Instructions Guide

Getting Started
Please note all (Ref.) refer to Pages 1-2 of the Controls and Functions guide. Plug the power connector into the back of the system via the port that is labelled as DC 5V (Ref.13). Alternatively, charge the radio for approximately 3.5 hours to charge the internal battery. This will allow for approximately 8-12 hours of charge and portability.
Once powered or charged, switch the Power Supply switch on the back of the system to ‘ON’ (Ref.12).
Ensure the antenna (Ref.11) is extended as far as possible so that you can rotate it. This will allow you to receive the best possible signal before DAB or FM mode is selected. Press the ‘Power/Mode’ button (Ref.3) to turn on the unit from standby. It will automatically take you to DAB radio mode or the previous mode you were using. If DAB mode is activated, the radio will automatically begin scanning and storing DAB stations with good signals. The screen will display “Full Scan” when it is scanning, and will display a
radio station when the scan is complete.
If the radio does not automatically begin scanning, simply press the ‘Scan’ button (Ref.4) to initiate a full scan. Once it is finished, the first available station will begin to play
To place the music system in standby mode, press and hold the ‘Power/Mode’ button (Ref.3) To turn the radio off fully, switch the button on the rear of the unit (Ref.12) to OFF and turn the power off at the mains.
