Using your Handheld DAB Radio
Let’s get started
DAB Radio mode
Check that your radio is in DAB mode. If you are not already in DAB mode, press and
release the Mode button to go to DAB mode (check the display).
The first time you use the radio or if the station list is empty, your radio will automatically
begin to scan for DAB radio stations. A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and
the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed.
When the scan is complete your radio will select the first available station and begin to
play. Stations are listed in numerical and then alphabetical order by default.
If you were listening to a DAB station when you switched the radio off then this station will
be automatically selected when you switch the radio back on.
Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before you attempt to tune to a DAB
station (a vertical position is recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal
strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the
best possible sound quality.
Changing DAB stations
In DAB mode:
1. Press and release the or button to scroll through the available station list.
2. When the station that you would like to listen to is highlighted press and release the
Select button. There will be a short delay whilst your radio tunes to your selected
station.
Scanning for DAB stations
With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available so it’s a good
idea to carry out a manual scan every now and then to make sure that you have the most
up to date station listing stored within the memory of your radio. If you have moved your
radio to another location e.g.: if you go on holiday, then it’s also a good idea to carry out a
manual scan.
