Battery operation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the
catch downwards. Open the battery door.
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 on the rear of your radio. Close the battery door.
3. The Low battery indicator, 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-15 is used via the
mains adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.
Using the AC adaptor
Your radio is supplied with a Mains Adaptor.
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.
2. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the left hand
end of your radio.
3. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13 amp 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.

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 "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
to a position giving better reception.
