Introduction
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) technology allows many more radio stations compared to FM. DAB transmissions do away with problems of hiss and fade that plague AM and FM broadcasts and are less likely to be aected by adverse weather conditions or other sources of interference. In addition to speech and music DAB transmissions carry high levels of data - far greater than the limited RDS information available on FM stations.
Unlike FM, DAB is broadcast on many frequencies. Many countries in Europe, including the UK use Band III (174-230 MHz); others, France for example, use the L-Band (1452­1492 MHz). Germany uses both bands.
Your radio can tune Band III. Countries in Europe that use Band III include: Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Your radio will tune stations in all these countries.
Your radio cannot receive French or German stations broadcasting in the L-Band though FM ser vices are available all over Europe.
Being digital, DAB transmissions can have a wider frequency range and greater dynamics than that available with FM technology.
FM reception is available on your system for use in those locations where there is no usable DAB service.
A headphone output is provided for personal listening.

PREPARATION FOR USE
240 mm
PROTECTIVE FILM
Some of the panels on this unit are protected by plastic lm for protection in shipping. Remove all of this lm and any tape securing it before use.
NOTE: Damage may result if lm or tape is left in place on the sliding front panel and power is connected to the unit.
PLACEMENT
Placement on a table or shelf:
Place the unit on a sturdy table or shelf where it cannot get knocked over and where there is a clear line of sight to the remote handset.
Make sure that there is a clearance of 10cm (4 inches) above the unit for ventilation.
Optional wall-mounting:
The MC-121IDAB system has back panel xings for optional wall-mounting.
If you plan to wall-mount the system, you will need to x t wo screws into the wall.
Before xing the screws, plan the location carefully, ensuring that mains power is accessible.
Once you have planned the location, x two screws (not supplied) into the wall to support the main unit, spaced by 240mm. Before mounting the screws, check the t of the heads in the back panel keyhole slots to ensure that the screw heads will not pull out of the slots.
Use a spirit level to ensure that the screws will be level and check that the unit will be xed at the height you require.
When you have mounted the screws, mount the unit carefully onto the screw heads. Check that the mounting is secure before use.
NOTE:- Most walls will require the use of wall-plugs when mounting the xing screws. If you are in any doubt concerning the type of xing required or the security of wall-mountings, consult a building professional.
Important notes for wall-mounting:
Tesco accepts no liability for damages caused by incorrect • assembly, installation or improper use.
Ensure that the wall has sucient strength to hold the • weight of the system.
If there is any doubt regarding the condition or the load • bearing of the wall, please consult a specialist from the building trade.
The wall xings used must be suitable for the type of wall • (materials, thickness, condition), so that the maximum load bearing of the wall can be guaranteed.
Ensure that no electrical cables, water pipes or gas pipes • are located within the wall.
Before mounting, check the location of the nearest • mains socket.
Wear safety g• oggles when drilling.
Keep small parts out of reach from children.•
