Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compression to compensate for the differences in
the dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a station broadcasting
popular music may have a high level of compression applied since the emphasis is
on a constant high listening level. Where as a station broadcasting classical music
will have little or no compression as the listener requires all of the highs and lows in
the music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
DRC off = No compression applied
DRC high = Maximum compression applied (this is the default)
DRC low = Low compression applied
The best way to determine which of these settings suits you best is to experiment
with them on a variety of source material.
Press
the MENU button to access the menu.
Rotate the SELECT button until “DRC” is displayed.
Push the SELECT button to select.
Rotate the SELECT button to select between the three DRC values. The available
options appear on line 2 of the display. When the required DRC value is displayed
push the SELECT button to confirm.
You should be able to hear the difference in compression immediately.
Station Prune
The Station Prune function allows you to remove stations from the station list that are
not active or cannot be received. These stations usually appear in the display with a "?".
Press
the MENU button to access the menu.
Rotate the SELECT button until "Prune" is displayed.
Press the SELECT button to select.
Rotate the SELECT button to highlight either No or Yes
Press the SELECT button. If you have chosen to prune the station list, the
unwanted stations will be deleted.

WEEE
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the
framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances.
Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you and to us,
so please take care when using this DAB Radio.
It is strongly recommended that you follow the
listed guidelines in order to prevent possible
damage or loss of hearing.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous
loud sounds and will give the impression that the
volume has in fact been reduced. What seems
normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard
against this before your hearing adapts, set
the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear
comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is
irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears
indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable
listening level, do not increase the sound level.
General Safety
This DAB Radio has been designed and
manufactured to meet European safety standards,
but like any electrical equipment, care must be
taken if you are to obtain the best results and
safety is to be assured.
Do read these operating instructions before you
attempt to use the DAB Radio.
Do ensure that all electrical connections
(including the mains plug, extension leads and
interconnections between pieces of equipment)
are properly made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Switch off and remove the mains plug when
making or changing any connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt
about the installation, operation or safety of your
DAB Radio.
Don’t continue to operate the DAB Radio if you are
ever in doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way. Switch it off, withdraw the
plug from the mains and consult your dealer.
Don’t remove any fixed covers as this may expose
you to dangerous voltages.
Don’t leave the DAB Radio switched On when it is
unattended for long periods of time, unless it is
specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has a standby mode.
Make sure that other people in your household are
conversant with the DAB Radio.
Don’t obstruct the ventilation vents on the
DAB Radio, for example with curtains or soft
furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the
life of the product.
Don’t allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
rain or moisture.
