Portable DAB/FM Radio

Using the FM Radio

If the Portable DAB/FM Radio is in DAB mode, press the 

DAB/FM

button to select FM mode. Yo u may hear background noise as no 
station has been tuned in. The 

DISPLAY

 will look something like this:

Automatic Tuning

1. Press and release the 

SCAN

button to automatically search for the 

next available station.

‘Searching...’ will appear on the 

DISPLAY

 as the Radio scans up 

the frequencies (see below).

2. If the reception is poor, briefly press the 

SCROLL UP

 or 

SCROLL

DOWN

 button to fine tune the station. 

If the reception does not improve, try altering the position of the 
aerial.

If the reception is still poor, scan again to determine whether a 
stronger signal exists for the desired frequency.

3. When you have tuned into the desired frequency/station, you can 

save it in one of the ten preset locations, as described on page 20.

NOTE: 

If the Radio is switched off in FM mode it will always

resume  in  DAB  mode,  in  last  selected  station,  when
switched back on.

NOTE: 

When  you  scan  through  conventional  FM

frequencies,  the  stations  are  detected  based  upon  the
strength of the signal. Automatic FM scans may detect very
noisy or distorted stations - it may be necessary to re-scan,
adjust  the  aerial/radio  position  or  fine-tune  the  signal  to
achieve the best results.
