showing the progress of the scan and the number of
radio stations that have been found so far. When the
scan is complete, the Classic DAB Radio will select
the rst available station – stations are listed in
alphanumeric order.

5 Troubleshooting
Problem What to do
No power Check the mains plug is connected
to the mains power socket and is
switched on. Press the STANDBY
button to wake the radio from
Standby mode.
No sound from a LINE IN input The volume level is too low. Increase
using the volume control on both the
secondary audio device and on your
radio.
The sound is distorted from a LINE IN
input
The secondary audio source volume
is too high, decrease the volume level.
Static interference/Burbling sound
when listening to the radio
This is caused by poor reception.
Adjust the aerial or if that fails try
moving the Classic DAB Radio to a
different location. Check that you do
not have other electrical equipment
too close to your radio cause
interference.
Bluetooth sound is interrupted or
distorted
The unit is too close to other electrical
devices. Re-locate the Classic DAB
Radio at least 1 metre away from
other electrical appliances to avoid
interference.
Check the distance between the
connected audio device and the
Classic DAB Radio, it should be 10
metres or less (33 feet or less).
If possible, turn off other nearby
Bluetooth devices or disable their
Bluetooth functionality.
