Remote control battery replacement
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of your remote control by applying
pressure to the catch in the direction shown by the arrow and then
lifting off the cover.
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment by pressing the
right hand bottom corner of the battery so that the battery is released
from its position (see illustration). The battery can now be lifted out.
3. Replace the battery (CR2032 or equivalent) ensuring that the positive
side of the battery remains visible as the battery is inserted. Place the
battery under the lip in the bottom right hand corner then click into
place.
4. Close the battery cover by inserting the retaining lug first, then apply
pressure to the free end such that the catch latches the cover securely.
5. If the remote is not to be used for an extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Using the sound system for the first time
1. Place your sound system on a flat surface.
2. Fully extend the telescopic aerial. The aerial should be fully extended
and positioned vertically for optimum reception.
3. Plug the mains lead into the mains socket located on the back of your
sound system ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
4. Plug the other end of the mains lead into the wall socket and switch
on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting
the sound system to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the
sound system must remain accessible during normal use. In order to
disconnect the sound system from the mains completely, the mains
plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.
5. When your sound system is first switched on the clock display will
show 12:00 and the unit will enter standby mode. It will then scan for
DAB radio stations and when stations have been found the clock and
date should be set automatically. Note that the display will not show
any scanning message for this first scan.
6. If no stations have been found then the clock will not set. You may need
to relocate your sound system to a position giving better reception.
You should then carry out an auto-tune to find DAB stations. See DAB
Operation on page 10 and also Finding New Stations on page 13. The
clock will then be set from a DAB broadcast.
