Telescopic aerial

Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended and adjusted before you attempt to tune to 
a DAB radio 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.

DAB radio mode

Check that your Radio is in DAB radio mode.  If you are not already in DAB mode, briefly 
press and release the Mode 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.

Changing DAB stations

In DAB mode:
1.  Turn the rotary ‘Tune/Select’ control on the top of the radio to scroll through the available 

stations.

2.  When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed press to ‘Select’.  There will 

be a short delay whilst your DAB 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. 

In DAB mode:
1.  Press and hold the ‘Menu’ button, ‘<Full scan>’ will be displayed.
2.  Press the rotary ‘Tune/Select’ control to select. The display will change to ‘Scanning...’.  A 

progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found during 
the scan will also be displayed.
