What is Digital Radio?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the next generation of radio. DAB was developed
in Europe by a consortium of broadcasters and manufacturers.
DAB uses digital compression techniques to transform the source material, i.e. music
and speech, into digital computer code before it is transmitted. The computer code
consists of electronic ‘ones and zeros’ called binary digits or bits. The binary code is
then multiplexed or grouped together to create a superior signal, when compared
with the older analogue system, with the following key benefits:
• Near CD quality sound.
Because DAB is binary coded, the receiving equipment is only expecting to receive a
series of ones and zeros, so any other interference is ignored, resulting in very high
quality audio.
• Interference free reception.
Analogue systems suffer from an effect called ‘multipath distortion’. This is caused
because radio waves do not behave in an orderly fashion, but bounce and reflect off
buildings and mountains etc. DAB sees this as an advantage and uses the direct and
reflected signals to actually reinforce the end result.
• No need to re-tune.
A single DAB frequency can be used to cover the whole of the UK, so solving many
of the problems experienced with the earlier analogue system.
• Scolling text
Broadcasters can transmit text to your radio. This way you can read the name of the
DJ, artist, song title or any other information that is broadcast.
• DAB coverage
Check your local coverage at www.ukdigitalradio.com, to check if you are in a DAB
broadcast area.

Getting Started
Carefully remove your DAB Radio from the box. You may wish to store the
packaging for future use.
1
Positioning your radio
Place your radio on a flat / stable surface that is not subject to vibrations.
Avoid the following locations:
•Where the radio will be exposed to direct sunlight.
•Where the radio will be close to heat radiating sources.
•Where the humidity is high and ventilation is poor.
•Where it is dusty.
•Where it is damp or there is a possibility of water dripping or splashing
onto unit.
•For sufficient ventilation, keep other objects at least 10 cm away from
the unit.
2
Adjusting the Aerial
For FM mode the aerial should be extended to ensure you receive the
best reception possible. For DAB mode it may be necessary to alter the
position of the radio to achieve the best signal.
DON’T FORGET!
Make sure the aerial is at full length for good FM reception.
Headphones
The radio has a headphone output for private listening. To use the
headphone output you require headphones fitted with a 3.5 mm diameter
stereo plug. The headphone jack is located on the back panel of the radio.
Headphones are not supplied.

DAB Display Modes
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of
compression to compensate for the
differences in the dynamic range
between radio stations.
For example, a station broadcasting
popular music may have a high level
of compression applied since the
emphasis is on a constant high listening
level. Whereas a station broadcasting
classical music will have little or no
compression as the listener requires all
of the highs and lows in the music to
define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
DRC off = No compression applied
DRC high = Maximum compression
applied
DRC low = Low compression applied
The best way to determine which of
these settings suits you best is to
experiment with them on a variety of
source material.
11. Press the MENU Button to access

General Safety
This Digital Clock Radio is
labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (Waste
Electrical and Electronic
Equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the
framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances.
Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you
and to us, so please take care when
using this Digital Clock Radio. It is
strongly recommended that you follow
the listed guidelines in order to prevent
possible damage or loss of hearing.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to
continuous loud sounds and will give
the impression that the volume has in
fact been reduced. What seems normal
to you may in fact be harmful. To guard
against this before your hearing
adapts, set the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you
can hear comfortably and clearly
and without distortion. Damage to
your hearing is accumulative and is
irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort
in the ears indicates that the volume is
too loud.
Once you have established a
comfortable listening level, do not
increase the sound level.
