Sandstrom SDABTIP12 - DAB Operation; DAB Station Tuning and Management

DAB Operation
DAB Auto Scan
The auto scan will search for all DAB Band III channels. After the scan has nished, the rst
alphanumerically found station will be automatically selected.
Full auto scan will not replace the DAB stations in the memory. If you want to remove all
the previously scanned stations, a system reset is required.
1. To activate auto scan, rst press the MENU button to enter the DAB Menu. Then press
the buttons to select the “FULL SCAN”, and then press the ENTER button to
conrm. You can also press the INTRO/SCAN button to perform a full scan. The display
will show “Scan …”. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of stations
found.
2. All the stations that have been found will be stored automatically. To explore the found
stations, press the
buttons to select.
Secondary Services
You may see a “>” symbol after the name of the primary station whilst exploring the found
stations by pressing the buttons. This indicates that there are secondary services
available to that station. These secondary services contain extra services that are related
to the primary station. e.g. a sports station may want to add extra commentaries. The
secondary services are inserted directly after the primary station in the station list.
To select the secondary station, press the
buttons until you nd the secondary
service. When the secondary service ends, the unit will automatically switch back to the
primary station.
Manual Tuning
As well as the auto tune function, you can manually tune the receiver. This can help you
when aligning your aerial or when adding stations that were missed while auto tuning.
1. Press the MENU button and then press the
buttons to select Manual tune, the
display will now show Manual tune. Press the ENTER button to conrm the selection.
2. Press the
buttons to cycle through the DAB channels, which are numbered from
5A to 13B.
3. After your desired channel number is selected, press the ENTER button twice to
conrm.
Presetting Stations
You can store up to 20 of your favourite DAB stations to the memory. This will enable you to
access your favourite stations quickly and easily.
1. To store a preset, you must rst be listening to the station that you would like to save,
press and hold the PROG button. The display will show “## Empty”, and the preset
number will ash.
