SETTING PRESETS

10

The SP110 is fi tted with 4 preset buttons which can store DAB stations of your choice for one- 

button recall operation.

Please note that if you decide to store a secondary level DAB station, there is a possibility that 

this station will only be broadcast periodically, and may not have station content when you return 

to this preset in the future. If this is the case the LCD display will read ‘Station not available’, and 

it will be necessary to retune to an alternative station.

To store a preset:   1) Tune the SP110 to the station required.

 

 

2) Decide which preset you want to store this station on.

 

 

3) Hold down this preset for a period longer than 2 seconds.   

   

 

4) LCD display will read ‘Preset saved’

If a preset does not have a station allocated to it, the LCD will read ‘Empty preset’ if this button 

is pressed.

Please also refer to page 12 for instructions on using the 

favourite station

 setting to infl uence 

the preset locations.
