Secondary services Some DAB radio stations have one or more secondary stations associated with them. If a secondary station is available ‘>>’ is shown after the current station name. The secondary station will then appear as the next station in the station list so you can select it like you would any other DAB station. Secondary stations are indicated with ‘<<’ before the station name. Station order The DAB station list can be ordered by Alphanumeric or Ensemble. Alphanumeric puts the stations in alphabetical order, Ensemble groups stations from the same broadcaster together. To change station order, select Menu > Station order and select Alphanumeric (default), Ensemble or Valid. Valid shows available stations rst and places invalid stations (marked with ‘?’) last. Station scan If the station list is empty the radio will automatically perform a full scan as soon as you switch to DAB. In any case, we recommend you do a full scan from time to time to update the station list because: ● New stations sometimes become available ● Stations close or may no longer be received ● Reception was poor during the original scan (for example the aerial wasn’t extended) ● You move the radio to a different region To do a full scan, select MENU > Scan. Remove weak or invalid stations Weak (burbling) or invalid stations have a ‘?’ in front of the station name. They can all be removed by selecting MENU > Prune.

Change station Press or to automatically tune to the next available FM station. If RDS is unavailable the frequency is displayed instead. The scan sensitivity is set to All stations by default so your R1 will stop at any available station. If this results in poor audio from weak stations, you can change the scan setting so it only stops at stations with a strong signal by selecting Menu > Scan setting > Strong stations only. FM radio text (RDS/RBDS) Each time you press INFO, the next set of information is displayed, cycling through radio text, programme type, frequency, signal strength and date. Manual tune Select MENU > Manual tune then rotate the CONTROL KNOB to change the frequency. Save preset See ‘Common functions and system settings’ section. You can store 10 FM stations in your preset list. If RDS data is not available, your R1 will store the frequency instead of the station name in the preset list. Recall preset ‘See Common functions and system settings’ section. For optimal reception, fully extend the aerial and adjust its position.EN-17

Headphone volume is adjusted independently from speaker volume, so when headphones are plugged in the volume is shown as Volume (HP). Your R1 has a 5W, 1.0A USB power output on the back. Connect a USB cable compatible with your device to the charge port (11) on your R1 to charge most smartphones including iPhones and most Android and Windows phones. Please note that the charge port is not compatible with Apple iPad or iPad mini or any other device that requires a charger with an output greater than 5W.
