Operation

Receiving DAB+/DAB stations

Switch into DAB+/DAB mode

The upper left corner of the display shows the mode your dRadio 100 is currently set to (FM, DAB or Menu). If it is not set to DAB+/DAB already, just press the DAB/FM button (11) on the control panel once.

Scan stations

Press the Scan button (10) on the control panel in order to start scanning the available stations automatically. Your dRadio 100 scans the complete frequency range and then writes the stations it has found into the station list. This comes in very handy, because this way you do not have to execute the scan process over and over again.

Show station list

Press the navigation wheel (1) shortly. Start turning it and you will see the list of available stations, which you can choose from by pressing the navigation wheel on the one you would like to listen to.

Prune station list

If your DAB+/DAB station list contains stations which have a question mark in front of their name, the reception situation has changed since the last recent station scan, with the effect that the marked station can currently not be received anymore. If you would like to clear such marked stations from the station list, please use the “Prune” function in the System Setup menu.

Receiving FM stations

Switch into FM mode

The upper left corner of the display shows the mode your dRadio 100 is currently set to (FM, DAB or Menu). If it is not set to FM already, just press the DAB/FM button (11) on the control panel once.

Scan stations

Press the Scan button (10) on the control panel in order to start scanning for the next available FM station.

Find only strong stations

If you are only interested in the stronger stations with a good reception quality and skip the weaker ones, you can make the corresponding setting under "FM Scan Setting" in the System Setup menu.

Tune manually

Press the navigation wheel (1) once shortly. By turning it you can now navigate to a desired frequency manually.

Further operation notes

The following functions can be used both in DAB and FM mode:

Save stations as favourites

If you have found a station which you especially like and which you would like to listen to again later without the need to search for it first, simply save it as one of your favourites. Press one of the five available memory buttons (15) for three seconds. In order to recall

dRadio 100

the station later, just press the same memory button for a short time. By the way, you can of course save different stations in DAB and in FM mode (so you have five memory buttons available for DAB and FM each).

Change volume

In order to change the volume of your dRadio 100, turn the navigation wheel (1) to the left for a lower volume or to the right in order to make it louder. If you want to completely mute your radio temporarily, press the mute button (13) on the control panel.

Display additional information

Press the info button (12) in order to display additional info broadcasted by the currently tuned station. Please note the type of information broadcasted can alter from one station to the next.

Setup

Start by pressing the back button (2) in order to navigate to the main menu of your dRadio 100. There you will find the following sub menus:

The DAB menu

Station List

Shows the station list. If a question mark appears in front of the name of a station, it cannot be received at the moment.

Full Scan

Executes an automatic scan though the complete frequency range and writes the available stations into the station list.

Manual Tune

Use this if you want to navigate to a certain frequency manually.

The FM menu

At the moment, the FM menu does not contain any further sub menus or functions. Therefore it redirects to the FM reception mode.

The System Setup menu

Language

Here you can choose from several languages for the menu navigation.

Time Setup

This menu lets you choose from different formats for displaying time and date. You can

also set time and date information manually here.

FM Scan Setting

With this option you can decide if the automatic FM scan should only find strong stations with a good reception quality, or if it should also stop on weaker stations as well.

Prune

If your DAB+/DAB station list contains stations marked with a question mark (meaning that your dRadio 100 cannot receive these stations at the moment), you can permanently remove them from the station list. If you want to add them to the station list again later (for example after changing location in order to achieve a better quality of reception), you have to execute a new station scan.

DRC

DRC means Dynamic Range Control. This function aims at smoothing the differences in volume between different stations, which can result in an overall more homogeneous listening experience.

SW Version

This shows the software version running on your device.

Factory Reset

Should you decide to reset your dRadio 100 to its default settings, you can do this here. Attention: This will delete all of your settings and saved stations!
