Using your DAB FM radio

Using your DAB FM radio

Let’s get started

Time and date

The first time you listen to DAB radio, the time and date of your product will be 
synchronised automatically to that broadcast by the DAB service in 24 hour mode; which 
is in line with daylight saving, so there is no need to set the time and date manually.

If you do wish to set the time and date manually, turn on the radio and follow the steps 
below:

1. 

Press and hold the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.

2. 

Press and release the Next button to scroll to System Settings.  Press and release the 
Select button. 

3. 

Press and release the Next button to scroll to Time/Date.  Press and release the Select 
button.  Set Time/Date is displayed.  Press and release the Select button.

4. 

The day will flash.  Press and release the Prev or Next button to scroll to the correct 
day.  Press and release the Select button.

5. 

The month will flash.  Press and release the Prev or Next button to scroll to the correct 
month.  Press and release the Select button. 

6. 

The year will flash. Press and release the Prev or Next button to scroll to the correct 
year.  Press and release the Select button. 

7. 

The hour digits will flash.  Press and release the Prev or Next button to scroll to the 
correct hour.  Press and release the Select button.

8. 

The minutes will now flash. Press and release the Prev or Next button to scroll to the 
correct minutes.  Press and release the Select button.  ‘Time Saved’ is displayed and 
the display returns to the Time/Date options. 

You can now use the Prev and Next buttons, together with the Select button, as you did to 
set the time and date to change the settings for:  

•  Auto Update to update the time from the DAB signal, FM signal, DAB or FM signal or 

no update. 

•  Set 12/24 Hour clock display 

•  Set Date Format, DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY
