The Pinell Go radio works in three modes:
DAB radio, FM radio and line input ( AUX ).
When you plug an audio cable into the audio
input, the Go automatically switches to AUX
mode. Unplug the cable to go back to radio.
When no audio cable is connected, hold the
PINELL button to switch between DAB and FM.
Each mode has a dedicated menu called a Mode
Menu. Press MENU to access this.
While navigating any menu, press MENU to
move one step back or exit.
General settings that apply to all modes can be
adjusted in the System Menu. You can reach the
System Menu from any Mode Menu.

8A few words about the battery
The Pinell Go is equipped with a powerful
battery which should give you at least 24 hours
of real playback time. In some cases more.
Feel free to leave the radio plugged into
your power outlet at all times. We’ve built
in intelligent battery management that
automatically stops charging when the battery
is full. The radio will thereafter run directly from
wall power.
If your battery is completely exhausted, it’ll
take about 2-3 hours to reach a 75% charge. To
protect your battery and to optimize its total
lifespan, it’ll take longer to fill the remaining
quarter of your battery. A total of 12 hours is
usually needed to charge the battery from empty
to completely full.

If the internal battery has been removed, a
battery icon with an “X” will be displayed.
When the battery is emtpy, the icon
will blink for a few minutes before
the radio shuts off.
The power cord icon is always
displayed when the radio is
connected to a power outlet.
During playback, the
battery indicator shows
remaining power.
Each of the four bars
represent approx. 25%
of battery life.
0 % 50 % 75 % 100 % 25 %
A filled battery symbol
is displayed when a
complete charge has
been reached. This
means charging has
stopped.

10 External audio
Connect your music player to the Pinell Go to
listen to your favourite music through the radio.
When you connect a standard “mini-jack” audio
cable the radio automatically switches to AUX
for immediate playback from your device.

DAB means digital radio, and in several countries
it’s replacing the FM broadcast system. If you
don’t have DAB reception where you live right
now, chances are you soon will.

stations will be stored in your station list in
alphabetical order. No manual searching
is required.
Switch between DAB
and FM by holding the
“PINELL” button.

Rescan all stations: DAB stations
are available in certain areas. So
if you bring your Go to a new
location, the stored list of stations
may not be accurate. To fix this,
choose “Rescan all stations” to
refresh your station list to include
any newly available stations and
remove all unavailable stations.
Sleep: The sleep function will
power off the radio after the period
of time you choose. Options are: 15,

Safety precautions
& recommendations
We recommend to switch off
the radio when not in use.
Don’t leave the radio within
the reach of small children.
Only use the power supply that came with your radio – or an
original replacement provided by your Pinell dealer. To prevent
damage to your radio and avoid the risk of electric shock, make
sure the power supply is not damaged and is connected according
to the information given in this manual and on the power supply.
You should also make sure the power supply is plugged into an
outlet that’s easy to reach. If your radio is damaged, please unplug
it from the mains power.
Make sure to place the radio
more than 1.5m away from
any water source.
The apparatus1shall not
be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects
filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
1 We’re sorry for using such complicated
language. Unfortunately, it’s mandatory by
law. It’s just a fancy way of saying ‘Radio’.
Don’t use your radio in very
damp conditions, such as in
a small bathroom with poor
ventilation. Make sure the radio
is not directly subjected to
water. Any contact with liquid
may cause irreparable damage.
If liquid enters the radio,
immediately disconnect it from
the power outlet and contact
your Pinell dealer.
Keep the radio away
from heat sources such as
radiators, candles, lamps, etc.
To avoid overheating, do not
place the radio in a tightly
confined space. Make sure to
leave at least 10cm of free air
on all sides.

Disposal of Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment
This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates
that this product should not be treated as household waste.
Instead it should be handed over to a suitable collection
point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By
ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and human
health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste
handling of this product. The recycling of materials will help to
conserve natural resources. For more detailed information about
recycling of this product, please contact your local council office,
your household waste disposal service or the shop where you

The use of headphones at high volume can
cause hearing damage. Sound perception can
be misleading. Over time, your hearing “comfort
level” gets used to higher volumes. After prolonged
listening, what may seem a “normal” volume to you, may in fact
be too high and harmful to your hearing. To protect yourself from
this risk, set the volume to a safe level and do not increase it
subsequently. To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen
at high volume levels for long periods.
To prevent damage to your radio and avoid the risk of explosion,
only use the battery pack supplied with your radio. Or an
original replacement battery provided by your Pinell dealer.
We provide 6 months warranty on the built-in battery.
For optimal audio quality,
use your radio at ambient
temperatures between +5°C
and +40°C.
Never open the radio. It
contains no user-replaceable
or -repairable parts, and you
run the risk of electric shock.
