5 Preparing the DIGITRADIO 217 for operation

5.1 Setting up the appliance

Place the appliance on a firm, secure and horizontal surface. Ensure good ventilation.

Attention!

Do not place the appliance on soft surfaces such as carpets, blankets or near curtains and wall hangings. The ventilation openings could be covered. This may interrupt the necessary air circulation. This could possibly lead to an appliance fire.
Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as radiators. Avoid direct sunlight and locations with an unusually high level of dust.
The location must not be selected in rooms with high humidity, e.g. kitchens or saunas, as condensation can damage the appliance. The appliance is intended for use in a dry environment and in a temperate climate and must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water.
Please note that the appliance feet may leave coloured marks on certain furniture surfaces. Use protection between your furniture and the appliance.
Keep the DIGITRADIO 217 away from devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
Do not place any heavy objects on the appliance.
If you move the appliance from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may condense inside the appliance. In this case, wait about an hour before operating it.
Lay the mains cable so that nobody can trip over it.

Make sure that the mains cable or power supply unit is always easily accessible so that you can quickly disconnect the device from the power supply!
The socket outlet should be as close as possible to the appliance. To connect to the mains, insert the mains plug fully into the socket.
Use a suitable, easily accessible mains connection and avoid using multiple sockets!
Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands, risk of electric shock!
In the event of faults or smoke and odours coming from the housing, pull the mains plug out of the socket immediately!
Disconnect the mains plug before a thunderstorm breaks out.
If the appliance is not to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. before travelling, unplug the mains plug and remove any inserted batteries.
If the appliance will not be used for a longer period of time, remove the BaGerie, as it can leak and damage the appliance.
Excessive volume, especially for headphones, can lead to hearing damage.
Do not set up the appliance near devices that generate strong magnetic fields (e.g. motors, loudspeakers, transformers).

5.2 Connecting the power supply unit

To do this, insert the plug of the supplied mains adapter into the mains adapter socket on the back of the device and then connect the mains adapter to the mains.

Make sure that the operating voltage of the power supply unit matches the local mains voltage before plugging it into the wall socket.

Once the mains connection has been established for the first time, "TechniSat" appears on the display.
Pull the plug out of the socket when not in use. Pull the plug and not the cable.
Disconnect the mains plug before a thunderstorm breaks out. If the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time, e.g. before travelling for a longer period of time, disconnect the mains plug.
The heat generated during operation must be dissipated by sufficient air circulation.
For this reason, the appliance must not be covered or placed in a closed cabinet. Ensure that there is at least 10 cm of free space around the appliance.

5.3 Improve antenna reception

The number and quality of stations to be received depends on the reception conditions at the installation site. Excellent reception can be achieved with the DAB+/ FM rod antenna.

Set up the telescopic aerial and pull it out lengthways.

The exact alignment of the DAB+ antenna is important, especially in the peripheral areas of DAB+ reception. You can quickly find the location of the nearest transmitter mast on the Internet at "www.dabplus.de", for example.

Start the first search at a window in the direction of the transmitter mast. If the weather is poor, DAB+ reception may only be possible to a limited extent.

Using the signal strength display in the status bar, you can find the optimum antenna alignment and, if necessary, the best installation location.

5.4 Insert baUery

Open the battery compartment on the back of the appliance by pressing lightly on the arrows embossed on the battery compartment cover, sliding it in the direction of the arrows and then removing the cover.
Remove any BaGeries that may have been inserted.
Insert new AA batteries into the battery compartment, observing the marked polarity.
Place the BaGerie compartment cover on the BaGerie compartment and slide it in the opposite direction to the arrow until it clicks into place.

Replace a weakening BaGerie in good time.

Leaking BaGeries can cause damage to the appliance.

If the appliance will not be used for a longer period of time, remove the batteries.

Important note on disposal: BaGeries may contain toxic substances that are harmful to the environment. It is therefore essential that you dispose of the BaGeries in accordance with the applicable legal regulations. Never dispose of the BaGerie in normal household waste.

5.5 Use headphones

Hearing damage!

Do not listen to the radio at high volume via headphones. This can cause permanent hearing damage. lead. Before using headphones, adjust the device volume to the minimum level. If you connect a headset (not supplied), the loudspeaker is muted.

Only use headphones with a 3.5 millimetre jack plug.
Insert the plug of the headphones into the headphones socket on the back of the device. The sound is now reproduced exclusively via the headphones.
If you want to listen via the loudspeakers again, unplug the headphones from the headphones socket on the device.
