What is DAB+Digital Radio?
DAB+means Digital Audio Broadcasting. The difference between a DAB+
radio and a conventional AM/FM radio is that broadcasts are transmitted
digitally, resulting in a high quality audio sound*, without any hiss, fading
or crackles.
Your DAB+radio will automatically scan and find all the available stations
for you. Each station name, together with other helpful broadcast
information is shown on the display; select the one that you would like to
listen to, and it’s very easy and quick to use.
* Please note that the sound quality is dependent on a strong signal
strength. Signal strength can vary from area to area.

will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found
during the scan will also be displayed. A local scan takes approximately
10 seconds.
4. If you are using your DAB+radio outside of Australia, then press and
hold the ‘Enter’ button for 2 seconds (at Step 3) to begin a wider,
national and local scan (Full Scan). A national and local scan takes
minimum 1 minute.
Storing a DAB+station preset

instant access to your favourite stations.

presets. Briefly press ‘Preset’ when you select a station. The radio
