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

Tune to the desired station. Press and hold Preset until 'Preset Store <1: (Empty)>' appears. Use the Tune/Select control to choose a preset number (1–10) and press to confirm. Up to 10 presets each for DAB and FM can be stored separately.

Why is the radio reception poor and how can I improve it?

Fully extend the telescopic aerial (vertical for DAB). Try moving the radio away from other electrical devices (at least 1 m). Perform a manual Scan (press Scan button) to refresh the station list. If problem persists, try a Factory Reset (Menu > System > Factory Reset) or visit www.argos-support.co.uk.

What type of batteries does the radio use and how long do they last?

The radio uses 4 x 1.5V C-size (LR14) batteries (not supplied). With good quality alkaline batteries, battery life is approximately 5 hours of continuous use. When 'Battery Low' appears, replace all batteries.

How do I reset the radio to factory defaults?

Press and hold Menu/Info to enter menu. Use Tune/Select to scroll to System then Factory Reset. Select Yes to confirm. This will erase all presets and settings. The radio will restart and enter standby mode.

What is the difference between DAB and FM modes?

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) offers digital-quality sound, automatic station listing, and extra information (track name, signal strength etc.). FM provides analog radio with RDS (Radio Text). Press Mode to switch between the two. In DAB, stations are listed numerically/alphabetically; FM tunes by frequency.

How can I see what information is displayed on the screen?

Repeatedly press Menu/Info to cycle through available info.

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

DRC compresses or expands the difference between loud and quiet sounds (only in DAB mode). Press and hold Menu/Info to enter menu, scroll to DRC in DAB settings. Choose from Off (no compression), Low (medium), or High (maximum). Select and press Menu/Info to return. This helps in noisy environments.

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.

Fully extend the aerial to get the best reception and sound quality.

Retune for radio stations, see pages 22 and 27.

Try moving your radio to another location to see if reception improves.

Check that you do not have other electrical equipment too close to your Radio, causing interference.
