Control Method

On/Off/Standby

Using The Buttons

All the button actions are just a quick press unless otherwise stated in the required action. This includes the button function of the dial.

Using The Dial

The dial on this radio is dual-action. This means it will perform one action by turning the dial and another action by pressing it.

Setup

First Time Use

After removing the radio from the packaging, connect the radio to the mains using the adaptor supplied or insert 4 x AA batteries into the battery bay in the base. Fully extend the aerial and press the button to turn the radio on.

The date and time will automatically be set from the DAB signal received. The radio will then proceed to scan for the first time.

The number to the right of the display indicates the number of channels found in your region during this scan.
After the scan is complete, the radio will tune itself to the first alphabetically listed station available in DAB mode.
