Improving reception
Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if reception is poor.
A number of factors can affect reception including the position of your radio and coverage in your area. The following
sections give advice on how to maximise reception.
Using the Tuning aid
This option provides a signal level display which you can use to find the best position for your radio and aerial.
When you select this option, the bottom line of the display shows the channel and frequency. See page 20 for useful
addresses which you can contact to find the channel for a multiplex you want to receive.
1. Press the Menu button and select the Tuning aid option.
2. Turn the Tune knob to scroll through different channels and push the Tune knob to select one. Note The list includes
all channels, UK stations are in the range 11B to 12D. You see a signal level display. The empty block indicates the
minimum required level for reception and the solid blocks indicate the current level.
3. Move your aerial or radio while watching the display and to try to raise the current level to the empty block or
beyond. The display will change to show the multiplex name on the bottom line of the display once a good signal is
received and the multiplex stations will be added to the station list.
4. Push the Menu button to exit the tuning aid or turn the Tune knob to select another channel.
Note You can also display the signal level at any time for any station you are listening to by pushing the Tuning knob.
Aerial advice
Your TEMPUS-1 is supplied with a telescopic DAB aerial. This is an indoor aerial which is designed to give good re cep tion
in areas with good to moderate DAB signal strength. In areas with poor DAB coverage or poor signal strength you may
want to consider using a loft mounted or external aerial. To find out about coverage in your area contact one of the
organisations listed on page 20.
The following options may help you improve reception. A range of DAB aerials are available from the shop on our website
