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.

Switch on
Press and release the ‘Power’ button on the front of the radio. The display will switch
on and your radio will return to the mode that it was last used in (DAB or FM). If you
were listening to a DAB station before then this station will be automatically selected.
Note: Always make sure that the aerial is fully extended and adjusted (a vertical position
is recommended), to ensure the maximum signal strength and the best possible sound
quality.
Switch o
1. Press and release the ‘Power’ button on the front of the radio, the time and date
will be displayed.
2. To completely switch o the radio and the display, switch o at the mains power
socket.
Adjusting the volume
1. Turn the left hand ‘Volume’ rotary control anti-clockwise to decrease the volume
and clockwise to increase the volume.
Changing DAB stations
1. If you are not already in DAB mode, Press and release the ‘DAB/FM’ button to go to
DAB mode.
2. Turn the right hand ‘Tune’ rotary control to scroll through the available stations.
When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed press the right hand
rotary control to ‘Select’. There will be a short delay whilst your DAB radio tunes to
your selected station.
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.
1. If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the ‘DAB/FM’ button to go to
DAB mode.
2. Press and release the ‘Scan’ button to begin a local search for stations. The display
will change to ‘Scanning...’. A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and
the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed. A local scan
takes approximately 10 seconds.

‘Menu’ button and then press the right hand rotary control to ‘Select’ a full scan.
Your radio will begin a wider, national and local scan. The display will change to
‘Scanning...’, A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number
of stations found during the scan will also be displayed. A national and local scan
takes approximately 1 minute but can take up to 3 minutes.
Manual tune
Using the manual tune feature you can select a specific digital radio channel frequency
and then manually adjust the aerial, or the location of the radio, to get the strongest
possible signal for that channel in your location.
1. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button and use the right hand rotary control to scroll
to ‘Manual tune’. Press the right hand rotary control to ‘Select’.
2. Turn the rotary ‘Tune’ control to scroll through the digital radio frequencies. Stop
when the frequency you would like to listen to is displayed and press the right
hand rotary control to ‘Select’.
3. An empty will appear on the second line of the display to indicate the minimum
signal strength for acceptable listening. After a few seconds, the row of solid
rectangles will 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.
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.
Prune DAB stations
You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot be received in your
area. These are listed with a ‘?’ prefix.
1. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button and use the right hand rotary control to scroll
to ‘Prune’. Press the right hand rotary control to ‘Select’.
2. ‘Prune <No> Yes’ is displayed. Use the right hand rotary control to scroll to ‘Yes’.
Press the rotary control to ‘Select’ and prune the station list. Stations with a ‘?’
prefix will now no longer be displayed. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button to
return to the station display.

Storing a DAB station preset
Your radio can store up to 10 DAB stations in its preset memories for instant access to
your favourite stations.
Note: When you store DAB radio station presets, these do not overwrite your FM
station presets.

to store the radio station to (1-10).
4. Press the rotary control to ‘Select’, the display will confirm ‘Preset X stored’, where
‘X’ is the number of the preset (1-10).
Note: If there is already an existing DAB station stored under a preset, it will be over
written when you store the new station.
Tune to a DAB preset station
In DAB mode:
1. Press and release the ‘Preset’ button. ‘Preset Recall 1’ is displayed and the name
or frequency of the station stored there, or ‘Empty’ if no previous station has been
stored.
2. Use the right hand rotary control to scroll to the Preset location and station that
you would like to listen to (1 - 10). Press the rotary control to ‘Select.’ The radio
will instantly tune to that station and begin to play.
Note: If no DAB station has been stored under the preset button, ‘Preset Empty’ will
be displayed, then the radio will revert to the previously selected radio station after
a few seconds.

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

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.
