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 six LR14 (C 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, distortion 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 radio 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. Place your radio on a fl at surface and plug the mains adaptor into the DC input socket located on the rear of your radio (marked 'DC in') ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
2. Plug the other end of the mains adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet and switch on the wall socket. Whenever the adaptor is used the batteries are automatically disconnected.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and
from 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 mains indicator will light and the display will show "Roberts digital radio" 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. This is known as "Auto tune". The display will show "Now tuning". If the radio has been used before the last used station will be selected.
4. During Auto tune, the display will show "Scanning" and as each group of stations is detected the station count will be updated. The bottom line of the display shows a bar graph indicating progress of the Auto tune.
5. When the Auto tune is completed the fi rst station (in numeric-alpha
order 0...9...A....Z) will be selected. The fi rst station in the list of stations
found will be played. The display will show the station name in the fi rst line of the display and other information in the second line.
6. If the station list is still empty after the Auto tune your radio will display "No Signal".

7. If no stations are found, "Station not available" will be displayed and it may be necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving better reception. You should then carry out an auto tune to fi nd stations as described on page 9 (see Finding new stations on page 9).
