General

Do not allow this radio to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave

your radio where excessive heat could cause damage. It is recommended

that the DAB band be used wherever possible as better results in terms

of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on

the FM band.

• The name plate is located on the underside of your sound system.

IMPORTANT:

The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the sound system

to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the sound system

must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the

sound system from the mains completely, the mains plug should be

removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

• The sound system shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and

that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on

the radio.

• It is recommended to operate the product such that there is a minimum

distance (10cm recommended) to adjacent objects in order to ensure

good ventilation.

• The ventilation of the product should not be restricted by covering it or

its ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table-cloths,

curtains etc.

• No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed on

the product.

• It is recommended to avoid using or storing the product at extremes

of temperature. Avoid leaving the unit in cars, on window sills in direct

sunlight etc.

• The sound system must be used in a moderate climate.

Using an alternative aerial

Your sound system comes with a wire aerial which should be arranged

vertically behind the unit for best DAB reception. With reasonable signal

conditions this will be sufficient for good reception. However, if the signal

at the chosen location for the radio is very poor, it may be that reception

would benefit from an external aerial.

1. To remove the supplied aerial, first disconnect the unit from the

mains.

2. Then remove the small cover panel on the right hand side of the unit.

This is secured with two screws.

3. A special aerial removal tool is supplied with your sound system. Pass

the wire of the aerial through the tool, and then insert the tool into the

recess beneath the cover.

4. Turn the tool anti-clockwise to disconnect the aerial. This reveals a

standard F-type socket on to which an alternative aerial feed may be

connected.

5. Reverse the procedure if you wish to re-attach the supplied aerial.
