DAB1001 User Guide

Introduction
The DAB1001 is a wireless interface that offers a flexible and cost effective way to listen to
digital radio via your existing in-car audio system.
Your present AM/FM system can be easily upgraded to receive DAB/DAB+ digital radio services
using an FM-RDS micro-transmitter and without the addition of complex cabling. The DAB1001
DAB receiver is operated using a remote control, while all messages related to the system’s
operations, such as service names, memory presets etc., are converted to RDS text and
displayed on the LCD screen of your in-car audio system. The flexible configuration options of
DAB1001 make it easy to install in a range of car makes and models.
In areas of high FM usage, the DAB1001 may need its broadcast frequency changed to avoid
interference. DAB1001 uses its AFD (Automatic Frequency Detection) function, allowing you to
continuously listen to your favourite DAB programs through your car system, without the need to
change the FM frequency manually. Consult your car radio manual to find if your car radio has
an AF (Alternate Frequency) function and how it can be enabled.
If this AF function is not built in to your car radio, the DAB1001 has an Autoscan function that
can automatically scan for 3 useable FM frequencies. These can be synchronised with the in-
car system to allow for consistent reception.
The DAB1001 also provides a 3.5mm jack auxiliary input to allow another music source to play
on the in-car system. This function requires an additional cable.
Note:
DAB1001 must operate with an RDS car radio in order to properly display the relevant system
message on the in-car radio display.
