switch).
2. Plug the standard USB end of the charging cable into a
computer or other USB charging device.
3. Plug the earphones supplied into the headphone socket on
the end of the pocket radio. The earphones also work as the
radio aerial and so these need to be connected when you first
switch your radio on and it scans for DAB radio stations.
4. Switch the pocket radio on. When the radio has powered
up and has scanned for DAB stations. Press and release the
‘Select’ button until the battery charge status is displayed e.g.:
Battery 25.
Note: If the battery is completely exhausted, you will need to
wait a short while after it has been on charge, before the radio
will power on and you are able to check the battery status
information.
5. The pocket radio battery is fully charged when ‘Battery 100’ is
displayed.

Check that your Radio is in DAB mode. The first time you use
the pocket radio or if the station list is empty, your radio 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.
Changing DAB stations

1. Press and release the ‘Tune-’ or ‘Tune+’ buttons to scroll through
the available stations in the station list.
2. When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed
press and release the ‘Select’ button. 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, e.g.: if you go on holiday, then it’s
also a good idea to carry out a manual scan.
Note: Plug the earphones supplied into the headphone socket on
the end of the pocket radio. The earphones also work as the radio
aerial and so these need to be connected when you scan for DAB
radio stations.
In DAB mode:
1. Press and hold the ‘Select’ button to enter the menu. ‘<Switch
To FM>’ is displayed.
