3 Product Set Up Where to put your radio It is important that you consider carefully in advance where your radio will be situated and make sure that it is: * on a flat and stable surface * within 1.8 metres of a power socket * where you can fully extend the telescopic aerial * away from bright sunlight or heat sources, such as a radiator * not in a humid or very damp place such as a bathroom Setting up Step 1: Connect the mains power lead into the socket on the bottom left of the back of the radio and fully extend the radio aerial in a vertical position to obtain the maximum signal strength. Note: Only use the power supply provided. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your warranty and may damage your radio. Step 2: Plug the power adaptor into the mains power wall socket and switch on. Welcome to Digital Radio will be displayed. Step 3: Press the Power button on the front of the radio. The first time you switch your radio on it will automatically begin to scan for DAB+ radio stations. A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed. 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 6. Step 4: Inserting the batteries (optional). Before installing the batteries (not included) please ensure that the Radio is unplugged from the mains power supply. On the back of the radio, push the two tabs on the battery compartment down and remove the battery cover. Insert 4 x 1.5V LR14 C-size batteries, making sure to note the + and - markings and position the batteries the correct way around. Replace the battery cover, making sure it clicks shut. 3

4 Note: For battery operation, please switch off the mains adaptor and remove the mains power plug from the back of the radio. Only use the recommended batteries or those of the same equivalent type. Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity. The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. Remove the batteries from the radio if they will not be used for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Dispose of old batteries carefully. Never throw batteries in a fire or attempt to open the outer casing. Batteries are harmful if swallowed, so keep away from young children. Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire. CAUTION: Danger of overheating or fire if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. 4
