$ Pressing the INFO button will cycle you through these settings:

DAB MODE

Signal strength

DLS(Scrolling text)

Programme Type

Multiplex(Group name)

Time/Date

Bit Rate

SIGNAL STRENGTH: This is a bar to indicate the signal strength. The
stronger the signal, the longer the bar will be from left to right.

Tip: Adjusting the aerial to maximise the
length of the bar will greatly improve the
quality of your reception.

DLS (Dynamic Label Segment): This is a scrolling message giving real­time information - song titles, news headlines, etc.

PROGRAMME TYPE: This describes the style of the programme being
broadcast. If the not available, the display will show <Programme Type>

MULTIPLEX (GROUP NAME)

A multiplex is a collection of radio
stations bundled and transmitted
together in a single frequency. There are
national and local multiplexes; local ones
contain stations specific to your area.

TIME AND DATE: Time and date are updated by the broadcasted
information. If no clock information is received, the display shows

<Time/Date>

BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or the amount by
which an audio signal can be compressed) depending on the type of
broadcast. This enables the amount of stations on a multiplex to be
maximised. Speech and News are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music
needs a higher Bit Rate for good sound fidelity.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

On some occasions you will see a ">" symbol after the name of the station.
This indicates that there are secondary services available. These secondary
services contain extra services that relate to the primary station.
