Tabletop Clock Radio
Unavailable Digital Signal/Loss of Digital Signal
If the HD Pulse Tabletop Clock Radio incurs a loss of digital HD Radio signal, the radio
mode will automatically change to analog radio mode.
If a station’s multicast service is interrupted while playing, the HD Pulse Tabletop Clock
Radio will display: CHANNEL NO LONGER AVAILABLE and switch to the main station
program.
NOTE: If a multicast station saved to a preset is chosen when the multicast station
is not available or looses signal, the HD Pulse Tabletop Clock Radio will
switch to the radio station’s main broadcast station.
HD Radio Delay
To overcome the delay that digital systems inherently produce, HD Radio technology first
uses a station’s analog signal to quickly tune to an AM or FM station. After approximately
five seconds, the audio will then blend from the station’s analog to digital HD Radio signal.
Normally, this blending from analog to digital signals is very smooth. When the changeover
is smooth, the radio station has implemented the HD Radio broadcast correctly. However, if
the station has not, you may experience a skip in program content of several seconds. This
is not a problem with your HD Pulse Tabletop Clock Radio. This is an HD Radio
broadcaster’s issue. This will be corrected by the station over time. Today’s analog
programming is only present on the main channel. Should you tune directly to an HD Radio
station’s digital multicast channel, the HD Pulse Tabletop Clock Radio will take
approximately five seconds to begin playing. This is normal operation.
