Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover on the base 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 RD-76 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 RD76 should provide 6 volts DC
output at 800mA centre pin negative.
1. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the rear of your radio.
1
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.

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 digital radio" for a few seconds and the On/Off indicator will
light.
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. The display will show "Now tuning". If the
radio has been used before the last used station will be selected.
4. During Autotune, 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 bargraph indicating progress of the Autotune.
5. When the Autotune 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 Autotune your radio will display
"Station not available".
7. If no signals are found it may be necessary to relocate your radio to
a position giving better reception.
