Using your DAB+ radio

What is DAB Digital Radio?

DAB means Digital Audio Broadcasting. The difference between a DAB radio and a conventional AM/FM radio is that broadcasts are transmitted digitally resulting in a high quality audio sound*, without any hiss, fading or crackles.

Your DAB radio will automatically scan and find all the available stations for you. Each station name, is shown on the display; all you need to do is scroll through the station names and select the one that you would like to listen to, so it's very easy and quick to use.

For more information about DAB services and to find a list of stations available in your area visit www.digitalradionow.com.

* Please note that the sound quality is dependent on a strong signal strength. Signal strength can vary from area to area. To check the signal strength in your area visit www.digitalradionow.com

Telescopic aerial

Please make sure that the aerial on the back of the radio is fully extended and adjusted when you scan for DAB stations and listen to DAB radio (a vertical position is recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available as well as the best possible sound quality.

DAB mode

Press and release the 'Mode' button on the front of your radio until 'DAB' is displayed.

If you were listening to a DAB station when you switched the radio off then this station will be automatically selected when you switch the radio back on.

Changing DAB stations

I. If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the 'Mode' button on the front of your radio until 'DAB' is displayed.
2. Use the left hand rotary control to scroll through the station list.
3. When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed, press and release the left hand rotary control to 'Select'.

Scanning for DAB stations

With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available so it's a good idea to carry out a scan every now and then to make sure that you have the most up to date station listing stored within the memory of your radio.

If you have moved your radio to another location, e.g. if you go on holiday, then it's also a good idea to carry out a scan.

I. If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the 'Mode' button on the front of your radio to go to DAB mode.

1. Press and hold the 'Scan' button on the front of your radio to carry out scan. 'Scanning', will be displayed and a progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed.

Note: See ‘Changing DAB stations’ on page 9 for how to change DAB stations after a scan.

Secondary services

You may see a ‘>’ symbol after the name of a DAB station. This indicates that there are secondary services available on that station, e.g. a sports station with additional commentaries.

To select the secondary service, turn the left hand rotary control clockwise when the ‘>’ appears in the display. When the secondary service ends, your radio will automatically go back to the primary station.

Manual tune

Using the manual tune feature you can select a specific digital radio channel frequency and then manually adjust the aerial, or the location of the radio, to get the strongest possible signal for that channel in your location.

2. Turn the left hand rotary control to scroll through the digital radio frequencies. Stop when the frequency you would like to listen to is displayed. Press the left hand rotary control to 'Select'.

An empty □will appear on the second line of the display to indicate the minimum signal strength for acceptable listening. After a few seconds, the row of solid rectangles will indicate the actual signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to the right the row of solid rectangles will be.

Note: You may need to adjust the aerial or move your radio to get the strongest possible signal.

1. Press and hold the 'Info/Menu' button to return to the station display.

Prune DAB stations

You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot be received in your area. These are listed with a '?' prefix.

I. Press and hold the 'Info/Menu' button on the front of the radio until '' is displayed.

1. Use the left hand rotary control to scroll to ''. Press the left hand rotary control to 'Select'.

3. Press and hold the 'Info/Menu' button to return to the station display.

Storing a DAB station preset

Your radio can store up to 10 DAB stations in its preset memories for instant access to your favourite stations.

DAB display information

When listening to a DAB station you can change the information that will appear on the second line of the display by pressing the 'Info/Menu' button multiple times to select your preferred display information. There are several different types of information that are sent by the broadcaster.

Dynamic Label Segment (DLS)

This is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster. Information could be the name of an artist or music title, DJ's name, contact details for the radio station etc.

Signal strength

The information provided gives details of the signal strength you are receiving. An empty☐ will appear on the second line of the display to indicate the minimum signal strength for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicate the actual signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to the right the row of solid rectangles will be.

Program Type (PTY)

Such as 'Rock', 'Pop', Talk' or 'News'

Multiplex name

Displays the broadcasting area and collection of radio stations on this frequency e.g. BBC National DAB, Digital I Network.

Channel and Frequency eg: 12B 225.64 MHz

Signal error

This is displayed as a number between 0-99. It would not be possible to satisfactorily listen to a ratio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above. Try adjusting the aerial or relocating your radio to improve reception.

Signal information

The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.

Time and date

Supplied by the broadcaster.

I. Repeatedly press and release the 'Info/Menu' button on the front of the radio to cycle through the different information options.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

In DAB mode:

The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each radio station and may be different for the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or classical music or a chat show. The dynamic range control signal is transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each programme and with your radio you can use this control signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal. Changing the dynamic range can

affect the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the programme that you hear so that it will be more suited to your listening conditions and your own personal listening requirements. e.g. in a noisy environment, where quiet sounds might be swamped, setting the compression to maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.

There are 3 levels of compression:

DRC Off - no compression. This is the default setting.

DRC Low - medium compression.

DRC High - maximum compression.

I. Press and hold the 'Info/Menu' button on the front of the radio until is displayed.

1. Use the left hand rotary control to scroll to ‘’. Press the left hand rotary control to ‘Select’. The current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ next to it.

2. Use the left hand rotary control to scroll through the options and press the left hand rotary control to 'Select'.

3. Press and hold the 'Info/Menu' button to return to the station display.

RDS information will often include the station name, detail about the programme and the current time. If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the radio off then this station will be automatically selected when you switch the radio back on.

Telescopic aerial

Please make sure that the aerial on the back of the radio is fully extended and adjusted before you attempt to tune to an FM station (a vertical position is recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound quality.
