ALBRECHT DAB+ Digital Radio DR 860 Senior

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Albrecht DR860 digital radio. We have developed a radio that focuses on the essential basic functions needed for digital radio enjoyment, making it very easy to use. The radio is intuitive for anyone using the controls or theincluded remote control to operate. In addition, the design on the screen has been completely revised. By reducing the display to the really relevant information, these can now be displayed even larger and clearer.

Connect the small plug of the power adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the device and plug the power adapter into a power outlet. Slide the ON/OFF switch to „ON“ to turn on the power.When you turn on the radio for the fi rst time, the unit automatically performs a full scan for all available DAB/DAB+ stations in your area. The date and time in standby mode are automatically set as soon as the radio has DAB reception.

Battery operation

The Albrecht DR860 radio has a built-in rechargeable battery so that you can use the radio for example in the garden, in the park, camping, etc. The battery has a operation time of about 11 hours before it has to be recharged. When the radio is plugged into a power socket, the battery will be charged automatically. During charging, the LED on the back of the device glows orange. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up green. If you ever want to replace or remove the battery, loosen the screw on the battery compartment on the back and gently pull the battery plug inside before removing it.
