INTRODUCTION
Your DAB211PT uses the latest DAB+ technology to combine
a full-function Digital Radio and FM band receiver in a tiny,
portable unit. The DAB211PT is the perfect companion for
private radio listening whether at home, at work or on the
move.

range of information can be displayed, such as the names of
stations, battery and signal levels etc.
