Using the AC adaptor
The Sports DAB features a built-in 1800mAH
rechargeable Lithium battery to power your radio.
Before operating the radio for the first time, ensure
that you fully charge the radio.
1. Place your radio on a flat surface. Carefully pull
back the protection cover and insert the adaptor
plug into the DC in socket on the right hand side
of your radio.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains
socket outlet. If the radio is switched on the
battery indicator will become animated showing
charging in progress.
3. The radio will begin charging the built-in battery.
Charging time will take 4 hours with the radio
switched off and 10 hours if the radio is switched
on.
4. The battery power icon on the LCD display will
flash whilst charging and stop flashing when
the radio is fully charged . Reduced power,
distortion, 'stuttering' sounds or the battery power
indicator low are all signs that the battery
needs to be recharged.

Note: The mains adaptor which is supplied with your
radio is a high efficiency type, designed to minimise
energy consumption, whether the radio is playing,
charging its battery or switched off. Do not use any
other mains adaptor in place of the unit supplied.
Such use will invalidate your guarantee.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as
the means of connecting the radio to the mains
supply. The mains socket used for the radio must
remain accessible during normal use. In order to
disconnect the radio from the mains completely,
the mains adaptor should be removed from the
mains socket outlet completely.
The AC adaptor
should be
disconnected
from the mains
supply and the
radio when not
in use.

Keylock function
The Keylock function is used to prevent
unintentional operation of your radio.
1. Set the Lock switch located on the top of
your radio to the 'Lock' position. If the radio
is switched on 'Key locked' will appear on the
display. The On/Off and all other buttons will
be disabled, this will prevent accidental opera-
tion when your radio is packed in a suitcase
or travel bag.
2. To release the Lock switch, move the lock
switch to the 'Unlock' position.

Navigation
This page describes the basic means of
controlling your Sports DAB. Instructions for
each operating mode are given in the later
sections of this book.
1. Press and holding in the Jog wheel will access
the main menus.
2. Many operations require the user to make
a selection from the menus. Push the Jog
wheel Up or Down to highlight the desired
menu item and then click the Jog wheel to
select that item. Arrows are used to show that
there are more items in that menu.
3. If an error is made or you wish to go to the
previous screen there is a "BACK" menu item in
most menus. Push the Jog wheel Up or Down
until "Back" is highlighted on the display and
click the Jog wheel to select. After a period of
inactivity the display will revert to the previous
information display.
