WHAT IS DAB?DAB radio wil l change the way that people listen to radio over the nextfew years. You wil l probably not beaware thatdigital radio wil l become mandatory in the future asthe terrestrial radio frequencies which you currently l isten to wil lbe reallocated for other uses such asemergency services. This means that today you are one ofthe pioneers usingthis technology, however ina short space oftime everybody wil l benefit from clear digital radio.Digital radio offers an abundance of new digital only stations and improved sound quality. There are no frequenciesto remember sothe ICS100 can betuned by searching through station names. The audio quality of DAB isnear thatof a CD with virtually no interference and noretuning. DAB is also enhanced with DLS (Digital Label Segment), thisis data transmitted by the station which may include information about the station, program or song (see page 16).The BBC was the pioneer of digital radio, beginning transmissions in September 1995. Digital One,the national commercial radio multiplex operator, began broadcasting in November 1999. There hasbeen a growth in the number of digital radio stations throughout the UK and both the BBC and DigitalOne are commi tted to extending thei r coverage. Dig ital One current ly covers 80% of the UK popu la ti on ,soon to increase to 85%, and the BBC covers 65% with the aim of increasing coverage to 80% by 2005.There are currently over 350 DAB stations operating inthe UK including the following:BBC stations:Radio 1,2,3 ,4 , 5 ,6 ,7

Commercial stations:Capital RadioPlanet RockX-FMVirgin

1XtraAsian Network

Your ICS100 wil l receive DAB programs broadcast on Band 3 digital radio (174-240MHz). There are a total of41channels within this range numbered 5Ato 13F,the number of channels you can receive wil l be dependant on yourlocation and signal strength. The UK has been allocated seven multiplexes bythe Radio Authority - inthe spectrum217.5-230.0 MHz,which are numbered 11Bto 12D.A multiplex is a broadcaster such as BBC National DAB or Digital One who wil l provide a host of different stationswithin their multiplex. Ifwe consider the BBC as an example, the following diagram shows how the BBC multiplexmay work.Below the main multiplex provider (in this case 'BBC National DAB') wil l bea number of primary stations. These arelabelled with the station name (e.g Radio 2) rather than the frequency. This allows you totune the ICS100 bystation

The ICS 100 requires a dedicated DAB antenna for itto function correctly.ANTENNA FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Please use the dedicated antenna supplied orif you prefer an alternative DAB antenna can be used ifit isterminated with an F-Type connector. Upgrade DAB antennas are available for purchase from Acoustic Solutionsplease call 0871 2307747 for further details.The antenna supplied isa glass mount variety which does not require any physical mounting holes inthe glass.The external portion ofthe antenna isfixed tothe glass using an 3MVHB pad, and similarly the internal connectionblock for the anttenna isstuck to inside ofthe galss using a 3MVHB pad.

The preferred mount ing posit ion for the DAB an tenna i son the fron t windscreen in the top corner o f thepassenger side.P lease note that the exte rnal po rti on of the antenna can be removed by unscrewing thi s f rom the base part.I t i s necessary to remove th is pr io r to a ca r wash.Acoustic Solut ions Limited does not accept l iabi lty for any part of the antenna becoming disconnectedfrom the car surface.Please see the following steps for the installation ofthe DAB antenna:1.

POD FITTING INSTRUCTIONSPlease see the fol lowing steps for the in

The POD is supported by using the POD mounting bracket.This bracket has been designed to offer a high degree of mounting flexibilty by utilising adjustable joints.The prefered moun ting posi ti on for the pod and pod moun ti ng b racke t i sonto the f ron t windscreen in a lowposit ion on the dr ivers side, in close proximit y to the a pi llar and dash board .

P lease note that i t is advi sed that the pod and pod moun ti ng bracke t be placed in a pos it ion which doesno t impai r the sight of the dr iver .

2. CLEAN THE GLASS AREAPOD FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Use the other 3M cleaning sachet provided for this function, againensuring that the glass surface is completely dry before procedingto the next stage.

Once you have decided on the optimum location, itwill be necessaryto clean the glass asyou did before for the antenna.

3. AFFIX 3M VHB PADTO GLASSWe would advise that this operation iscarried out inside in a building where the ambient temperature ismaintained.3M VHB pads cure most effectively between a temparature range of 21-38 degrees centigrade. The effectivenessofthe bond ofthis pad wil l be reduced ifthe bracket isintalled in either very cold conditions, or conversely verywarm conditions.Itis not recommended to apply the adhesive pad to surfaces with a temperature of 10degrees centigrade or lower.Ensure that the POD isremoved form the mounting bracket.Take the mounting bracket and peel off the 3M sticker backing to reveal the 3M VHB adhesive surface.From your earlier investigation place the mounting bracket against the glass inthe desired location. Apply sufficientforce tothe bracket to ensure the 3M pad maintains complete coverage against the glass.

DO NOT RE-FIT THE POD AT THIS STAGE

4. ALLOW THE 3M VHB PADTO CUREAs the mounting bracket has to support thetime to cure adequately.

5. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TOTHE BRAC

Please see the following fitting procedures:

1)Util ising the existing FMreception ofthe radio by interrupting the existing car antenna lead.2) Utilising anAUX line level input onthe existing car radio.

1) Utilising the existing FMreceptionThe car radio may have been removed during the previous process of removing trim and panels. Itis necessary tounplug the the existing AM/FM antenna which isplugged into the back ofthe car radio.This lead should then be plugged into the corresponding socket marked "from car aerial" onthe black box.I tmay be necessary to uti lise the DIN/ISO converter plug suppl ied inthe ICS100 kit depending on whichconnector is f i tted to your car radio antennalead.Connect the black box to the car radio using theISOIDIN aerial cable supplied inthe ISC100 kit.This cable should beplugged into the socketmarked "to car radio" onthe black box.I tmay be necessary to uti lise the DIN/ISOconverter plug suppl ied inthe ICS100 kitdepending on which connector is f i tted toyour car radio antenna lead.P lease note i tw ill be necessary to set thefm f requency dip swit ches i f using themethod descr ibed above.

Once the DAB radio has completed searching for stations in your locality, itwill store the station list alphabeticallywith numeric values (e.g. 1Xtra) listed before alphabetical values (e.g. Planet Rock).Use the scroll wheel to scroll up and down through the station list. Whilst scrolling through the station list you wil lsee that the LCD display wil l show 3 lines of station names.This wil l allow you to see what isbefore and after the middle line, which wil l bethe station that you select.

Once you have found your desired station, push thescroll wheel to confirm your selection. The ICS 100 wil lnow tune to this station.Sometimes the LCD display wil l read 'STATION NOTAVAILABLE' This indicates either a previously storedstation is not being broadcast or you have moved toa location where this station is not available.
