IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the

product to the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way mains

block used for the product must remain accessible during normal use. In

order to disconnect the product from the mains, the mains adaptor should

be removed from the mains socket completely.

Use only the mains adaptor provided with the product, or a genuine

replacement provided by Roberts Radio. The use of alternative adaptors

will invalidate the guarantee.

Using the buttons

Most operations on the clock radio are performed by a simple short press of a button.

A few operations require a longer press of a button. In this case the instructions will tell you to apply a long press, and the button should be held

down for 2 or 3 seconds, until the clock radio has responded. An example of this is applying a long press to the Menu / Mode button to change the

operating mode of the clock radio.

Selecting a station - DAB

1. Press On/Off to switch on the clock radio.

2. Repeatedly, apply a long press on Menu/Mode until the 'DAB' mode is

selected.

3. Rotate Tuning to step through the list of available stations.

4. Press Tuning to select and tune to the desired station.

5. Adjust the Volume.

Note: If after selecting a station the display shows 'OFF AIR' it may be

necessary to relocate your clock radio to a position giving better reception.

Secondary services - DAB

Some radio stations may have one or more additional broadcasts associated with

them. If these are available, they will appear immediately after the main station

as you rotate the Tuning control clockwise. To tune to the selected service,

press Tuning.

Sleep

Finding new stations - DAB

As time passes new stations may become available or you may have moved your clock radio

to a different part of the country. In this case you may need to cause your clock radio to scan

for new stations.

1. Press On/Off to switch on the clock radio.

2. Repeatedly, apply a long press on Menu/Mode until the 'DAB' mode is selected.

3. Press Menu/Mode. 'SCAN' will show on the display.

4. Press Tuning. Your clock radio will perform a scan of the Band III DAB channels. As

new radio stations are found the station counter on the right-hand side of the display will

increase and the radio stations will be added to the list stored in the radio.

Manual tuning - DAB

Manual tuning allows you to tune your clock radio to a particular DAB

frequency in Band III. Any new stations found will be added to the station

list. This function can also be used to assist the positioning of the aerial or

WKHFORFNUDGLRWRRSWLPLVHUHFHSWLRQIRUDVSHFL¿FFKDQQHORUIUHTXHQF\

1. Repeatedly, apply a long press on Menu/Mode until the 'DAB' mode

is selected.

needed for good DAB reception.

6. When a DAB signal is found, as shown by the signal indicator chevrons,

any new radio stations found with this signal will be added to the list

stored in the clock radio. Press Menu/Mode to exit.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC) settings - DAB

The DRC facillity can make quieter sounds easier to hear when your clock

radio is used in a noisy environment. The default DRC setting is 0.

1. When in DAB mode, press Menu/Mode.

2. Rotate Tuning until 'DRC' is displayed. Press Tuning.

3. Rotate Tuning to select the required DRC setting.

DRC 0 - DRC is switched off, Broadcast DRC will be ignored. DRC

1/2 - DRC level is set to 1/2 that sent by broadcaster. DRC 1 - DRC is

set as sent by broadcaster.

4. Press Tuning WRFRQ¿UPWKHVHWWLQJNote: Not all DAB broadcasts use

the DRC function. If the broadcast does not provide DRC information,

then the DRC setting in the clock radio will have no effect.

Operating your radio - FM

1. Carefully extend the wire aerial. Press On/Off to switch on the clock radio.

2. Repeatedly, apply a long press on Menu/Mode until 'FM' mode is selected.

3. Rotate Tuning clockwise and then apply a long press on the Tuning

control. Your clock radio will scan in an upwards direction (low frequency to

4. After a few seconds the display will update. The display will show the

frequency of the signal found. If the signal is strong enough and there is

RDS data present then the clock radio will display the station name.

5. Rotate Tuning anti-clockwise and then apply a long press on the Tuning

control. Your clock radio will scan the FM band in a downwards direction

(high frequency to low frequency). When the waveband end is reached your

radio will recommence tuning from the opposite waveband end. Adjust the

Volume. To switch off your clock radio press On/Off.

Mode

Prune stations - DAB

If you move to a different part of the country, some of the stations which were

listed may no longer be available. Also, from time to time, some DAB services

may stop broadcasting, or may change location or frequency. Stations which

cannot be found, or which have not been received for a very long time are shown

in the station list with a question mark. The Prune stations function will delete the

marked DAB stations from your station list.

1. When in DAB mode, press Menu/Mode.

2. Rotate Tuning until 'PRUNE' is displayed. Press Tuning.

3. Rotate Tuning until 'Y' is displayed. Press Tuning to cause the invalid station

names to be removed from the station list.

4. If you do not wish to prune stations choose 'N' in step 3 above.

Note: If you have moved your clock radio to a different part of the country you

should also carry out a search for new stations (please see the section 'Finding

new stations' on page 5).

Sleep

Manual tuning - FM

1. Rotate Tuning to tune to a station.The frequency will change in steps

of 50kHz.

2. Adjust the Volume.

USB socket for smartphone or tablet charging

Your clock radio has a USB socket which can be used for charging a smart-

phone, tablet or other similar devices.

Charge time may vary and in some cases may take longer to charge than when

using the manufacturers charging unit supplied with the device.

1. Ensure your clock radio is plugged in.

2. Connect your device to the USB charging socket at the rear of your clock

radio.

3. Your device will begin to charge.

4. Once your device has charged remove the USB lead.

Headphone socket

A 3.5mm Headphone Socket located on the rear of your clock radio is provided for

use with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting a plug automatically mutes the

internal loudspeaker.

Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We therefore

recommend setting the volume to a low level before connecting headphones to the

clock radio.

IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause

hearing loss.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels

for long periods.

Auxiliary input socket

1. Connect a stereo or mono audio source (i.e. CD player, MP3

player, etc.) to the Auxiliary input socket.

2. Press On/Off to switch on the clock radio.
