Evolution
The story behind Bug TOO and DAB digital radio
by Wayne Hemingway

Bug TOO
Bug TOO is one seriously cool collaboration between HemingwayDesign
- the founders of award winning label Red or Dead and acclaimed
designers of all things affordable from wallpapers through to housing
estates, and PURE - the pioneers
of DAB Digital Radio behind the successful EVOKE-1.
Bug TOO may look cool on your coffee table but it also performs (as you would
expect from men in white coats who have stroked their pointy beards over this ‘til their chins
were sore) and gives radio clarity and a choice of stations that will make you want to take your old
FM/AM units down to your local Cats Protection League charity shop.
A Concise History of Radio
Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831, then his mate Alexander G Bell
came up with the telephone a year later. In the vintage year 1877, Thomas A Edison recorded the
first sound... it was “Mary had a little lamb” and it was a lot more pleasing to the ears than the
entire output of Pop Idol and X Factor.
In 1900 a bloke called Reginald Fessenden used his trusty spark
generator to send the human voice a mile, in 1901 Marconi flew his
kite and topped that with the first transatlantic radio transmission.
Morse code followed then not much happened apart from Radio
Caroline sinking in 1980 and someone called The Hairy Cornflake
on Radio 1 making a daft record about CB’ers.
But then came DAB - Digital Audio Broadcasting.
BugTOO... ooooh, aaah
EVOKE-1...boxybutgood
Mr Marconi -this radio’ll never take off
Caroline goes down

DAB
To a fisherman a Dab is a flounder
To a lover of northern British chip shops a Dab is a
large slice of potato dipped in batter and deep fried.
To you, the purchaser of this fine piece of design technology DAB is
Digital Audio Broadcasting. Listening to the radio whilst holding your rod and
eating fried potato will never be the same again.
FM and AM are analogue radio signals and it doesn’t take much to interfere with the signal, just
little things like mountains, bad weather and high rise buildings can ruin that moment when England
win the world cup. However, if you are sat listening to your Bug TOO in South Shields and someone suddenly
builds a skyscraper, a tornado comes in off the North Sea and a volcano creates a mountain the size of Everest near
the village of Cleadon then listening to DJ TranceMaster mixing a Fat One in a dancehall stylee will be just like you are
there strutting your stuff in the disco.
Reception on your Bug TOO remains crystal clear because DAB uses obstacles, i.e. the South Shields Erotic Gherkin
Tower, the Twister and the newly formed Geordie Alps as reflectors creating multipath reception conditions to optimise
receiver sensitivity. DAB automatically selects the strongest regional transmitter and gives you digital quality without
hiss, crackle and pop.
Furthermore DAB radios can carry text and soon pictures and even video on their displays. Imagine
lyrics being shown on the screen so you can sing along to all your favourite hits like Atmosphere by
Russ Abbot. All together now “Atmosphere, I love a party with...”
As well as music having digital quality, the spoken word comes over as clear as a bell. The huge
variety of radio stations available on your DAB set are identified by the station’s name. You don’t
have to remember any big numbers with a decimal point. The name of the station appears on the
screen and you simply scroll through them to find the one you want. I know that many of you may miss your
knob twiddling but take it from us, scrolling is the new knob twiddling.

Bug TOO Behaviour
Understanding Bug TOO and making it do what you want

12
Listening to DAB
Born to be DAB . Listening to DAB is what your Bug TOO was made for. This bit tells you how Bug TOO works when
listening to DAB and what you can do with it.
Changing stations
Finding stations is much easier with DAB than with your old FM/AM set. When you first
switch on Bug TOO it quickly finds all the DAB stations available in your area and puts
them in a handy station list.
To change stations, flick through the station list on the bottom of the screen by rocking
the navigation button up or down, then press the centre of the navigator button when
you see the one you want.
Alternatively, you can fill the screen with the station list while you flick through the
stations, press Menu, select Live radio and change the station as above.
Autotuning makes life easy
If you take your Bug TOO travelling or move it around the house you can re-tune your
Bug TOO to update the list of stations. Push the Menu button, select DAB options and
choose Autotune and your Bug TOO will find and store all the stations for you including
any new stations you can get in your area.
Pump up the volume
To turn the volume up or down, rock the navigation button right or left. The volume
icon on the screen shows the volume level.
Rock then press to change stations

Changing what’s shown on screen
Show and Tell time. Bug TOO has 5 DAB info modes so you can change what you see
on screen. Press the Info button and repeat to choose between the 5 info modes. Some
of the modes have more than one option, shown by an arrow at the bottom right of the
screen. Push the shortcut button next to the arrow to choose between the options for
that mode (shown below with arrows).
1 Scrolling text Scrolling text broadcast by some stations.
2 Multiplex Name of the multiplex the current station belongs to. Multiplexes
are groups of stations broadcast by a single operator.

Using the EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)
What’s on next? Who is that dodgy DJ? EPG reveals all... The EPG provides programme schedules and information for
those DAB stations that broadcast it, much like the EPG on satellite or digital TV broadcasts. You can use the EPG to find
out what’s on today and in the next few days and if you see a programme you want to record or automatically tune to you
can set a timed event directly from the EPG. To set up timed events manually, see page 25.

