strength might decrease up to 30%
Wire the antenna cables by using the self-adhesive clips to secure the cables.

For use at home with your stereo system, use your own USB wall adapter with the Micro USB cable.
Connect the included cable antenna to the SMB socket of the adapter and move it to a position with
good receiption.
5. Listen to DAB Radio
When you start the DR 54 for the rst time, the adapter will perform a Full Scan automatically. Once
the scan is nished the stations can be scrolled by simply turning the knob.
If you need to do a manual Full Scan (for example if you are using the adapter in a different area),
double press the rotating knob.
Note: in case the station scan does not nd any stations, check the antenna connection (car) or
move the cable antenna to a different position (at home).
6. Transmission to an audio system
6.1. Audio Cable Output
In order to get better sound quality, please use the 3.5mm audio cable to connect the Line Out jack
of the DR 54 and Audio In jack of your car/home stereo.

sound performance, please select a frequency which is not used by another FM radio station.
