4. With the radio connected to a mains supply move the charge switch to its ON position. The
Charge red LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when this switch is in the ON
position.
5. After approximately 15 hours move the charge switch to its OFF position. The charge indicator
will extinguish and charging of the batteries will no longer take place.
6. Remove the mains cable from the side of the radio to operate the radio from the batteries.
Reconnecting of the mains cable to the radio will bypass the batteries.
Note: The charge current in this player has been optimised for over night charging of NI-MH
rechargeable batteries. Nicad batteries can be used but the charge time will need to be reduced.
DAB Overview
DAB Radio tuning is very different to traditional analogue radio tuning. In DAB mode the user is not
required to know anything about station frequencies.
Instead an organised list of the DAB radio stations receivable in the current location is created by the
radio. This list is initially organised into alphabetical order (by the first letter of the station name only).
The “Autotune” function is the system that the DAB radio uses to create this list of available stations.
This list would be organised in the following way :-
TOPA-Example Station>B-Example Station>C-Example Station>D-Example Station>
E-Example Station>F-Example Station>G-Example Station>H-Example Station Bottom
After Autotune has completed the radio will automatically tune to the top station in the Station List. In
the fictional Station List above this would be “A-Example Station”.
This radio provides two different ways of selecting stations from the list it has created.
Using the “Up”, “Down”, and “Select” buttons – as described later in this manual
Using the “Prev” and “Next” buttons – as described later in this manual.
When using these buttons to select stations the list is cyclic. Using the above list as an example this
means that if the selection continues down past “H-Example Station” the next station presented will
be “A-Example Station”.
If the same thing is done in the opposite direction i.e. the selection continues up past “A-Example
Station” the next station presented will be “H-Example Station”
NOTE
There is one condition where the Station List is not sorted into alphabetical order.
This is when the “Sort by Favourites” option is switched ON using the “Menu” button as described
later in this manual. However the default setting for the unit at initial Power up is as described above
