Bad quality of reception
If no stations are found during a search or the message "No reception" is frequently displayed
when playing favourites, this can have several causes.
■
No external antenna is connected to the device:
– The device is equipped with an internal antenna. This is sufficient when the reception is
of high quality. However, if the reception is bad, an external antenna is recommended,
such as a cable antenna. For the connection of an external antenna, see chapter 7.5.3
“Antenna“ on page 25.
■
An external antenna is connected. The antenna mode is set on "Internal" in the device.
– In this case the external antenna is not used by the device. Set the antenna mode of the
device on "External", see chapter 9.3.34 “Menu "Settings" - "Antenna"“ on page 88.
■
No external antenna is connected. The internal antenna is being used. The antenna mode is
set on "External" in the device.
– In this case the internal antenna is not used by the device. Set the antenna mode of the
device on "Internal", see chapter 9.3.34 “Menu "Settings" - "Antenna"“ on page 88.
■
The external antenna is not ideally positioned.
– The position of the external antenna can have a decisive effect on the quality of the
reception. The optimum position of the external antenna can only be determined locally
by means of testing. Keep changing the position of the external antenna until the
reception is of the right quality.
■
The device is at a location where there is no reception.
– In this case an external antenna must be connected in an area that is located where
there is reception. For the connection of an external antenna, see chapter 7.5.3
“Antenna“ on page 25.

“Menu "Settings - "Maximum volume"“ on page 79.
The alarm signal is low
■

The time cannot be set
■

updated. Then to set the time, switch to the favourites of a radio station and back again
after a brief moment.
