Preset radio stations

To make it easier for you to tune your radio to the stations that you prefer, you may store selected radio stations as presets. Your radio holds presets separately for DAB and FM radio modes. You may set as many or as few presets as you like in each mode. You can easily switch between displaying all DAB stations (or all FM frequencies) and displaying only those that you have set as presets. Any station or frequency which has been marked as a preset can easily have the mark cancelled should your preferences or needs change. Presets are retained when your radio is switched off.

1.  To setup your preset stations, tune into the required station.
2. Apply a long press on the Preset button so that the tick symbol shows in the display. This indicates that the radio station is marked as a preset. To cancel the preset mark, apply a long press on the Preset button again. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as needed for any other stations that you want as presets.
3. To view only the preset stations for the currently selected waveband when tuning, press and release the Preset button so that the heart symbol shows in the display.
4. To listen to one of the preset radio stations, rotate the Tuning control until the required radio station is displayed. The radio will automatically tune to that station. If needed press Tuning.
5. To cancel the preset stations view, press and release the Preset button so that the heart symbol disappears from the display. Your radio will then be able to access the full station list using the Tuning control.

Favorite

Your radio has a favourite button which will automatically select the required waveband and tune to your favourite radio station.

1. Tune to the required station. Apply a long press on the Favourite button (for 5 seconds) until the display shows ‘SAVED’. To recall your favourite station, press the Favourite button.

Setting alarms

Your radio has 2 alarms which can be set to wake you by DAB, FM radio or buzzer alarm. Each alarm can be set to sound, once, daily on weekdays or at weekends.
Alarms can be set with the radio in standby or switched on. Ensure the time is set correctly before setting the alarms. Alarms cannot be used when the radio is powered from the batteries. Alarms will be retained in the event of a power failure. If no buttons are pressed for 10 seconds, your radio will exit the alarm setup.

1. To change the states of alarms while the radio is in Standby, repeatedly press the Mode/Alarm button. The display will cycle through No alarm, Alarm 1 enabled, Alarm 2 enabled or Alarm 1 and 2 enabled.
2. To change the detailed alarm settings while the radio is in Standby, apply a long press on the Mode/Alarm button. This will cause the alarms menu to be displayed. Then skip to step 5 below.

12. Press Tuning to confirm the alarm settings. ‘SAVED’ will show on the display before exiting the alarm setup. 13 Alarms are indicated in the display by the alarm 1 2 symbol and the corresponding alarm number. The alarm will sound at the selected times for up to 60 minutes unless cancelled. The maximum volume used for the alarm will be specified during alarm setup. When your radio is set to wake by the radio alarm, your radio will switch to the selected radio station. If the radio cannot tune to the specified radio station, the buzzer will be used instead. Note: If the radio is switched on because of a radio alarm you can control basic functions such as the volume.
    When the alarm activates it will start softly and gradually increase in level. The alarm icon will flash on the screen and the radio will automatically switch back to standby mode when the 60 minutes have elapsed.

The snooze duration can be adjusted between 5 and 20 minutes. The default setting is 5 minutes. The display will show the snooze symbol. This sequence can be repeated during the 60 minute alarm period. To cancel snooze press and release the On/Off control.

Other information

Battery operation

1. Remove the battery cover located underneath the radio by applying pressure to the catch in the direction shown by the arrow and then lifting up the cover.
2. Insert 4 x AA-size batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. The low battery indicator lighting, reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.
4. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio. We recommend for economy that the radio is used via the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or standby use only. Caution: Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.

The sound on your radio can be adjusted to suit your personal taste for the material that you are listening to. You may set the treble and bass levels to your own preferences using the ‘My EQ’ menu.

1. Press Menu. Choose ‘MY EQ’, ‘TREBLE’ then choose the desired level between (- 4 and + 4). Press Tuning.
