Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover
in the direction of the arrow.
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. Replace the battery cover.
3. Reduced power, your radio switching off automatically, and a ‘stuttering’ sound 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 Ecologic 3 is used via the
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
or stand-by use only.

Using the AC adaptor
The AC adaptor for use with the Ecologic 3 should provide 7.5 volts
DC output at 800mA centre pin positive.
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 On/Off indicator
will light and the display will show "Roberts" for a few seconds.
3. If this is the fi rst time the radio is used a quick scan of UK Band III
DAB channels will be carried out, known as Auto-tune. The display
will show "Welcome to DAB".
4. During Auto-tune, the lower line of the display shows a bar graph
indicating progress of auto-tune. If the radio has been used before,
then the last used station will be selected instead of the Auto-tune
process.
5. When the Auto-tune is completed the fi rst station found (in numeric-
alpha order 0...9...A....Z) will be selected.
6. If the station list is still empty after the Auto-tune your radio will display
"No stations available".
7. If no stations are found it may be necessary to relocate your radio to
a position giving better reception.

1. The top line of the display shows the name of the station currently
selected.
2. Press either of the Tuning Up or Down buttons to scroll through the
list of available stations.
3. Press and release the Select button to select the station. The display
may show "Tuning" while your radio fi nds the new station.

reception.
Secondary services - DAB
1. Certain radio stations have one or more secondary services associated
with them. If a station has a secondary service associated with it the
display will show ">>" next to the station name on the station list. The
secondary service will then appear immediately after the primary
service as you press the Tuning Up button.
2. Press the Select button to select the station.
