Manual Tune
Choose the ‘Manual tune’ option from the
DAB Mode menu.
The ‘Manual tune’ selection screen allows you
to select a particular frequency to tune to.
The list of frequencies displayed is dependant

station number and frequency, the display

sounds for listening in noisy environments.
The DRC control is found in the DAB Mode

available in your area. To find them and
add them to your station list it is
necessary to perform either a ‘Local’ or
‘Full’ scan. Both operations can be
accessed via the DAB Mode menu.
A Local Scan performs a shorter scan of
only the ‘local’ ensemble range.
A Full Scan will take longer, but will cover
the complete DAB ensemble range.

Trouble-Shooting
DAB Digital Radio
Q. I hear a ‘burbling’ noise on some
stations.
A. If the signal strength is too low, a break-
up in reception can occur. This sound is
the result. Make sure that BLIK’s
antenna is fully extended and in an
upright position. If the problem persists,
move BLIK to another location or check
that you are in an area where reception
of this station is possible.
Visit: www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage
to check DAB coverage in your area.
Q. I get a ‘No stations available’ message?
A. Make sure that your antenna is fully
extended and vertical. Check the signal
strength and move BLIK to another
location if necessary.
Q. BLIK’s clock isn’t set.
A. BLIK needs to be able to pick-up a DAB
signal or have its clock set manually.
If BLIK can find a DAB station, it can
then set its clock.
Software Reset
In the unlikely event that BLIK freezes,
crashes, or does not respond to key
presses, it is possible to perform a software
reset to restore the original factory
settings. Simply press and hold the MENU
button for a period of 4 seconds and follow
on-screen prompts.
