DAB SCANNING
When first used, your audio system scanned the DAB band
for available stations. The station services found were then
stored in your system's memory.
You can re-scan the band at any time if you move to a different
area or just to refresh the stored list of available stations.
Two types of scan are available, a Quick Scan that scans UK
DAB bands for available services and a Full Scan, that scans
all bands.
TO START A QUICK SCAN
• Select the DAB band.
• Press the /SCAN button briefly to start a quick scan
or hold the button to start a full scan.
The unit will now display the legend 'SCANNING' and a bargraph
to show scan progress. The number of services found during the
scan will be shown at the right side of the display.
After running a Quick or Full scan the radio will re-tune to the
last tuned station, or if this is not available, the first station
found in alphabetical sequence.