EPG screen
EPG icon on station list and
at top of screen
If a station belongs to a multiplex (set of stations grouped for broadcast) which has
EPG available, an EPG icon is displayed at the top of the screen and also next to the
stations on the station list.
Programme schedules are displayed when sufficient information has been received.
Depending on the amount of information and quality of your reception it may take a few
minutes from when you first tune to a station.
If you use an SD card, it can be used to store the EPG information, enabling you to
switch between stations on different multiplexes without losing the guide.
Note Updates are occasionally saved to the card. While saving you see a message and
temporarily cannot use buttons. To cancel saving of an update, while in progress, hold
down the Menu button.
Without an SD card fitted, the information is lost if you change multiplex and you will
need to wait until the information is refreshed. See EPG storage options on page 19 for
details of setting EPG options including whether to use an SD card.
Displaying the EPG
To view the EPG push the navigation button or press Menu and select Programme guide.
The current day’s listing for the current station is displayed showing programme start
times and names.

15
Note Due to the way EPG information is broadcast there may be a delay in listings
arriving for particular days. Navigate around the guide, as described below, to see
what is available.
To exit the EPG press Menu or select a current programme.
Navigating the EPG
You can move around the EPG as follows:
Top/middle left shortcut buttons Listings for next/previous days.
Top/middle right shortcut buttons Listings for next/previous stations.
Rock Navigation up or down Browse through day’s listings.
Info More info on highlighted programme.
Rock navigator button up/down to scroll.
Push Info again to exit.
Using the EPG to set up a timed event
You can use the EPG to quickly set up a timed recording* or automatically tune in to a
programme. For more information on timed events, see page 25.
Scroll through the programme list and push the centre of the navigator button or press
the Record button to select a programme and select one of the following options:
Save to SD card Tunes in and saves the selected programme to SD card.
Ensure you insert an SD card with space for the recording.
Send to digital out Tunes in and sends the programme to the Digital Out
socket, useful if you want to connect an external recorder.
Tune in Tunes in to the programme automatically.
Cancel Returns to the EPG without taking any action.

ReVu – pause and rewind radio
Hold it there, I want that track! Bug TOO includes a handy ReVu feature which lets you
pause and rewind live radio. It works like this:
Bug TOO constantly stores audio and text from the station you are tuned to in its
memory. The amount stored depends on how long you have been listening to that
station and the data rate of the broadcast. Using ReVu you can access this stored audio
and pause or rewind live radio over short periods (Around 4 minutes at 128 kbps).
Once the memory is full, it keeps adding to the memory but starts to overwrite the
start of the stored audio and text.
To pause and replay live radio
The phone goes in the final minutes of extra time!!! Aaargh, don’t panic - pause, and
when you hang up, carry on from where you left off. Goooaal.
Push the ReVu button. The display shows PAUSED and the clock shows how far behind
the live broadcast you are.
Push the ReVu button again to start replaying the stored audio and text from the where
you left off. The clock stops counting, showing that you are now listening that many
minutes/seconds behind real time. You can listen in this way for as long as you like, or
press the navigator button to return to the live broadcast.
To rewind radio
I love that song!! I’ll just rewind back to the start and groove on down again.
Hold down the ReVu button, or if already paused, press and release the ReVu button.
Rock the navigator button down or use the Rewind and Fast forward shortcut buttons
shown on screen to move back to the start of the track and let go to start replaying.
If you really like the track and want to record it to SD card* at this point press Record,
see page 18 for details.

To see the scrolling text or other display options while you are using ReVu, push the
Info button as normal. The rewind and fast forward controls are added to the other five
info modes while you are using ReVu, see page 13 for details of other info modes.
You can also show the rewind and fast forward controls by pressing a shortcut button.
You can listen like this for as long as you like, or push the navigator button to return to
the live broadcast.
textSCAN™ - pause and control scrolling text
Stop right there! I need that telephone number . textSCAN lets you to pause and then
move backwards or forwards within scrolling text on your radio. Ideal for copying down
a phone number or web address at your own speed.
1. Push and hold the Info button for around 3 seconds while viewing scrolling text on
screen. The scrolling text pauses.
2. Use the bottom two shortcut buttons to move the text left or right or push Info
again to restart the scrolling text.
Storing and recalling presets
All that rocking tiring you out? Store up to 10 of your favourite stations as presets
which you can get at quickly using the shortcut buttons on Bug TOO’s head.
Push any but the bottom right shortcut button or set the info mode to show the presets
as described on page 13. This shows the first five presets on the screen. If you like,
display the second set of five presets by pushing the bottom right shortcut button.
To store a preset - Hold down the shortcut button you want to store the current station
under until the station name appears. The preset is stored.
To recall a preset - Push the shortcut button next to the preset you want to listen to.

Recording radio to a memory card
That’s a keeper. Capture that special track and take it with you on a little bit of plastic.
You can record radio* to an SD (Secure Digital) card which you put into the SD card slot
in the rear of your Bug TOO. The amount you can record depends on the size of your
card and the quality of the audio being broadcast.
Note Bug TOO records files to SD cards in MP2 format. You may need to use a PC to
convert these files to a different format if you wish to use them in another device that
uses SD cards. Check www.pure.com for information on conversion software.
1. Push your card in the slot on the rear with the gold pins facing down and forwards.
2. Press the Record button to start recording. You see a record icon on the screen.
3. You see a message giving the time, date and filename that the recording has been
saved under. The filename is made up of the month, date and time. E.g. 10141020.
mp2 means that the recording was made on October the 14th, starting at 10:20
am. The recording also stores the station and multiplex name. DAB recordings
are saved in a special TRACKS folder on your SD card so they can be found easily.
NoteThe TRACKS folder is automatically created when you use the record function.
See Playing MP3s, on page 27, for more details of card types and how to play back
recordings.
You can also record DAB radio in the following ways using your Bug TOO:
Record* direct from the EPG to SD card or record to an external recorder connected to
the Digital out socket - page 15
Set up a timed event to record a set time (with optional repeats) to SD card or record to
an external recorder connected to the Digital out socket - page 25
