General information
What is DAB+?
DAB+ was developed in Europe by a consortium of broadcasters and manufacturers. DAB+ uses digital compression
techniques to transform the source material, i.e. music and speech, into better quality audio.
Interference Free Reception
Analogue systems suffer from an effect called “multipath distortion”. This is because waves do not behave in an
orderly fashion, but bounce and reflect off buildings etc. DAB+ sees this as an advantage and uses the directed and
reflected signals to reinforce the end result, allowing for better service more of the time.
DAB+ scans automatically and tunes-in all of the available stations in your area.
Scrolling Text
Broadcasters can transmit text to your radio. This way you can read the name of the DJ, artist, song title or any other
information they choose.
Carefully remove your DAB+ Receiver from the box. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
In the Box
Inside the box you will find: (1) DAB+ Radio (Main Unit), (2) Power Adapter, (3) Remote Control and (4) User
Guide
Positioning your DAB+ Radio
Place your DAB+ Receiver on a flat / stable surface. Make sure it is not subject to vibration/ movement.
Avoid the following locations:
Where it will be close to heat radiating sources.
Where the humidity will be high and/or the ventilation will be poor.
Where it will be dusty.
Where it will be damp or a possibility of water dripping or splashing onto the unit.
Adjusting the Antenna
The antenna should be extended to ensure good reception in both DAB+ and FM radio modes. It may be necessary to
alter the position of the DAB+ Radio and /or antenna to achieve the best signal.
