Troubleshooting

 

DAB radio mode

Check that your Boombox is in DAB radio mode.  If you are not already in DAB mode, 
briefly press and release the Power/Mode button on the front of the Boombox, until you 
are in DAB mode (check the display). 

The first time you use the Boombox or if the station list is empty, your Boombox will 
automatically begin to scan for DAB radio stations.  A progress bar will show the progress 
of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed. 

When the scan is complete your Boombox will select the first available station and begin 
to play. Stations are listed in numerical and then alphabetical order by default. 

Telescopic radio aerial

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

Changing DAB stations

In DAB mode: 

1. 

Use the Rotary tune wheel to move through the available stations. 

2. 

When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed, you can wait a short 
while and your Boombox will tune to your displayed station or you can press and 
release the Select button.

Scanning for DAB stations

With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available so it’s a good 
idea to carry out a manual scan every now and then to make sure that you have the most 
up to date station listing stored within the memory of your Boombox. 

If you have moved your Boombox to another location, e.g.: if you go on holiday, then it’s 
also a good idea to carry out a manual scan. 

In DAB mode: 

1. 

Press and release the Scan/Repeat button on the Boombox to begin a search for 
stations.  The display will change to ‘Scanning...’.  A progress bar will show the progress 
of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed. 

Prune DAB stations

You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot be received in your area.  
These are listed with a ‘?’ prefix. 

1. 

Press and hold the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.  Use the Rotary tune 
wheel to move to <Prune>.  Press and release the Select button.  

1. 

‘Prune? Yes <No> ’ is displayed.  Use the Rotary tune wheel to move to ‘<Yes>’.  Press 
and release the Select button to prune the station list.  Stations with a ‘?’ prefix will now 
no longer be displayed. 

2. 

Press and release the Menu/Info button to exit from the Menu. 

Storing a DAB station preset

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

1. 

Tune the Boombox to the DAB radio station that you wish to preset.

2. 

Press and hold the Preset button for approximately 2 seconds until ‘Preset Store’ is 
displayed.

3. 

Use the Rotary tune wheel to move to the preset location that you would like to store 
the radio station to (1-10).

4. 

Press and release the Select button. The display will confirm ‘Preset X stored’, where ‘X’ 
is the number of the preset (1-10). 

Note:

 If there is already an existing DAB station stored under a preset, it will be over 

written when you store the new station.
