How to unlock the display "time is not set" and make the buttons work on the Lenco SCD-69 DAB+ CD radio during the first use?
Frequently Asked Questions - 19/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The message "time is not set" on your Lenco SCD-69 DAB+ CD radio appears during the first use because the device cannot function properly without the time being set. This is an intentional lock that prevents the buttons from responding until you set the time. Here’s how to unlock your device:

Access the setup menu:

  • Press and hold the Info/menu button for a few seconds until you access Menu mode (the LCD screen will change).
  • Use the Station (-) and Station (+) buttons to navigate through the menu options.
  • Press the Enter button to confirm your selections.

Set the time manually:

  • In the main menu, navigate to System and press Enter.
  • Select Time, then Set Time/Date.
  • Using the Station (-) and Station (+) buttons, set the hour, minutes, and date as needed.
  • Press Enter to validate each field.

Alternative: Automatic time update: If you want the time to be set automatically, in the System menu, select Time then Auto Update. Choose Update from any source (default option) for the device to automatically retrieve the time from DAB or FM radio. Once you have tuned into a station, the time will be updated automatically and the buttons will become active again.

Once the time is set correctly, the message will disappear and all buttons on your Lenco SCD-69 DAB+ CD radio will function normally. If after these steps the screen remains locked and the buttons still do not respond, you can reset the device by performing a factory reset via the System menu, option Factory Reset. However, this action will erase all your custom settings, your DAB station list, and your stored stations.
