From the “Welcome to Digital Radio” screen, click the ‘Standby/Mode’ button (Ref.1) to switch your radio on. At this point, you will be required to select your chosen radio language.
When DAB mode is activated for the first time, a scan will automatically commence, or will play the last station before the unit was turned off.
