Charge the batteries
Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering sound” or low battery red
LED is on are all signs that the batteries need recharged if you use
rechargeable batteries to power the radio.
Note:
The radio can be charged only when the radio is off.
Connect the AC power cord into the AC socket to charge the batteries,
be sure the battery type switch is set to Ni/MH position.
When the radio is charged, the green Charge LED will be flashing,
and stop flashing (the green LED is on) when the radio is fully charged.
Charging time takes approx. 4-6 hours depending on capacity of the
rechargeable batteries in use.
Using the radio for the first time
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.
2. Fully extend the antenna on the top of your radio. Adjust the antenna
so it is as vertical as possible extending above the radio.
3. Insert the adaptor plug into the AC socket located on the rear of
your radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains outlet. The display
will show “Welcome to DAB” for a few seconds and then the display
will show “Clock not set…”. During this time the radio is to find a
DAB clock radio station. After a short time the current time will
appear on the display.
4. If no stations are found, “Clock not set…” will be displayed.
Please press the Power button to switch on your radio. It may be
necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving better reception.
You should then carry out a scan to find stations as described on the
subject as “Display modes – DAB”. Then please press the Power
button again to switch off your radio. After a short time the current
time will appear on the display to replace “Clock not set…”.
IMPORTANT:
The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the radio to the
mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain
accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the
mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from the
mains outlet completely.
