Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international
safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if
you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug,
extension leads and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment)
are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing
connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation,
operation or safety of your equipment.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such
as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing,
or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON'T place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles
or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt
plastic and lead to fires.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are
distracted from the requirements of traffic safety.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently
damage your hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is
specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation. Switch off
using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows
how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or
handicapped people.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about
it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way switch off, withdraw
the mains plug and consult your dealer.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compression to compensate for the
differences in the dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a
station broadcasting popular music may have a high level of
compression applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening
level, whereas a station broadcasting classical music will have little or
no compression as the listener requires all of the highs and lows in the
music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
• DRC0 No compression applied.
• DRC1 Maximum compression applied (this is the default).
• DRC1/2 Medium compression applied.

• Try adjusting the position of the antenna.
Poor reception
• As with any radio service there will be areas of week signal that may
cause poor reception. Follow the instructions for Manual Tuning and
adjust the antenna while monitoring the signal strength until the
optimum signal is obtained. If reception is still poor try relocating the
radio to another part of the room.
I cannot access secondary services

are available in the UK. This will increase as more DAB stations start
broadcasting. If a secondary service station is available, the
secondary indicator '>>' will be displayed next to the station name.
