Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Malfunction

Possible causes/measures

The unit does not work

Check the adaptor lead has been correctly 
plugged into the mains and the DC input jack 
at the rear of the unit. Switch on the radio at the 
back via the ‘On/Off swtich. 
Check the power cable is functioning, if able to.

No sound

Check the volume control is not set to minimum 
and no headphones are fitted into the headphone 
jack.

Radio reception noisy (FM)

Extend the antenna or adjust the position of the 
radio. A factory reset would be advisable.
FM Stereo - if weak switch to MONO as this 
requires less signal strength.

Radio reception stutters/bubbling 
sounds (DAB)

Signal is weak. Extend the antenna or adjust the 
location of the radio. Positions higher up or nearer 
windows may improve reception. Note sometimes 
retracting the aerial slightly (less than full length) 
may improve reception.

DAB ‘No Signal DAB’

This normally means the signal is very weak, not 
that there is so signal. Try moving the radio to a 
different location and rescanning. Check that your 
local area has DAB coverage.

General Functionalty Issues

Perform a System Reset in the menu settings to 
set up your radio again. Ensure the antenna is 
extended.

Time and Date not setting 
automatically

For the time and date to set automatically you 
need to turn on the system and switch to DAB 
radio and let this scan.  Alternatively, set the time 
and date up in the menu settings.
