Where to put your radio
It is important that you consider carefully in advance where your radio will be situated
and make sure that it is:
on a flat and stable surface
• within 1.8 metres of a power socket
• where you can fully extend the telescopic aerial
• away from bright sunlight or heat sources, such as a radiator
• not in a humid or very damp place such as a bathroom
Setting up
1. Connect the mains power lead into the socket on the bottom left of the back
of the radio and fully extend the radio aerial in a vertical position to obtain the
maximum signal strength.
Note: Only use the power supply provided. Using an unauthorised power supply
will invalidate your guarantee and may damage your radio.
2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains power wall socket and switch on.
‘Welcome to Digital Radio’ will be displayed.
3. Press and release the ‘Power’ button on the front of the radio. The first time you
switch your radio on it will automatically begin to scan for DAB radio stations. A
progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found
during the scan will also be displayed. When the scan is complete your radio will
select the first available station and begin to play. Stations are listed in numerical
and then alphabetical order by default.
4. Note: The DAB radio station list is stored in the memory and so the next time you
switch your radio on, the station search does not take place. It is possible to scan
manually for stations. Please see page 6.
5. Inserting the batteries (optional). Before installing the batteries (not included)
please ensure that the Radio is unplugged from the mains power supply.
6. On the back of the radio, push the two tabs on the battery compartment down
and remove the battery cover. Insert 4 x 1.5V LR14 C-size batteries, making sure
to note the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ markings and position the batteries the correct way around.
Replace the battery cover, making sure it ‘clicks’ shut.
Note: For battery operation, please switch o the mains adaptor and remove the
mains power plug from the back of the radio.

Scanning for DAB stations
With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available so it’s a
good idea to carry out a manual scan every now and then to make sure that you have
the most up to date station listing stored within the memory of your radio. If you have
moved your radio to another location, eg: if you go on holiday, then it’s also a good
idea to carry out a manual scan.

Note: You may need to adjust the aerial or move your radio to get the strongest
possible signal.
4. Continue to press and release the ‘Menu’ button to step back through the menu
and return to the station display.

DAB display information
When listening to a DAB station you can change the information that will appear on
the second line of the display. There are several dierent types of information that
are sent by the broadcaster.
• Dynamic Label Segment (DLS)
This is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster. Information could
be the name of an artist or music title, DJ’s name, contact details for the radio
station etc.
• Signal Strength
An empty will appear on the second line of the display to indicate the minimum
signal strength for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicate the
actual signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to
the right the row of solid rectangles will be.
• Program Type (PTY)S
Such as ‘Rock’, ‘Pop‘, Talk’ or ‘News’
• Multiplex Name
Displays the broadcasting area and collection of radio stations on this frequency
eg: BBC National DAB, Digital 1 Network.
Channel and Frequency
eg: 12B 225.64 MHz
• Signal error
This is displayed as a number between 0-99. It would not be possible to
satisfactorily listen to a ratio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above. Try
adjusting the aerial or relocating your radio to improve reception.
• Signal information
The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.
• Time
Supplied by the broadcaster.
• Date
Supplied by the broadcaster.
1. Press and release the ‘Info’ button repeatedly to move through the display options.

10
Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB mode:
The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each radio
station and may be dierent for the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or
classical music or a chat show. The dynamic range control signal is transmitted in
parallel with the audio signal for each programme and with your radio you can use this
control signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the dierence between the
loudest and quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal. Changing the dynamic
range can aect the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the programme that you
hear so that it will be more suited to your listening conditions and your own personal
listening requirements. e.g. in a noisy environment, where quiet sounds might be
swamped, setting the compression to maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds, whilst
keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.
There are 3 levels of compression:
• DRC O - no compression. This is the default setting.
• DRC Low - medium compression.
• DRC High - maximum compression.
1. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button.
2. Use the right hand rotary control to scroll to ‘DRC’ and press to ‘Select’. The
current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ next to it.
3. Use the right hand rotary control to scroll through the 3 compression level options
available and press the right hand rotary control to ‘Select’. Press and release the
‘Menu’ button to return to the station display.

11
FM Radio Mode
When your radio is in FM mode it can receive Radio Data System or ‘RDS’ information
if this is being transmitted by the broadcaster. RDS information will often include the
station name, detail about the programme and the current time.
If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the radio o then this station
will be automatically selected when you switch the radio back on.
Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial on the back of the radio is fully extended and adjusted
before you attempt to tune to an FM station (a vertical position is recommended). This
will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when the radio begins to
scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound quality.
Tuning to an FM station
If you are not already in FM mode, press and release the ‘DAB/FM’ button to go to FM
mode.
1. Press and release the ‘Scan’ button. The Radio will scan until it finds the next
station where it will stop and show the frequency, or RDS information, if it is
available.
2. Use the right hand rotary control to fine tune each frequency in 0.05MHz steps.
Note: If reception is still poor adjust the position of the aerial or try moving the
radio to another location.
Changing the scan setting
In FM mode:
1. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button. ‘Scan setting’ is displayed. Press the right
hand rotary control to ‘Select’. There are now two dierent options to choose
from:
• Strong stations
The scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is received which should
also result in a better audio quality. It is possible that the station you are
scanning for may be missed using this option.
• All stations
The scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength is poor.
2. Use the right hand rotary control to choose from the two options available and
press to ‘Select’.
