When the device is not being used, remove the plug from the socket. Pull on the plug and
not on the cable. Remove the plug before a storm starts. Remove the plug if the device is not
going to be used for a prolonged period, e.g. before going away on a long trip.
The heat generated during operation must be dissipated by adequate best reception. Therefore
the device must not be covered or installed a closed cabinet. Ensure there is a free space of at
least 10 cm around the device.
6 Preparing the device for use
6.1 Improving antenna reception
The number and quality of the stations to be received depend on
the reception conditions at the location. Excellent reception can be achieved with the DAB /
FM aerial antenna. The antenna must be extended to its full length and positioned for best
reception.
>
Align the telescopic antenna and extend it.
The exact alignment of the telescopic antenna is often important, in particular on the
outskirts of the DAB+ reception area. You can quickly find the location of the nearest
transmission mast on the Internet at, for example, www.digitalradio.de.
Start the first scan at a window pointing in the direction of the transmission mast.
If the weather conditions are poor, DAB+ reception may be limited.
Do not touch the telescopic antenna during station playback. This could compromise
the reception and lead to sound dropouts.
The signal strength is shown at the upper right on the display.
