If the station has ‘?’ before its name the service is currently
inactive or invalid. If you select a station which has this
symbol the DAB tries to tune to that station. If still
unavailable ‘Service not avail’ or ‘Service off- air ’ will be
displayed and DAB will attempt to tune to an alternative
station. A flashing cursor will indicate that this is underway.
If you want to try to manually tune to this station you
have five seconds in which to push the Tune button and
the manual tuning bar will be displayed enabling you to
adjust your aerial.
