Using your Retro DAB/FM Radio

Let’s get started

Using your Retro DAB/FM Radio

Let’s get started

FM Radio mode

•  If you are not already in FM mode, turn the Mode control to go to FM mode (check the 

display).

Telescopic aerial

Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before you attempt to tune to a FM 
station (a vertical position is recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal 
strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the 
best possible sound quality.

Tuning to an FM station

Turn the Tune/Select control to scroll through the FM frequency band.  Alternatively, you 
can:

•  Short press the Scan button to scan up the frequency band. 

•  Long press the Scan button to scan down the frequency band. 

Note:

 If reception is still poor try adjusting the aerial or moving the radio to another 

location.

Changing the Scan setting

In FM mode:

1. 

Long press the Menu button, <Scan setting> will be displayed. Short press the Tune/
Select control. 

The current Scan setting will have an ‘*’ in the display. 

There are two different options to choose from: 

Strong stations:

   The scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is received which 

should also result in a better audio quality. It is possible that the station 
you are scanning for may be missed using this option. 

All stations:

 

 The scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength 
is poor.

2. 

Use the Tune/Select control to choose from the two options available and press to 
Select.

Audio mode

The radio will automatically switch between Stereo and Mono, depending on the quality 
of the signal being received but you can override this function and manually switch 
between Stereo and Mono. 

1. 

Long press the Menu button to enter the menu options.

 

2. 

Use the Tune/Select control to scroll to <Audio setting>. Press to Select.  

There are now two different options of <Forced mono> and <Stereo allowed> and the 
current setting will have an ‘*’ in the display. 

3. 

Use the Tune/Select control to choose from the two options available and press to 
Select.

Storing an FM station preset

Your radio can store up to 10 FM stations in its preset memories for instant access to your 
favourite stations.

Note:

 When you store FM radio station presets, these do not overwrite your DAB 

station presets. 

1. 

Tune the Radio to the FM radio station that you wish to preset.

2. 

Long press the Preset button for approximately 2 seconds until Preset Store 
<1:(Empty)> is displayed.
