Using The Dab Radio - THOMSON CP284DAB Modo De Empleo

Using the DAB radio

Wire aerial
Please make sure that the antenna is fully extended before you attempt to tune into a DAB station. This
will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the
wire antenna also ensures the best possible sound quality.
DAB Radio mode
Check that your radio is in DAB mode. If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the
'STANDBY/MODE' button to go into DAB mode (check the display).
The first time you use the radio or if the station list is empty, your radio 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.
If you were listening to a DAB station when you switched the radio off then this station will be
automatically selected when you switch the radio back on.
Changing DAB stations
In DAB mode:
1) Press the TUNE+/TUNE- button on the top of the radio to scroll through the available stations.
2) When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed press the SELECT/SCAN button to
confirm. There will be a short delay whilst your radio tunes into your selected station.
Scanning for DAB stations
With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available so it's a good idea to
carry out a manual scan every now and then to make sure that you have the most up to date station
listing stored in your radio's memory. If you have moved your radio to another location, e.g. if you go
on holiday, then it's also a good idea to carry out a manual scan.
If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the 'STANDBY/MODE' button to go to DAB mode.
1) Press and hold the MENU/INFO button until the display changes to <Digital Radio>. And use the
TUNE+/TUNE- button to scroll to <Full Scan>.
2) Press the SELECT/SCAN button to begin a search for stations.
Prune DAB stations
You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot be received in your area. These are
listed with a '?' prefix.
1) Press and hold the Menu/Info button until the display changes to <Digital Radio> and use the
TUNE+/TUNE- button to scroll to 'Prune Invalid'. Press the SELECT/SCAN button to select.
2) Proceed to prune the invalid stations. <NO> Yes' is displayed. Use TUNE+/TUNE- button to scroll
to 'Yes'. Press the SELECT/SCAN button to select and prune the station list. Stations with a '?'
prefix will now no longer be displayed.
Storing a DAB station preset
Your radio can store up to 10 DAB stations in its preset memories for instant access to your favourite
stations.
Note: When you store preset DAB radio stations, these do not overwrite your pre-set FM stations.
1) Tune your radio to the station that you wish to preset.
2) Press and hold the PRESET button on the top of your radio. Then press the TUNE+/TUNE- button
to scroll to the preset location where you would like to store the radio station (1-10).
3) Press the SELECT/SCAN button to select and the display will confirm 'SAVED'.
Note: If there is already an existing preset DAB station, it will be overwritten when you store the new
station.
