Using the clock radio for the ﬁrst time

1. Place your clock radio on a ﬂat surface.

2. Fully extend the wire aerial located on the rear of your clock radio.

Place the wire antenna so that it is straight as possible extending

either above or below the radio.

3. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your

clock radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet. The

display will show 'Welcome to Digital Radio' for a few seconds and

then the display will show '0:00'. If a DAB signal is found it will then

show the current time in the display.

4. If no stations are found, '0:00' will be displayed. It may be necessary

to relocate your clock radio to a position giving better reception. You

should then carry out a scan to ﬁnd stations as described on page 8.

• IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting

the clock radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used

for the clock radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order

to disconnect the radio from the mains completely, the mains

adaptor should be removed from the mains socket outlet

completely.

Characters appearing on the display indicate that the clock radio is

connected to and powered from the mains supply.

Welcome to

Digital Radio

Operating your clock radio

1. Place the wire antenna so that it is as straight as possible extending

either above or below the radio.

2. Press and release the On / Standby button to switch on your clock

radio.

3. Press and release the Band button until the DAB mode is selected.

The display will show 'DAB Mode' for a few seconds.

4. If this is the ﬁrst time the clock radio is used a scan of Band III DAB

channels may be carried out (depending on whether scanning was

already completed in standby mode). When the scan is completed the

ﬁrst station (in numeric-alpha order 0...9...A...Z) will be selected. If the

radio has been used before, the last used station will be selected.

5. The display will show the station name on the upper line of the text

display and broadcast information on the lower line.

6. If no signals are found it may be necessary to relocate your clock radio

to a position giving better reception, and then repeat the scan using

the Auto-tune facility (see 'Finding New Stations - DAB' on page 8).

Note: that radio station name and frequency displays shown in this user

guide may differ from those that you see on your radio. Broadcasters may

change radio station names that are transmitted, and the frequencies

used for DAB and FM radio stations may not be the same in all parts of

the country.
