Getting started
You’ve unpacked the box - here’s how to quickly get up and running using your EVOKE-2XT.
1Fully extend the telescopic aerial, connect the mains adapter and plug in to your power supply or fit six size ‘C’
batteries or the ChargePack C6 available from PURE.
The LCD lights up and the display shows ‘PURE EVOKE-2 XT’ and a progress bar on the bottom line indicates
the progress of an autotune to find the DAB stations available in your area. The stations found will be stored in
alphanumeric order and the first station on the list will be selected.
2Adjust the Volume and Tone knob if required.
3Turn the Tune knob to see all the stations available and push to change to anotherstation.
4 Press the Info button and repeat to cycle through the optional DAB display modes.
5Press the DAB/FM/AUX button to change to FM mode and listen to FM stations and again to listen to a
connected auxiliary device such as an iPod, CD or MiniDisc player.
Switching on and off
To switch on your EVOKE-2XT press the Standby button.
To switch your EVOKE-2XT from on to standby press the Power button. In standby state your EVOKE-2XT uses a very
small amount of power.
Note To switch off your EVOKE-2XT completely unplug the power adapter. Your preset stations and other settings will be
saved.

5
Using DAB
To listen to digital radio stations press the DAB/FM/AUX button until you see the DAB icon on screen.
If this is the first time you have switched to DAB, you hear the first station on the list, otherwise
you hear the last station you were listening to.
Changing stations
You can change stations using the Tune knob or by selecting a numbered preset button.
1. Turn the Tune knob to scroll the list and find the station you want.
The current station is shown at the top of the screen.
2. Push the Tune knob to change the station.
A station with ‘?’ before its name may not be currently available either because you have lost
reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. You can use the ‘Trim stn. list ’ option
to remove them from the station list, see page 8.
Using presets
The numbered buttons enable you to assign up to six DAB radio stations to presets for easy
one-touch access. You can also automatically transfer your six favourite stations to presets,
see Station order on page 7.
You can store a station to a preset while listening to it or when you see the station name
at the bottom of the screen while scrolling through the station list. Press and hold down a
numbered button to store the station under that number. This will overwrite any existing DAB
preset stored under this number.
When you save a station as a preset, the station name shows the preset number next to it on
the station list. To select a preset press the relevant numbered button.

software. Upgrades may be issued to provide enhanced functions or improve performance.
Register your product and include an e-mail address to receive notification of software
updates or visit our website at www.pure.com/support. To exit the software upgrade menu
press the Menu button again.

15
Using batteries
As an alternative to mains power you can use six size ‘C’ alkaline or rechargeable batteries
or use the PURE ChargePAK™ C6 rechargeable battery pack. When using batteries or a
ChargePAK the Battery Charge monitor icon on the screen gives an indication of the charge
remaining in the batteries.
To switch to battery supply remove the power adapter plug from the rear of the unit.
Using a ChargePAK™
The PURE ChargePAK C6 is the easiest option if you want to use your EVOKE-2XTaway from
mains power frequently. ChargePAK is a rechargeable battery pack which plugs into the
socket in your EVOKE-2XT battery compartment. Whenever your EVOKE-2XTis connected to
a mains supply the ChargePAK will be charging. A complete charge should take around 10
hours. You can safely leave the ChargePAK in your radio so it is always ready to use. For more
details on or to purchase a PURE ChargePAK C6, contact your nearest PURE dealer, visit the
shop on our website at www.pure.com or call the PURE order line on 0845 045 1122.
Note After charging your ChargePAK can feel warm to the touch, this is completely normal.
Using batteries
If you use rechargeable batteries (NiMh or NiCd), connecting the unit to the mains will not
recharge the batteries. Use a separate charger such as the BC-CD6 battery charger available
from PURE to recharge your batteries. Rechargeable batteries do not provide as much power
as alkaline batteries, and therefore your EVOKE-2XT will not give you the same battery life
on rechargeable as using alkaline batteries. We recommend high capacity rechargeables
(3500mAh or greater).

Hints and Tips
(<</>>) Secondary DAB services
Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain
times. At the time of writing not many secondary services are available. If a station has secondary services available, the station shows
‘>>’ next to its name in the station list and the secondary service appears next to the station in the list. A secondary service has a ‘<<’
before its name in the station list.
(?) Inactive or unavailable DAB stations
Inactive or unavailable stations are those which appear on the station list but are not currently available because either you are outside
the broadcast area, have lost reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. Unavailable stations have a ‘?’ before their name on
the station list. If you select a station which has this symbol, EVOKE-2XT returns to the last station you were listening to.
I hear a ‘burbling’ sound on some DAB stations
Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if the signal strength is too low. If that
happens, a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To help reduce this, check that your aerial is fully extended and upright. If the
problem persists try moving your radio or repositioning your aerial using manual tuning.
Display says ‘No stations available’
Check that your aerial is fully extended. Use Autotune to search for stations. Use manual tuning to adjust your aerial or radio position.
Clock shows the wrong time
This may happen if the DAB multiplex you are tuned to broadcasts an incorrect time signal, try tuning to a station in another multiplex.
My radio won’t switch on
Check that you have charged batteries/ChargePAK inserted or a mains supply connected. If you have batteries in your unit and mains
power has been lost remove the power lead from your EVOKE-2XT to use battery power.
Resetting your radio
Resetting your EVOKE-2XTremoves all presets, stored stations and favourite station settings and resets all options to defaults. To reset:
1. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds. The screen shows ‘Press Tune to confirm reset’.
2. Push the Tune knob to confirm the reset or press no buttons to cancel the reset.
