The DIGITRADIO UP1 is comprised of a DAB+/FM receiver with the following functions:
After switching on for the first time the device automatically performs a complete scan in DAB mode. While scanning, the display information shows the progress, as well as the number of digital radio stations detected. After completing the station scan the first DAB+ channel is played.
In DAB+ mode (the selected function is identified with an "*"):
In FM mode (the selected function is identified with an "*"):
All the DIGITRADIO UP1 functions and settings are accessed via the menu. The menu navigation takes place using the Info/Menu, <<, >> and Enter buttons.
The menu is divided into submenus and, depending on the mode (DAB+ or FM), contains different menu items or functions which can be enabled. To open the menu, keep the Info/Menu button depressed. To change to submenus, first of all press the << or >> buttons to display a submenu, then press the Enter button to retrieve the submenu. An asterisk (*) highlights the current selection.
Close menu: press the Info/Menu button repeatedly (depending on which submenu you are in), or wait until the current radio channel is displayed again.
Settings are not saved until the Enter button is pressed. If the Info/Menu is pressed instead, the settings are not confirmed and saved (the Info/Menu button in this case acts as a "Back" button).
The functions and buttons to be pressed are shown in bold in this instruction manual. Displays in [square brackets].
Some texts (e.g. menu items, station information) may be too long to show on the display. Shortly thereafter, these will be shown as running text.
DAB+ is a new digital format through which crystal clear sound with no noise can be heard. In contrast to conventional analogue radio stations, DAB+ can be used to broadcast multiple stations on one and the same frequency. This is referred to as an ensemble or multiplex. An ensemble is comprised of the radio station, as well as several service components or data services, which are broadcast individually by the radio stations. There is information at www.digitalradio.de or www.digitalradio.ch, for example.
With this, digital radio takes advantage of the properties of human hearing. The human ear does not perceive sounds which are found under a specific minimum volume. Data which are found under the so-called audibility threshold can, therefore, be filtered out. This is possible because, in a digital data stream, the relevant relative volume for other units is saved for every unit of information. Moreover, in an audio signal, the quieter parts are superimposed by louder ones at a specific limit value. All the sound information below the threshold of hearing in a piece of music can be filtered out of the signal to be broadcast. This leads to a reduction of data in the data stream to be transmitted, with no perceptible difference in sound for the listener (HE AAC v2 - supplementary codification process for DAB+).
With digital radio, audio streams are continuous data streams which contain the MPEG 1 audio layer 2 frames and thereby represent acoustic information. This enables standard radio channels to be broadcast and listened to on the receiver side. Digital radio provides you not only with excellent sound quality radio but also additional information. This may refer to the programme being broadcast or be independent information (e.g. news, weather, traffic, tips).
If DAB+ is being started for the first time, a complete scan will be performed. After completing the scan, the first station in alphanumerical order will be played.
The automatic scan [Complete Scan] scans all DAB+ band III channels and thereby finds all stations being broadcast within the reception area.
After completing the scan, the first station in alphanumerical order will be played.
During the scan a progress bar and the number of stations found is displayed.
The programme memory can save up to 10 stations in the DAB+ range.
If no station is saved on the selected station slot, [(empty)] appears on the display.
When retrieving the factory settings all memory slots are deleted.
Stations with a signal intensity below the required minimum signal intensity are not transmitting a strong enough signal.
This menu item is used to check the reception channels and can be used to position the antenna.
Stations with a signal intensity below the required minimum signal intensity are not transmitting a strong enough signal.
With the Volume Adjustment menu item, the compression rate is set which balances the dynamic variations and thereby the accompanying volume variations.
This menu item is for removing old stations and those no longer being received from the station list.
This is followed by the prompt [Delete OK?], to check whether the inactive stations are to be deleted.
When switching on for the first time, the frequency 87.50 MHz is set.
If you have already set or saved a station, the radio plays the last station set.
In the case of RDS stations, the station name appears.
