Problem What to do

There is no sound from my radio

1. Check that the volume is not set to the minimum.

2. Make sure that the radio has been able to locate

DAB/FM stations.

The display shows ‘NO SERVICES

AVAILABLE’ in DAB mode

1. Make sure that DAB coverage exists in your area.

2. Try adjusting the position of the aerial or location

of the radio.

Poor reception

1. As with any radio service, there will be areas of

weak signal that may cause poor reception.

2. Follow the instructions for Manual Tuning and

adjust the aerial while monitoring the signal

strength until the optimum signal is obtained. If

reception is still poor, try re-locating the radio to

another part of the room.

I cannot access secondary services

1. At the time of publishing this manual not many

secondary services are available in the UK.

2. 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.

Some of the buttons on the DAB Digital

Radio are not working

1. This may be caused by electrostatic discharge.

2. Turn the Portable DAB Radio off, disconnect the

mains plug and reconnect after a few seconds.
