IMPORTANT REMARKS ON DAB and FM:
•Pull out the antenna completely before scanning.
•On first use, if no DAB or FM stations are preset, the radio will do a scan after
switching to DAB or FM mode.
•The radio can store up to 20 DAB and 20 FM stations.
•Signal strength can be reduced in very built-up areas, in basements, and inside
buildings with walls made of materials such as thick stone or reinforced concrete.
Placing the radio near a window can help, and reception may be better upstairs
than downstairs.
•If you have moved your radio to another location e.g. go on holiday, do a local scan
before using it.
•Some areas may not be covered by DAB+ signal. To make sure that DAB+ coverage
exists in your area, check on the Internet about information on DAB+ reception in your
area.
•As additional DAB+ stations and services regularly become available, carry out a scan
every now and then to get an updated station list stored in memory of your radio.
•If an existing DAB station is already stored under the chosen preset number, it will be
overwritten when storing the new DAB one. When storing DAB radio station presets,
these do not overwrite your FM station presets. Both remarks can be also applied to
FM stations.
