Battery Level 

If the receiver is operating on batteries, the battery level will be displayed, 
as a bar. The longer the bar, the more life is left in the batteries. 

 

If the receiver is operating on mains power, this message will be displayed:

 

 

Note

: If the battery level is getting low, then the Power LED will start to flash. switch off the receiver 

and replace the batteries as soon as possible 

Changing between DAB and FM mode will automatically change the display information to the first 
item on the list for the selected mode.  E.g. Moving from FM operation to DAB operation will 
automatically select the Normal (DLS Text) information for display on Line 2. 

 

Autotune 

When “No Dab Service” is shown in the display, Press the Autotune button 
perform a scan of the DAB Band 3 UK spectrum and create a new Station 
List of all available DAB stations currently broadcasting. This process 
usually takes around 15-20 seconds searching the range (11B-12D) used in 

the UK During this process, the display will show how many stations have 
been found, and on what “channel” they were found: The number of 
stations found varies greatly dependant on the area in which the receiver is 
located not all stations are available in all areas  

Once the autotune function has completed the receiver will tune to the first 
station in the Station List. 

A required station can then be selected using either the “Prev” /”Next” or the 
“Up”, “Down”, “Select” buttons as described later in this manual. 

 

If the radio has been moved, or should additional stations need to be added to the station list, the 
“Autotune” function can be used at any time. 

Tip: If taking the unit outside try another Autotune once 

clear of buildings, this may add further receivable stations to the station list. 

Important Note: During the scan process you may find the unit indicates it has found more stations 
than the number that appear in the station list , the additional stations that are picked up could be 
either  

a.  Secondary stations that are accessed via the secondary button (see later notes) or  

b.  Data services provided on DAB which cannot be used on this unit
