PUSH Pixis IB.indd 3 14/11/2013 12:114 Sleep The Sleep setting allows you to set PiXiS to automatically switch itself into standby mode. See page 10 for further information. Time, Date and Alarm status are displayed along the top of the screen. These are not touch-activated but provide a quick, handy summary. The central area of the screen is the main information display, showing you menu lists and information about whatever you’re currently listening to. Navigational menus occupy the bottom of the screen. These allow you to access features and settings and get back to the home screen. Guiding Principles PiXiS’s defi ning feature is its 3.5 inch colour touchscreen, which puts you in direct contact with the radio’s many functions. PiXiS’s controls are very intuitive, so should require little explanation. The graphical representation of features and the ability to directly touch words and buttons to activate them should feel natural after just a few minutes of use. To get you started, the following two pages aim to offer a summary of what you can expect to see in the different areas of your radio’s screen and provide an outline of how to fi nd your way around.

Home Screen Your fi rst point of contact with PiXiS’s interface is the home screen. We think the various modes will be fairly self- explanatory and easy to fi nd but here we offer a short description of the function of each of the homepage icons. Gently press an icon to access the relevant mode. FM Radio PiXiS includes the ability to receive FM broadcasts, including RDS data. Very handy if you take your radio outside a DAB reception area. See page 8 for further information. Settings The Settings menu provides you with controls to tailor the setup of your PiXiS. For example, time settings, audio EQ, and display brightness can be controlled from here. See page 11 for details. Alarms PiXiS’s alarms allow you to wake up to any of the audio modes or a buzzer. Alarms are fully confi gurable to specify dates, recurrence, volume etc. See page 9. DAB Radio As well as high-sensitivity DAB reception, PiXiS is future-proofed to provide coverage of DAB+ broadcasts where available. See page 6 for further information.

After you’ve clicked an option on the home screen to enter one of the modes, the layout of the screen will change slightly. While each mode looks unique to a certain extent, depending on the information to be displayed, there are several features in common throughout the system. Second–Level Navigation When using any of PiXiS’s modes, you’ll notice at the foot of the screen are one or two rows of contextual menu buttons. These are your main means of interacting with PiXiS. The bottom row remains on screen in all modes and provides system-level navigation, enabling you to return to the home-screen at any time, or bring up a contextual menu for your current mode If you press the ‘Home’ button, the current mode will continue to play until you select an alternative audio source. This means you can adjust PiXiS’s alarm settings or change your system confi guration without interrupting your listening. Home – click to return to the main menu screen while maintaining audio playback of current mode. Contextual Menu – click to view and confi gure user options for current mode. As you navigate through context-specifi c sub-menus, the “Close” button will change to a “Back” button, which takes you back up to the previously viewed screen. Volume – click to mute volume. The current mode name is displayed in the centre of the bottom menu bar. DAB An arrow next to an item in a list indicates that there are further options associated with that item. When you enter a navigational menu, the available choices will be shown as a list. Just touch any option in a list to select it. On longer lists, a scrollbar will appear to the right of the screen. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the list one screen at a time, or press part of the scrollbar background to jump to a point. If you press the Home button, you’ll notice that a “Back” button appears in the lower right hand corner of the main menu screen. Pressing this will take you back to the currently playing mode.

DAB Radio Mode Getting started Please ensure that your PiXiS’s antenna is fully extended before you enter DAB mode. On PiXiS’s Home screen, click the DAB icon. The fi rst time you enter DAB mode, PiXiS will automatically begin to scan through the frequency range to fi nd radio stations. Scanning will take a few moments; a progress bar will appear on screen to keep track of how many stations are picked up in your area. After scanning, the list of radio stations received in your area will be sorted alphabetically and saved to PiXiS’s memory. More detailed technical information is available by pressing the info key. This includes detailed broadcaster data and information about signal strength. DAB Cancel Scanning in progress...

DAB Slideshow enables detailed full colour images to be broadcast alongside standard digital audio transmissions, providing a colourful and informative backdrop to DAB radio broadcasts. Slideshow content includes a wide variety of information screens and images, including ‘Now Playing’ screens, news headlines, sports reports, weather information and traffi c updates. At the time of writing, DAB Slideshow content is being broadcast by a growing number of radio stations in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, France, Australia and Hong Kong. If DAB Slideshow content is available on your chosen station, PiXiS will automatically display the slideshow image at full screen size. To revert to the standard DAB Mode screen, simply press PiXiS’s touchscreen. To re-enter full-screen DAB Slideshow mode at any time, press the small slideshow graphic on the left of the screen. NOTE: The availability of DAB Slideshow content is at the discretion of broadcaster. Not all stations currently operate this feature.

A couple of reasons may account for this...

• New station launches or existing stations which cease broadcasting.

• If the initial scan gave poor reception (for example, if the aerial was not properly extended or PiXiS was placed in a bad reception area), the default station list may be incomplete or even empty. To begin a manual scan, in DAB mode, press the Menu button. Select Scan from the list. When the scan is fi nished, your updated station-list will be saved into PiXiS’s memory. Pruning Stations To remove stations that appear on your list but which are not available, press the Menu key in DAB mode and select Prune Invalid Stations. PiXiS will remove any invalid stations and auto update and save your station list. Editing Presets You can change the order or delete items from your favourites list by going to the DAB menu and selecting Edit Favourites. Controls will appear around any station you select, allowing you to move or remove it. Dynamic Range Control DRC can improve audio performance if you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment (e.g. listening to classical music while cooking in the kitchen). DRC boosts quieter sounds, making them easier to hear, without over- amplifying the louder sections of music. PiXiS has 3 DRC settings: OFF, Low and High. Default setting is Low. To alter this setting, click the Menu button in DAB mode. Select DRC from the list, then click your preferred setting. Note: Not all DAB broadcasts are able to use DRC. If the broadcast does not support DRC, then changing the setting will have no effect. Favourite Station Presets PiXiS lets you save up to 10 of your favourite DAB stations as presets. To store the station you are currently listening to as a preset, just press the add preset button at any time. When successful, you’ll see the message “Favourite Added”. To view your preset stations list at any time, press the presets button.

From the Home screen, press the FM button. You’ll see the following screen, with the currently selected FM frequency displayed. Note the frequency scale across the centre of the screen. You can simply press any part of this scale, to tune PiXiS to the corresponding radio frequency. You can also use the forward and back buttons to tune up or down through the frequency range, one step at a time. If you want to scan through the bands to fi nd a station, click on “Seek” so that it’s hilighted in yellow, then use the forward and back buttons as before. Now instead of individual steps, PiXiS will scan up or down until it fi nds the next available station. For stations with good signal strength which broadcast RDS information, PiXiS will display the RDS Data. Favourite Station Presets PiXiS allows you to store up to 10 favourite station presets in FM Mode. To add the station you’re listening to as a new favourite, click the Add Favourite button. This will bring up the following feedback: To review your favourites list, click the favourites button at any time. Your favourites will be listed as shown below. If you’re already listening to one of your favourites, it will be highlighted on the list as shown here: FM Settings Press the contextual menu button to bring up the FM Settings menu: My Favourites: takes you to view your favourite stations list. Stop on Stations: is a toggle button which dictates PiXiS’s FM sensitivity when scanning for stations. If set to “Strong”, scanning will only stop on stations with good reception.

• Time Format Time & Date Settings Time Source Allows you to specify where PiXiS should sync its clock from. By default, your radio will set the time from DAB, this is the simplest option. You can set the time sync source to “None”, if you intend to set the time yourself and don’t require any external updates. Time can also be set from FM mode, to do so you’ll need to receive a good station signal for several seconds to extract the time data.
