DAB or Digital Audio Broadcasting represents a new age in broadcasting technology and as with all
new technologies it is significantly different to traditional Analogue FM/AM broadcast methods. The
new system no longer relies on tuning to a given frequency but instead allows the DAB receiver to
provide an active Station List of all available radio programmes/stations at the touch of one button.
Station Lists are described in more detail in the DAB Operation section of this manual.
Before selecting the DAB function for the first time please ensure the telescopic rod aerial is fully
extended and upright.
1. Connect the unit to the household mains supply or insert 4 D size batteries(not Supplied)
2. Press the Power button on the front panel
3. The unit will automatically start a scan of the DAB services and after 15 to 20 seconds the first
station in the Station List will begin to playback
NOTE: At this stage it is possible that the display may show “No DAB service” on the first line of the
display and “Check Aerial?” on the second line of the display. This indicates the unit has
been unable to locate any available DAB stations during the search process.
This may be due to :-
a. No DAB stations in the local area Check with the DRDB at or
call the reception Helpline on 08707 747474
b. The radio needs relocating to a better location in order to get adequate reception.
The signal strength indication (See Display button operation) can be used to
assist this process.
4. Assuming there is now a Station List available the other stations on the list can be located
a. Directly - use the Next /Previous buttons or
b. Indirectly (i.e. listen to the current station until the required next station is
shown on the bottom line of the 2 line display) use the Up/down buttons then
press the select button (pressing and holding the up or down button will scroll
the list at a faster rate)
5. Use the Volume control to increase or decrease the sound output level as required.
