Battery operation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the base of the unit by pushing in the
battery cover on the word "Close" and sliding towards "Open"
2. Insert six 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, 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 RD-11 is used on the
mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or
stand-by use only.
Mains operation
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.
2. Plug the mains lead into the Socket located on the rear of your radio
ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on
the wall socket.

show Roberts DAB digital radio for a few seconds.
3. If this is the first time the radio is used a quick scan of UK Band III
DAB channels will be carried out. The display will show Autotune
Quick scan. If the radio has been used before the last used station
will be selected.
4. During Autotune as each group of stations is detected the bottom
line of the display will show its name and the station count will be
updated. The top line of the display shows a bargraph indicating
progress of the Autotune.
5. When the Autotune is completed the first station (in numeric-alpha
order 0...9...A....Z) will be selected.
6. If the station list is still empty after the Autotune your radio will display
No Signal.
7. If no signals are found it may be necessary to relocate your radio
