Secondary Services

You may see a “>” symbol after the name of the primary station whilst exploring the found 

stations by turning the SCROLL dial. 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, turn the SCROLL dial continuously until you find the 

secondary service and press the OK dial to confirm. When the secondary service ends, the 

unit will automatically switch back to the primary station.

Manual Tuning

As well as using 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 OK dial 

to select Manual tune, the display will now show 

Manual tune.

2.  Turn the SCROLL dial to cycle through the DAB 

channels, which are numbered from 5A to 13F.

3.  After your desired channel number is selected, 

press the OK dial to confirm, the top line will now 

display the channel number, the frequency and 

the multiplex name. The bottom line will display 

the signal strength.

4.  Press the OK dial to listen to this channel or turn 

the SCROLL dial to continue manual tuning.

Presetting Stations

You can store up to 10 of your favourite 10 DAB stations to the memory. This will enable you 

to access your favourite stations quickly and easily.
1.  To store a preset, you must first be listening to 

the station that you would like to save, press and 

hold the MEMORY button. The display will show 

Empty Preset 1“, and the preset number will 

flash.

2.  Turn the SCROLL dial to select your desired 

station preset number.

3.  Press the OK dial to confirm your station, the 

display will show “Preset # saved“.

Recalling a Preset Station

1.  Once you have saved a station, you can recall it by 

pressing the MEMORY button, and then turn the 

SCROLL dial to select your desired preset number, 

then press the OK dial to confirm.

2.  If you choose a preset that hasn’t been allocated a 

station, “Preset # empty“ will be displayed.
