Frequently Asked Questions - RP 6402 DAB+ GRUNDIG

How do I perform a DAB station search on the Grundig RP 6402 DAB+?

Press DAB/FM to select DAB mode. For a local auto search (Band III 11B-12D), press FULL TUNE briefly. For a full band search (5A-13F), hold FULL TUNE until Scanning... appears. The device will add new stations to the list automatically.

How can I save a DAB or FM station as a preset?

Tune to the desired station, then press and hold one of the PRESET buttons (1–5) until the display shows Preset X saved. Note: saving a station overwrites any previously stored preset on that button.

What are the power options for this radio?

The radio can be powered by 4 x 1.5 V LR20/AM1/D batteries (approx. 30 hours of use) or by the supplied 6 V DC 1000 mA mains adapter. When the adapter is plugged in, batteries are automatically disconnected.

How do I reset the Grundig RP 6402 DAB+ to factory defaults?

In DAB mode, press MENU/INFO repeatedly until ←Station order → appears. Use TUNING to select ←Factory reset →, then press SELECT/SCAN. Confirm by pressing SELECT/SCAN again. This deletes all stored DAB and FM stations.

Can I listen with headphones?

Yes, plug a 3.5 mm stereo headphone into the jack on the left side. The built-in speaker will automatically switch off. Note: prolonged use at high volume may damage hearing.

How do I display station information on the radio?

In DAB mode, press MENU/INFO repeatedly to cycle through: date/time, frequency, bit rate/audio format, signal error, artist/track, programme type, and ensemble name. In FM mode, it shows RDS data: programme type, date/time, frequency/audio format, and signal error.

What is Dynamic Range Control (DRC) and how do I set it?

DRC makes quiet sounds more audible in noisy environments. In DAB mode, press MENU/INFO until ←Station order → appears, then use TUNING to select DRC 0 (off), DRC 1/2, or DRC 1. Press SELECT/SCAN to confirm. Note: the station must support DRC.

How do I clean the radio?

Use a clean, damp leather cloth to wipe the casing. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the surface.

What should I do if the radio is not receiving any DAB stations?

First, fully extend the telescopic antenna. Try a full band search by holding FULL TUNE. If still no stations, move the radio to a different location (near a window or higher) and repeat the search. Some stations may not be available in your area.

How do I switch between DAB and FM modes?

Press the DAB/FM button. The display will briefly show Now tuning... for DAB or FM with the frequency. The radio remembers the last station used in each mode.

SETTINGS

Searching for and saving DAB stations

Your device has a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) input source which enables crystal-clear radio reception in CD quality, i.e. without hissing or crackling.

DAB stations are combined into ensembles (multiplexes) at regional and national levels. An ensemble contains several stations broadcast on the same frequency. One individual station can combine other secondary service components such as live broadcasts or foreign language news.

DAB stations are broadcast on Band III (174.928-239.200 MHz, 5A - 13F).

When the device is used in DAB mode for the first time it performs an automatic station search ("local function") (display: briefly »DAB Digital Radio«, then »Scanning...«). During the search, the first line shows the number of stations found, and the second shows the search scale. At the end of the search, you will hear the first station in alphanumerical order (A to Z, 0 to 9). If no stations are found, »Station not available« appears in the display. The display then changes to a manual station search.

Automatic station search

The device has two automatic station search modes.

1 Press »•FULL TUNE AUTO TUNE« briefly.

• Display: »Scanning...«.
• The device searches for new stations on the bands reserved for local stations (11B - 12D). New stations are added to the station list.

2 Hold down »•FULL TUNE AUTO TUNE« until »Scanning...« appears in the display.

- The device searches the entire DAB band for new stations. New stations are added to the station list.

Manually searching for stations

If the automatic station search is not successful, you can search for DAB stations manually.

←Station order →

←50 174.92MHz →

[ ] TB 190.64MHz

1 Press »•MENU INFO« until »←Station order →« appears on the display.

- New stations are added to the list and can be selected with »▲ TUNING ▼«.

Sorting stations

After the station search, the station list can be arranged in four different ways.

graph TD
    A["←Station order"] --> B["Alphanumeric"]
    B --> C["←Fav station"]

1 Press »•MENU INFO« until »←Station order →« appears in the display.

2 Press » ←Station order→« to confirm the option.

• Display: »Alphanumeric«, above a list of options:
• »◀Fav station →«: The device automatically sorts 10 favourite stations (display »♥«) at the beginning of the station list, depending on the time they are listed to.
• »←Alphanumeric →«: All stations are sorted alphanumerically (default setting).
• »←Active station →«: Active stations are listed first, stations that are not active are shown with a question mark after being selected.
• »←Prune stations →«: Stations that are not active are removed from the station list.

3 Make the setting with »▲ TUNING ▼« and press »SELECT SCAN« to confirm.

Storing DAB stations on the preset buttons
