4.3 Preparing the TECHNIRADIO 5 IR for operation
4.3.1 Connecting the mains adapter
Insert the mains adapter DC plug into the socket marked DC 8V 2A on the back of the TECHNIRADIO 5 IR. Then insert the mains plug into a 100-240V \~ 50/60Hz mains socket.
i Ensure that the operating voltage of the power supply unit matches the mains voltage before you insert it into the wall socket.
Do not operate the device if the power supply unit/cable is defective or if the device is damaged in any other way.
Even when switched off and on standby, the device is still connected to the mains power supply. If you do not intend to use the device for a prolonged period, remove the mains plug from the power outlet. Only pull on the plug, not on the cable.
4.3.2 Aligning the telescopic antenna
The number and quality of the stations to be received depend on the reception conditions at the installation location. Excellent reception can be achieved using the telescopic antenna.
Align the telescopic antenna and extend it.
The exact alignment of the telescopic antenna is often important, in particular at the outskirts of the DAB+ reception area. On the Internet you can quickly find the location of the nearest transmission tower by visiting www.dabplus.de.
i Start the first scan at a window pointing in the direction of the transmission mast. If the weather conditions are poor, DAB+ reception may be limited.
Do not touch the telescopic antenna during station playback. This could compromise the reception and lead to sound dropouts.
4.3.3 Setting up the TECHNIRADIO 5 IR
Place the device on a firm, secure and horizontal base. Make sure the area is well ventilated.
WARNING!
Do not place the radio on soft surfaces such as carpets and blankets, or near to curtains and wall hangings. These could obstruct the ventilation openings. The necessary flow of air could be interrupted as a result. This could potentially lead to fire in the device.
Do not place the device near to sources of heat, such as radiators. Avoid direct sunlight and very dusty environments.
i Please note that the device feet could leave coloured marks on some types of furniture surfaces in certain situations. Place a protective layer between your furniture and the device.
Keep the TECHNIRADIO 5 IR away from devices that emit intense magnetic fields.
Do not place any heavy objects on the device.
Route the mains cable in such a way that nobody can trip over it.
i Ensure that the mains cable or the power supply unit are always easily accessible, so that the device can be quickly disconnected from the power supply! The power outlet should be as close to the device as possible. Avoid using multiple sockets!
In the case of malfunctions or detecting smoke or odour from the housing, remove the plug from the power outlet immediately!
