Where to put your radio
It is important that you consider carefully in advance where
your radio will be situated and make sure that it is:
* on a fl
at and stable surface
* within 1
.8 metres of a power socket
* whe
re you can fully extend the telescopic aerial
*
away from bright sunlight or heat sources, such as a radiator
* not in a humid or
very damp place such as a bathroom
Setting up
Step 1: Connect the mains power lead into the socket on the
bot
tom left of the back of the radio and fully extend the radio
ae
rial in a vertical position to obtain the maximum signal
strength.
Note: Only use the power supply provided. Using an
unautho
rised power supply will invalidate your warranty
and m

Step 2: Plug the power adaptor into the mains power wall
socket and swi
tch on. Welcome to Digital Radio will be
displ
ayed.
Step 3: Press the Power button on the front of the radio.
The first time you switch your radio on it will automatically
be
gin to scan for DAB+ radio stations. A progress bar will
show the progress of the scan and the number of stations
found during the scan will also be displayed.
When the scan is complete your radio will select the first
available station and begin to play. Stations are listed in
nume
rical and then alphabetical order by default.
Note: The DAB+ radio station list is stored in the memory
and so the n
ext time you switch your radio on, the station
sea
rch does not take place. It is possible to scan manually for
stations. Please see page 6.
Step 4: Inserting the batteries (optional). Before installing
the b
atteries (not included) please ensure that the Radio is
unplugged f
rom the mains power supply.
On the back of the radio, push the two tabs on the battery
compartment down and remove the battery cover. Insert
4 x 1
.5V LR14 C-size batteries, making sure to note the ‘+’
and
‘-‘ markings and position the batteries the correct way
around. Replace the battery cover, making sure it clicks’ shut.
