DAB+ radio reception is different from FM radio reception.
• In FM, you can often still receive a weak station, but probably with a rustling or
crackling sound.
• DAB + reception works digitally and if there is not enough signal you hear nothing.
No hiss or crackle as with FM. This is not due to the radio, but to the fact that there
is not enough DAB+ signal at that location.
• DAB + rule is: no or weak reception = no sound.
What can you do if you do not have direct DAB+ reception.
• Always point the antenna straight up vertically first.
• Do not place the radio too close to potential sources of interference such as, battery
chargers, rotating machinery, computers, large metal surfaces, etc.
• Move the radio a few meters.
• Turn on the radio and activate a full scan in the DAB+ menu
• In the display of the radio you will see the progress of the scan and the number of
stations found in the current position of the radio.
Important
• With DAB+ reception, there can be a very big difference in reception level between
one location and "a few meters away". In case of a local weak DAB+ signal, move the
radio to find a stronger signal.
• If you take the radio to another location, perform a full scan again. This will show you
which DAB+ stations can be received there.
FM radio mode
FM radio mode receives analogue radio from the FM band and displays RDS (Radio Data
System) information about the station and show (where broadcast). To enter FM Radio mode,
either press Mode to cycle through the listening modes until FM Radio is displayed, or select
Menu > Main menu > FM. The FM radio mode menu offers the following options:
⚫ Scan Settings
⚫ Audio Settings
⚫ System Settings
⚫ Main Menu
Selecting stations
To find a station, press OK. The frequency display starts to run up as radio scans the FM band.
Alternatively, you can scan up or down by pressing and holding left or right buttons or tune
manually with quick presses.
Note: Scanning can be set to search for strong signals only. Preset stations can be stored and
recalled as described in Presets.
