The Display

information shown on line 2 of the display.

it starts to scroll across the display – this is normal.

Normal (DLS Text)
This is the normal display for DAB mode. The DLS text is almost always
longer than the display so it will "scroll" across the display such that all the
content can be read

The signal strength is shown as a bar on line 2 of the display – the longer
the bar, the stronger the signal. This display can be used when first setting
up your receiver to help you position the aerial for best reception.
