Spelling unknown stations

By default, if your radio encounters a station for which it has no speech stored it 
will announce its name as ‘Unknown’, if preferred you can set your radio to spell 
out the name of new or unknown stations by setting this option ‘On’.
1.  Press the Menu button, turn the Tune knob and push to select iVOX.
2.  Select Spell unknown. You see and hear the current state.
3.  Press Tune and turn and push again to switch the option on or off.

Spelling scrolling text

You can set your radio to spell out the scrolling text broadcast by most DAB 
stations.
1.  Hold the Info button down for around three seconds. You hear a beep and 

the scrolling text being spelled out and see a cursor on screen showing the 
position within the text. You hear another beep when the text end is reached.

2.  Turn the Tune knob to pause the speech and step forward (clockwise) or 

back (anti-clockwise) within the text if required and press Tune to start the 
text scrolling again.

3.  Press the Tune knob while text is scrolling to stop the scrolling and return to 

the start of the text.

4. Press the Info or Menu button to exit and switch off scrolling text speech.
