Safety

Warning

Never remove the casing of this clock radio. Never lubricate any part of this clock radio. Never place this clock radio on other electrical

equipment. Keep this clock radio away from direct sunlight, naked

flames or heat. Make sure that you always have easy access to the

power cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect the clock radio from the power.

Read and follow these instructions. Make sure that there is enough free space

around the product for ventilation. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel. Servicing is required when the clock radio has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the clock radio, the clock radio has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Use only power supplies listed in the user manual.

Unplug this product during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Battery usage CAUTION To prevent battery leakage which may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the remote control: Install the battery correctly, + and - as

marked on the remote control. Do not mix batteries (old and new or

carbon and alkaline, etc.).

Remove the battery when the remote control is not used for a long time.

The battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not place any sources of danger on the product (e.g. liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Where the plug of the Direct Plug-in Adapter is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume. Using headphones at a high volume can

impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level: Set your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can

hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time: Prolonged exposure to sound, even

at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause hearing loss.

3EN

Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. Listen at reasonable volumes for

reasonable periods of time. Be careful not to adjust the volume as your

hearing adapts. Do not turn up the volume so high that

you can't hear what's around you. You should use caution or temporarily

discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Note

The type plate is located on the back of the device.

Perform initial setup When the radio is powered on for the first time, the [Setup wizard] appears on the display panel. Follow the instructions below to configure some basic settings. To listen to Internet radio, you need to set up Wi-Fi connection first. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard created by Wi-Fi Alliance for easy establishment of secure wireless home network. If your wireless router supports WPS, you can quickly and securely connect the radio to the router through one of the two setup methods: Push Button Configuration (PBC), or Personal Identification Number (PIN). For those that do not support WPS, you have another option to connect the radio to the wireless router.

Note

5 Listen to DAB radio

About DAB About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network of terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners with more choice and information delivered in crystal clear, crackle- free sound quality. The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it can find. With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned by station name, so there's no returning on the move. What is a multiplex? Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called a multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spectrum, such as Band III for DAB broadcasts. DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and audio data services. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic Label Segments (DLS).This is data which you can read as scrolling text on your DAB radio display. Some stations transmit the latest news, travel, and weather, what's on now and next, website addresses and phone numbers. For more information on digital radio coverage and services, please visit: www.drdb.org.

Tune to DAB radio stations The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is empty, the radio performs a full scan automatically. Press SOURCE repeatedly to select [DAB

radio] mode. [Scanning] is displayed. The radio scans and stores all the DAB

radio stations automatically, and then broadcasts the first available station.

The station list is memorized in the radio. Next time when you turn on the radio, the station scan does not take place.

To tune to a station from the available station list: In DAB mode, press / repeatedly

to navigate through the available DAB stations.

Tip

The stations may change from time to time. To update the station list, select the [Scan] menu to perform full scan.
