Battery operation

1. Release the catch securing the rear door of your radio.

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. Close the rear door and secure the catch.

3. The Low Battery indicator lighting, distortion, or the radio switching itself off 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-60 is used via the

AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.

Using the AC adaptor

1. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the rear 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 display will show "Welcome to DAB".

3. If this is the ﬁ rst time the radio is used a quick scan of the UK 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 "No stations 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. Rotate the Tuning control to scroll through the list of available stations on the lower line of the display. Stop rotating the Tuning control when you ﬁ nd the station that you wish to hear.

3. Press and release the Tuning control to select the station. The display may show "Now tuning..." 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 "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.
