Page 6: The Bug
DAB Digital Radio behind the successful EVOKE-1. The Bug may look cool on your coffee table but it also performs (as you would expect from men in white coats who have stroked their pointy beards over this ‘til their chins were sore) and gives radio clarity and a choice of stations that will make you want to take your old FM/AM units down to your local Cats Protection League charity shop. -

Page 14: Listening To Dab
Listening to DAB Born to be DAB . Listening to DAB is what your Bug was made for. This bit tells you how your Bug works when listening to DAB and what you can do with it. Changing stations Finding stations is much easier with DAB than with your old FM/AM set. When you first switch on your Bug it quickly finds all the DAB stations available in your area and puts them in a handy station list. - Page 15 Changing what’s shown on screen Show and Tell time. The Bug has 5 DAB info modes so you can change what you see on screen. Press the Info button and repeat to choose between the 5 info modes. Some of the modes have more than one option, shown by an arrow at the bottom right of the screen.
- Page 16 The Bug includes a handy ReVu mode which lets you pause and rewind live radio. It works like this: The Bug constantly stores audio and text from the station you are tuned to in its memory. The amount stored depends on how long you have been listening to that station and the data rate of the broadcast.
- Page 17 Push the ReVu button again to start replaying the stored audio and text from the where you left off. The clock stops counting, showing that you are now listening that many minutes/second behind real time. You can listen in this way for as long as you like, or press the shortcut button next to fast forward to catch up to real time.
- Page 18 Recording radio to a memory card That’s a keeper. Capture that special track and take it with you on a little bit of plastic. You can record radio* to an SD (Secure Digital) card which you put into the SD card slot in the rear of your Bug.
- Page 19 Active station Displays active stations at the top of the station list and inactive ones at the bottom, in alphanumeric order. Inactive stations are those on your station list but not currently available, marked with a ’?’. Multiplex Lists stations in groups according to their multiplex. Multiplexes are groups of stations owned and broadcast by a multiplex operator.
- Page 20 Auto-select station Change the way you select stations using this option. This option is set to Off by default meaning when you scroll to a new station you have to press the navigation button to confirm the selection. If you set this option On, your Bug will automatically tune to the station you stop at after about 4 seconds rather than waiting for confirmation.

Page 21: Setting Alarms And Timers
Set a sleep timer to lull you to sleep, alarms to wake you up and record timers for when you’re asleep. 24 hour radio. The Bug gets the date and time from the DAB signal. The clock is normally shown on the top line of the display but you can also set it to fill the whole screen, see page 15. - Page 22 Want to drift off to the gentle murmour of late night talk shows? Set a sleep time after which the Bug will automatically switch itself into standby mode. 1. Press the Menu button, select the Alarm/timer option and choose Sleep time.
- Page 23 Setting a timed recording Your Mother’s in town but obviously you don’t want to miss ‘Thrash metal hour’. Set a timer and record* to SD card or your MiniDisc recorder and she need never know that you really don’t like the TV themes in Brass CD she got you last Christmas. You can set up to nine different timers.

Page 24: Using An Sd Card
Check www.thebug.com for any known issues. Note The Bug records files to SD cards in MP2 format. You may need to use a computer to convert these files to a different format if you wish to use them in another device that uses SD cards. - Page 25 Format This formats the SD card for use in the Bug - this process is useful if you want to completely empty a card, use a new card or use a card previously used in another device which may have a different format to that used in your Bug.
- Page 26 On later versions of Windows when you connect your Bug to your PC using a suitable cable your PC should detect the Bug and install it as an external storage device giving it a drive letter (e.g. E:) and making it available through Your Computer or Windows Explorer.
