The use of radio station presets for selecting your preferred radio stations is described on page 16.
