DAB Scans

It is necessary for unit to perform a scan to detect all 

available DAB radio stations that can be received.  When 

the unit is switched on for the first time, it will perform an 

automatic DAB scan.

A DAB scan may take a few minutes to complete. Once complete the unit will return to 

normal operation. 

Note: If the power to the unit is interrupted during the DAB scan the scan will need to be 

repeated when the power is restored.

Note: The number of DAB radio stations may vary from area to area.

Should the radio be moved to a different location, or if you wish to check for new 

stations in the future, it will be necessary to perform a manual DAB Scan.  Please refer to 

the “

DAB SCANS

” section below for details.

alphabetically through the names of stations. Touching the 

Enter

 button tunes to the station displayed. 

Note: It is possible for the name of a DAB station to be displayed but for there to be no 

station audible. This may be due to the fact that the station is not being broadcast at that 

time - some stations may only broadcast for a few hours a day.

FM Tuning

Touching the Previous (      ) and Next (      ) buttons tunes 

up or down the frequencies. The unit will automatically 

tune to the chosen frequency.

range to the next available station. Touching 

Enter

 when you see the right pointing 

chevrons will scan up the frequency range to the next available station. Touching 

Enter

 

again will carry on scanning in the same direction. 

Poor Reception

If you experience poor reception it may be that you are in a weak signal area and 

require a better antenna. Please contact your installer for information.

Storing a Preset

 buttons 1-4 can be used to preset to a mix of DAB or FM stations 

and other source.  With a source selected (e.g. Line In) or a radio station tuned (e.g. DAB)

Presets

 buttons until you hear a beep will 

program that button to automatically switch to that source or tune to the current radio
