Using the DAB Radio

Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before
you attempt to tune to a DAB station (a vertical position is
recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength
is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the aerial
also ensures the best possible sound quality.

DAB Radio mode

Check that your radio is in DAB mode. If you are not already in DAB
mode, press and release the 'Mode' button to go to DAB mode
(check the display).
The first time you use the radio or if the station list is empty, your
radio will automatically begin to scan for DAB radio stations. A
progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of
stations found during the scan will also be displayed.
If you were listening to a DAB station when you switched the radio
off then this station will be automatically selected when you switch
the radio back on.

Changing DAB stations

In DAB mode:
1. Press and release the 'Prev' or 'Next' buttons to scroll through
the available stations in the station list.
2. When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed
press and release the 'Select/Snooze' button. There will be
a short delay whilst your DAB radio tunes to your selected
station.

Scanning for DAB stations

With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become
available so it's a good idea to carry out a manual scan every now
and then to make sure that you have the most up to date station
listing stored within the memory of your radio. If you have moved
your radio to another location in your home or you have taken
your radio on holiday, then it's a good idea to carry out a manual
scan.
If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the 'Mode'
button to go to DAB mode.
1. Press and hold the 'Menu' button until '<Preset Store>' is
displayed.
2. Press and release the 'Prev' or 'Next' button until '<Full Scan>'
is displayed.
3. Press and release the 'Select/Snooze' button to begin a search
for stations. The display will change to 'Scanning...' A progress
bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of
stations found during the scan will also be displayed.

Prune DAB stations

You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot be
received in your area. These are listed with a '?' prefix.
1. Press and hold the 'Menu' button until '<Preset Store>' is
displayed.
2. Press and release the 'Prev' or 'Next' button until '<Prune>' is
displayed.
3. Press and release the 'Select/Snooze' button to select.
'Prune ? <No> Yes' is displayed. Press and release the 'Prev'
or 'Next' button to move to '<Yes>' . Press the 'Select/Snooze'
button to select and prune the station list. Stations with a '?'
prefix will now no longer be displayed.
4. Press and release the 'Menu' button to return to the station
display.
