When the scan is complete your radio will select the first available station and begin to play. 
Stations are listed in numerical and then alphabetical order by default. 
Note:  The DAB radio station list is stored in the memory and  so the next time you switch your 
radio on, the station search does not take place.  It is possible to scan manually for stations.  
Please see page 9.

Time and date

The first time you listen to DAB radio, the time and date of your product will be synchronised 
automatically to that broadcast by the DAB service in 24 hour mode; which is in line with 
daylight saving, so there is no need to set the time and date manually. 
If you do wish to set the time and date manually, please see page 16.

Charging the integral battery

Your DAB radio has an integral rechargeable battery and there is no need to buy additional 
batteries to use this product. 
When you plug in your radio and slide the switch on the back to ‘On’, the battery charging 
icon above the display on the right hand side, will also switch on to show that the Radio 
battery is charging. 
When the battery is fully charged, the battery charging icon will go out.  
After a full battery charge, If used continuously on battery power, your Radio has an 
approximate battery life of 8 hours.
When the battery power is low, ‘Battery low’ will be displayed and the low battery icon 
will also light up.  Please switch off the Radio and reconnect to the mains power supply to 
recharge the battery. 
Note:  We recommend that when you are using the Radio on battery power, you select to 
display the battery status on the bottom line of the display.  Repeatedly press and release the 
‘Menu’ button on the top of the Radio to cycle through the information options until the battery 
status is displayed