RDS is a procedure for broadcasting additional information via FM stations. Broadcasters with RDS broadcast their station name or the programme type, for example. This is shown on the display. The device can show the RDS information RT (Radio text), PS (Station name), PTY (Programme type).
If a FM station with sufficient signal intensity is found, the scan stops and the station is played. If an RDS station is being received, the station name appears and, possibly, radio text.
Please use the manual station scan for setting weaker stations.
The display shows the frequency in steps of 0.05 MHz.
In this menu item it is possible to set the sensitivity of the scan.
With the All Stations setting the scan stops automatically upon detecting each available station. This can result in weak stations being played with background noise.
Given that the DIGITRADIO UP1 is a mono device, this setting only affects the station reception intensity.
The station memory can save up to 10 stations in the FM range.
If you have no station saved to the selected station slot [(empty)] appears on the display.
When retrieving the factory settings all memory slots are deleted.
If Bluetooth mode is being launched for the first time, a playback device, e.g. a smartphone or tablet, must be paired with the DIGITRADIO UP1.
If a playback device has already been paired once and it is located in the reception range, it will be automatically connected.
Please refer to the instruction manual for your smartphone/tablet as to how to use the Bluetooth function on your smartphone/tablet.
Once you have successfully paired your smartphone/tablet with the DIGITRADIO UP1, you can start playing audio. Open a music app on your smartphone/tablet and start playing music. Depending on the smartphone/tablet, the sound will either be played directly via the DIGITRADIO UP1, or you will first of all have to select the DIGITRADIO UP1 as the playback device. Please refer to the instruction manual for your smartphone/tablet as to how to select playback devices via Bluetooth on your smartphone/tablet.
Control of the smartphone/tablet via the DIGITRADIO UP1 is only possible with supported devices.
Depending on the smartphone/tablet, ring tones or system tones can also be transferred.
You can activate the sleep timer if you want the DIGITRADIO UP1 to switch to standby automatically after a specific time.
In the top left corner of the display, a clock symbol appears to indicate that the sleep timer is active.
If you retrieve the Sleep timer menu again, the remaining running time is shown.
The wake-up function cannot be operated until the correct time has been set. Depending on the configuration, this occurs automatically or must be set manually. The time can either be updated manually or via DAB/FM. See Time and date settings Section for further information.
If you have selected digital radio (DAB) or FM as the wake-up tone source, you can then select a station from the station list or the last selected channel as the playback source. Then press Enter.
[Repeat] - In this case select the days on which the alarm should be active. You can choose between daily, once, weekends (Sat. and Sun.) and working days (Mon. - Fri.). Then press Enter.
If you have selected Once, you must then enter the date on which the alarm should be active.
[Volume] - With the << or >> buttons, select the volume at which you wish to be woken. Then press Enter.
If you wish to deactivate the alarm, proceed with the alarm according to Setting the alarm time section and, after adjusting the volume, select Alarm - Off. Press the Enter button to save the setting. The alarm is now switched off.
To adapt the tone to your requirements, it is possible to adjust trebles and basses separately.
All the settings referred to in this section apply equally to DAB+/FM, as well as to Bluetooth mode.
Depending on the setting for time updates (Time update section), the time and date have to be set manually.
In this submenu, you can determine whether the time update should be done automatically via DAB+ or FM, or whether you wish to enter it manually (Manually setting the time/date section).
In the Set Format submenu, you can activate the 12 or 24 hour clock format.
In the Set Date Format submenu you can determine the format for displaying the date.
It is possible to set the display brightness both for operation and standby.
If the [Off] option is selected, the display lighting will be switched off completely on standby after approx. 10 seconds.
If you change the location of the device, e.g. when moving house, it is possible that the saved stations can no longer be received. In this case you can reset the device to factory settings to delete all the saved stations and then launch a new scan.
Under SW version you can retrieve the currently installed software version.
To prevent the risk of an electric shock, you may not clean the device using a wet cloth or under running water.
You may not use scouring pads, scouring powder and solvents such as alcohol or petrol.
