9. Before you start
Position the device on a stable, flat surface and do not place any heavy objects on it.
9.1 Wire antenna
A wire antenna (17) can be found on the rear of the device. It is wound up on delivery. Unwind it
completely to improve the reception on the radio.
9.2 Connecting the power adapter
Connect the connector of the power adapter (B) supplied into the power adapter connection (20)
on the back of the radio. Plug the power adapter (B) into an easily accessible mains socket. “SYNC”
appears at the bottom of the display (1). When it is first started up and after a reset, the device
automatically displays the correct time, then scans for all available stations in the DAB and FM
frequency bands and saves them. This process may take a few minutes.
Note: To start this process after resetting the device, unplug the power plug and then plug it in again
after the display has turned off completely.
If there RF interference or the reception conditions are not favourable, e.g. in buildings
with thick walls, the reception of the time signal via DAB+ or RDS can be impaired or even
impossible. In this case, you can set the time manually as described in the chapter “Manual
time setting”.
The default settings and saved radio stations are stored permanently and automatically
restored after a power cut.
The time is updated via DAB+ or RDS after a power cut.
10. Getting started
10.1 Display lighting
You can adjust the display brightness to your needs in 3 steps. To do this, press the [SNOOZE] button
(10) multiple times until the display is the brightness you want.
Press and hold the [SNOOZE] button (10) for approx. 2 seconds to switch the display (1) off. The
display (1) switches to the lowest brightness level for about 10 seconds as soon as a button is
pressed. Press the [SNOOZE] button (10) briefly to switch the display (1) back on permanently.
10.2 Switching the device on/off
Press the [ ] button (7) briefly to switch the radio on. Press the [ ] (7) button briefly to switch the
device into standby mode.

SilverCrest SURQ 4 A1
English - 17
10.3. Adjusting the volume
When the device is switched on, you can adjust the volume from “00” (minimum volume) to “32”
(maximum volume). Press the [ ] button (5) to increase the volume or press the [ ] button
(6) to lower the volume.
10.4 Selecting the mode
Press the [ ] button (13) several times to toggle through the different modes. The current mode is
shown on the display (1). The following modes are available: DAB radio [ ] (37), FM radio [ ]
(36), Bluetooth® [ ] (35), and AUX mode [AUX] (38).
10.5 Setting the date and time
10.5. 1 Automatic setting via the RDS signal
The radio alarm clock has an automatic time display. The date and time are set automatically after it
is first connected to the mains. The “SYNC” indicator on the display (1) indicates that the radio alarm
clock is waiting for the date and time signal. After receiving the signal, the display (1) shows the
current time.
Due to high-frequency interference and unfavourable reception conditions, e.g. in heavily
shielded buildings, the reception of time signals may be limited or not possible at all. In
this case, you can set the time manually as described in the chapter “Manual time setting”.
10.5.2 Setting the time manually
In addition to the automatic setting of the time, it is also possible to set the time manually. This can be
useful if the RDS signal cannot be received for some reason:
•In standby mode, press and hold the [ ] button (15) for approx. 2 seconds until the display
setting switches from the current time to “24H” or “12H”. Now press [ ] (3) or [ ] (9) to
switch between 12 and 24-hour mode. Confirm your selection by pressing the [ ] (15) or
[ ] button (11).
•The hours start flashing. Set the correct hour using the [ ] (3) or [ ] (9) buttons. Confirm your
selection by pressing the [ ] (15) or [ ] button (11).
•The minutes start flashing. Set the correct minute using the [ ] (3) or [ ] (9) buttons. Confirm
your selection by pressing the [ ] (15) or [ ] button (11).
