Selecting a station

Once you have tuned your unit you may select the digital radio station you want to listen by
using the Up and Down button. If you have assigned stations to presets you can also
select them directly by pressing the relevant numbered button(1-10).
1. The top line of the display shows the name of the currently selected station. Press the

Up and Down buttons to see the names of other stored stations on the bottom line of
the display. Stop when you find the station to which you want to listen.

2. Press the Select button to listen to the station you have selected. The display may

show 'Now tuning..' Briefly as it finds the new station.

next

to the station name on the station list and they will appear after the primary service as
you press the Up and Down buttons.
A secondary service will display

before the station name on the station list

indicating that it belongs to the primary service before it in the list.
If the station has ' ?' Before its name the service is currently inactive or invalid. If you
select a station which has this symbol the unit tries to tune to that station. If still
unavailable 'Service not avail' or 'Service off-air' will be displayed and the unit will
attempt to tune to an alternative station. A flashing cursor will indicate that this is in
progress. If you want to try to manually tune to this station you have five seconds
during which to press the Up and Down buttons and the manual tuning bar will be
displayed so that you can adjust your aerial.
