Introducing your View Quest Retro DAB+

Welcome from the Retro DAB+ Design Team

Hello and welcome to your Retro DAB+. We are View Quest – an award-winning British company
determined to excel in technical and aesthetic design. Our goal for Retro DAB+ is to create a feature
rich product that not only sounds exceptional but looks fantastic too. Wrapped in quality leather
with a stylish yet strong carry handle, the Retro DAB+ has a retro feel and style, but is anything
but retro in its capabilities. Featuring DAB / DAB+, FM radio, iPod/iPhone dock and auxiliary
input the Retro DAB+ can cater for all your audio needs and look great at the same time.

What can my Retro DAB+ do apart from look fab?

Here’s a brief run-down of your Retro DAB+’s capabilities. Everything is explained fully later in this guide.

iPod/iPhone dock

Play an iPhone or iPod with either a 30-pin or Lightning connector. Your music will never
have sounded so good, and your iPhone or iPod will charge at the same time.

DAB/DAB+ receiver

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is the next big thing in radio. Clarity, station choice and
ease of tuning are often cited as benets. There are two versions, DAB and DAB+. Your
Retro DAB+ works with either. You can store up to 10 DAB/DAB+ stations as presets.

FM Radio

DAB isn’t everywhere, so there’s an FM radio in your Retro DAB+ that means you can listen
wherever DAB or FM radio is available. You can store up to 10 FM stations as presets.

Auxiliary connection

Lets you plug in and listen to an external audio source so your older devices aren’t left out.

Dual Alarms

Wake up to your favourite radio station, favourite tracks, or a beeper. Or two.

you from activities that require attention to safety.

• DO NOT Use equipment that is not working normally or you suspect may be faulty or damaged.

• DO NOT leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specically stated that it is designed

for unattended operation. Switch o using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family
