Introduction

Features• Your DAB radio features both DAB and

DAB+ reception and FM for areas that may not have DAB broadcasts.

• An AUX (line) input enables connection of audio sources such as personal audio players.

• A headphone jack is provided for personal listening.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the unit’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the manual accompanying the unit.

Service• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

remove screws. The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

• Do not open any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages.

First Time UseInitial ScanWhen your radio is switched on from Standby for the first time it will scan the DAB band, searching for usable stations. These will be stored alphanumerically.The initial scan will take a few minutes. While the scan is running, the scan progress will be shown on a bargraph and the number of stations found will be displayed.

Manual clock settings will be updated when you next tune to a DAB station.

When the scan finishes, the radio will play the first station in the sequence.Note: If no stations are found, switch the radio off and move it to a location with a stronger signal. When you switch the radio back on it will automatically repeat the scan process.

Setting the Clock AutomaticallyThe time and date are set automatically from DAB station information.

Setting the Clock ManuallyThe clock can be set manually if there are no DAB stations in your area.Refer to the ‘Time’ section on page 22 for more details.
