USING THE DAB TUNER

The display will read searching and you will see a moving bargragh on line 

1 which indicates the progression of this tuning operation. As this process  

completes numbers will be shown in the top right hand corner of the display 

showing the DAB channels scanned.

correct. It is possible to attempt to tune the CDAB-1 manually if no stations 

are found after an autoscan.

secondary menu. The first option will be displayed as manual tune, press 

the rotary control knob to activate manual tune procedure. Use the rotary 

control knob to scroll through channels, the LCD screen will show the 

channel number and allocated frequency. From this position press the rotary 

control knob to manually tune to the channel displayed on the LCD, the 

CDAB-1 will tune to the station on this channel if it is available.

 

Following manual tuning, if no DAB radio stations can be received, please 

check that adequate DAB coverage exists in your area (see page 2 on 

checking for coverage information).   

GETTING STARTED

When you unpack the tuner from the box, all settings will be at default 

values. These can be altered according to your listening tastes; new 

settings will be retained within the memory of the tuner and will remain set 

even after switching the system off.

Once you have made all the necessary connections to the DAB tuner, you 

are now ready to start listening to the DAB radio experience.

When you turn on the tuner, the display will show the following message for 

4 seconds:

WELCOME TO

Full Scan

Following this the tuner will then enter the auto scan mode as the DAB tuner 

locates digital radio stations within your area.

It is not possible to interrupt this sequence as the tuner needs to have at 

least one digital station to build a station list, and it will continue to scan until 

at least one service has been located.
