IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DAB+ RECEPTION
DAB+ radio reception is different from FM radio reception.
• In FM, you can often still receive a weak station, but probably
with a rustling or crackling sound.
• DAB + reception works digitally and if there is not enough signal
you hear nothing. No hiss or crackle as with FM. This is not due
to the radio, but to the fact that there is not enough DAB+ signal
at that location.
• DAB + rule is: no or weak reception = no sound.
What can you do if you do not have direct DAB+ reception.
• Always point the antenna straight up vertically first.
• Do not place the radio too close to potential sources of
interference such as, battery chargers, rotating machinery,
computers, large metal surfaces, etc.
• Move the radio a few meters.
• Turn on the radio and activate a full scan in the DAB+ menu
• In the display of the radio you will see the progress of the scan
and the number of stations found in the current position of the
radio.
Important
• With DAB+ reception, there can be a very big difference in
reception level between one location and "a few meters away".
In case of a local weak DAB+ signal, move the radio to find a
stronger signal.
• If you take the radio to another location, perform a full scan
again. This will show you which DAB+ stations can be received
there.
