English

1. Insert 4 R6 "AA" batteries 1.5 V. Mind the correct polarity (indicated on the bottom of the battery case)!
2. Close the battery case.
3. If the device is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the device to avoid any leaking of battery acid.

CAUTION:

• Never use different battery types or new and used batteries together.
• Batteries must not be disposed of in the garbage. Please bring used batteries to competent collection centers or back to the dealer.

WARNING:

Do not expose batteries to any high temperatures such as sunlight, fire, or the like. There is a danger of explosion!

NOTE:

If you have connected the power supply, the batteries are automatically deactivated.
Always switch off the device during non-use with the OFF ON switch on the back, to not unnecessarily stress the batteries. To display the time as accurately as possible, the device will synchronize the time with the radio station in the background. This results in a higher battery consumption. In the worst case scenario, the batteries could be discharged prematurely.

When shutting off the device with the OFF ON switch, the time/ alarm time will be lost.

Installation

The figure on the right of the display shows the number of radio stations found. The first alphanumeric DAB station is played.

When playing a radio station, the time and date is taken from the broadcasting service. If the device does not receive DAB stations in your location, set the time manually as described in "Settings menu".

Scan DAB stations

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a digital broad casing standard for terrestrial reception of digital radio. A list of radio stations which can be received in Germany is available on the Internet at www.digitalradio.de.

i NOTE:

In Germany approx. 70% of the country's area is covered by digital radio broadcasts (as of Nov. 2011). In the individual areas however, coverage and provision vary greatly. If the DAB stations in your region cannot be received or only with interferences depending on location, in this case you can switch to the FM band to receive this station. This is only possible however if these stations are broadcast via VHF. Find out more on the internet site of the radio station.

1. Press the SOURCE button (11) repeatedly until "DAB MODE" appears on the display.
2. Press the SCAN button (5). The device then searches for the radio stations which can be received.
3. You can select the next or the previous station by using the / buttons (3). Confirm your selection with the REPEAT ALARM/SELECT button (9).
4. If the reception is too weak and the received station "motorboats", try to improve the reception by changing the position of the antenna.

NOTE:

• For optimum DAB reception, we recommend to align the telescopic antenna vertically.

English

NOTE:

• You cannot toggle between Mono and Stereo during DAB reception.
  To manually set a DAB frequency, proceed as described in the "Settings menu" section.

  This indicates the station category (e.g. Pop-Music, News etc.).
• Displays the name of the station group (e.g. DR Deutschland).
  Frequency of the current radio station.
  The "SIGNAL ERROR" display shows the signal quality. The lower the adjacent figure, the better the quality.
• Displays the digital Audio Bit Rate.
• Display the time.
• Display the date.

  The currently set option is highlighted by 串 ^

A Settings menu can be found in DAB mode, as well as in FM mode. The DAB and FM menu is explained below along with the general SYSTEM menu.

DAB Menu

The DAB menu is divided into menus: Full scan, Manual tune, DRC and Prune.

Full scan: Starts the station scan. The DAB frequency band is scanned for stations.

• Manual tune: To do so you need to know the station frequency. This can be found on the internet site of the broadcasting service. Select individual frequencies using the buttons (3).

• DRC: short for Digital Range Control (dynamic range). The term DRC describes the ratio between the quietest and the loudest sound. If the dynamic range is very high there are very soft sounds as well as very loud sounds. Under some circumstances this may present a problem with playback. Let us assume that you are listening to a radio station in a relatively loud environment. By increasing the volume you can play the quiet sections louder. This however has the disadvantage that the loud sections become uncomfortably loud. It makes sense here to reduce the dynamic range. Select between the options:

• DRC off: The dynamic range is not reduced.

• DRC high: The dynamic range is sharply reduced.

• DRC low: The dynamic range is slightly reduced.

• Prune: It may be that you can no longer receive some stations after a station scan or change of location. With this function you can delete these stations from the reception list. Select "YES" and confirm with the REPEAT ALARM/SELECT button.

FM Menu

• Scan setting: Select the desired option in order to perform an automatic station scan.

• Strong stations only: Only search for strong radio stations.

• All stations: Search for all receivable radio stations. In doing so, the scan also pauses on weak stations.

Audio setting:

• Forced mono: Every radio station is played back in mono irrespective of the transmitted signal.
