7.1 Scanning for Stations, Selecting Stations and Now Playing Information
The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is empty, the unit automatically performs a
full scan to see what stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list
of stations for one of the following reasons:
l
Available stations change from time to time.
l
If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the antenna was not up),
this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.
l
If you have poor reception of some stations (burbling), you may wish to list only stations
with good signal strength.
To start a scan manually, select Menu >
Scan
.
Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list of available stations.
To remove stations that are listed but unavailable, select Menu >
Prune invalid
