Operation
DAB radio mode
DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays information about the actual station, program/track
broadcasted.
To enter DAB radio mode, short press the MODE button until the display shows DAB Scanning for stations.
The first time you use the radio, or if the station list is empty, the radio automatically performs a full scan to see what
stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of stations for one of the following
reasons:
• New stations may become available from time to time.
• Stations close or can no longer be received (In the station list, invalid stations are indicated with a question mark in front
of their name).
• If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the antenna was not up), this may result in an empty or
incomplete list of available stations.
• If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to break up, you may wish to list only stations with good
signal strength.
To do a full scan Select Menu > Full scan.
Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previously-selected station or first station on the station list.
1. Selecting stations
To change station Use the left/right rotary control to scroll through the list of stations and press to tune to the displayed
station. The Now playing screen is displayed with the new station details.
Some stations are secondary services associated with a Primary channel and only available at certain times. Any station that
has associated secondary services is indicated with a double chevron pointing (>>) to the right.
The Secondary service station is indicated with a double chevron (<<) pointing left. In the Station List Secondary stations are
always listed next to their Primary station rather than the normal alphabetical order
2. Presets
The radio has 10 preset memories for DAB.
To store a station in a preset memory Press and Hold the PRESET button until the display shows Preset Store.
Presets (1-10) are displayed as either empty or with the currently stored station name. Use the left/right rotary control to
choose a preset memory then press to store the currently-playing station.
After Confirmation the preset is stored, the display reverts to the Now playing screen.
To recall a preset station Press Preset briefly, (the display will show Preset Recall). Select one of the listed preset stations
using the SKIP-/SKIP+ rotary control and press Select to choose the displayed preset station.
3. Manual tune (This function is for DAB mode only)
Besides the autoscanning function, you can also manually tune to a particular channel/frequency. This can be useful for
adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and scanning a particular channel to update the station list.
To manually tune
Long press INFO/MENU > Manual tune then use SKIP+/SKIP- button control to display a particular channel/frequency, press
ENTER to tune to that channel/frequency. The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength on the selected
frequency. Adjustments to your antenna will be shown in the received signal strength displayed.
Note: The slightly larger rectangle indicates the audio quality threshold – if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid
rectangles, falls below this threshold the audio quality will deteriorate.
