Getting started

Radio – Connecting and starting up

Connect the network cable to a properly installed and easily accessible network socket. The power supply unit is suitable for mains voltages between 100 and 240 V, and is thus operable on almost any AC power grid. Please note that a country-specific adapter may be necessary. You can find a selection of compatible products at www.hama.com.

Note

Once the product has been connected to mains power, initialisation takes place. The radio starts.

After startup, the radio is in standby mode and can be switched on with the [] button.

Note

When the radio is switched on, it immediately begins searching for any receivable DAB stations. Please wait until this search is completed. Once the search is completed, playback begins of the first station in the list.

Initial setup/language settings

At initial startup, the language of the radio defaults to English. To change the language, please proceed as follows:

• Press [] to access the settings menu.
• Turn [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to navigate to the "System Settings" menu item.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/ NAVIGATE].
• Turn [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to get to the "Language" menu item. Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].
• Turn [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to select your desired system language.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/ NAVIGATE].

Operation modes (FM/DAB&DAB+/AUX IN)

This device is equipped with a module for receiving analogue radio via VHF/FM and digital radio via DAB/DAB+. Alternatively, it can play back audio received at its 3.5-mm audio jack.
Press [] repeatedly to select the desired audio source.

Digital radio (DAB/DAB+)

Display mode

Note

The display mode can be changed only from the playback screen.

If a station broadcasts image content (slideshow content/ SLS) in addition to general information (RDS), you can choose between three different display modes during playback. Press [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to change the display mode.

Station list

Note

The station list contains all of the stations found during the most recent station search run. The reception quality of a station depends on various factors, including the weather conditions, the location of the radio and the orientation of the antenna. If a station in the station list cannot be received, try changing the orientation of the antenna or moving the radio to a different location. If a station cannot be received, consult section Inactive stations/cleaning up the station list to find out how to remove it from the station list.

If the automatic station search run was completed upon initial startup of the radio, it is not necessary to search for any further stations.

• Press [] and choose the "Station list" menu item.
• Press [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to get to the current station list (sorted alphabetically).
• Turn [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to navigate through the list.
• Press [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to select the desired station and begin playback.

Station search / find all stations

• Press [] and navigate to the "Find all stations" menu item to initiate a new station search.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE]. Please wait until this search is completed.

Inactive stations/cleaning up the station list

Inactive stations that can no longer be received may be removed from the list.

• To do this, press [] and navigate to the "Inactive stations" menu item.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/ NAVIGATE].
• At the safety check that follows, select "Yes" and confirm by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].
• Press [] or select "No" at the safety check to cancel removing the station.

Note

To keep the station list current, we recommend regularly updating the list by finding all stations (see section Station search / find all stations).

Adjusting the volume/dynamic range control (DRC)

Some DAB network radio stations support a volume control feature that actively takes effect during playback. If the volume suddenly increases, DRC automatically lowers it. If the volume suddenly becomes quieter, DRC automatically raises it. The same happens when playback is suddenly quiet. The radio then increases the volume again.

DRC high: total equalisation of different volumes. Strong compression can audibly reduce the dynamics of a piece of music.
DRC low: partial equalisation of different volumes. More subtle compression, without too much loss of dynamics.
DRC off: no equalisation.

To change the setting, proceed as follows:

Note

By default, DRC volume adjustment is disabled.

• Press [] and navigate to the "Volume adjustment" menu item.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].
• Select the desired option and confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].

Analogue radio (FM/VHF)

Setting the station manually

When you make station settings manually, you can define the desired frequency yourself and tune into stations that were ignored during automatic station search because their signals were too weak.

• In FM mode, press [] to switch back and forth between volume control and station selection.
• Select the "Select station" menu item and confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].
• Turn [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] (left: –0.05 MHz / right: +0.05 MHz) until you see the desired frequency.

Note

After a few seconds, the radio automatically returns to volume control mode. If you do not make any changes to the frequency setting, you may have to press the [] button again to return to setting the station.

Automatic station search

The radio can automatically search for stations. This process searches the entire frequency range of the analogue radio receiver. The radio stops the search and starts playback when it finds a station.

• In FM mode, press [] to switch back and forth between volume control and station selection.
• Select the "Select station" menu item and confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].
• Turn [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] (left: - 0.05 MHz/ right: + 0.05 MHz), to set the desired direction of the scan and then press [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE] to start the automatic station search.

Station search setting

The search run setting allows you to determine whether stations with low signal strength are to be considered during the automatic search run.

Proceed as follows:

• Repeatedly press [] to get to the "Station search settings" menu item.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].

Note

By default, "Only strong stations" is enabled.

Audio settings

Some radio stations broadcast their signals in stereo quality. This radio uses stereo signals as standard and optimises playback for them.

For some stations with a weak signal, quality can be improved slightly by playing them in mono. You can enable this function in the menu, and the radio will automatically switch to mono reception when signal quality is poor. To change this option, proceed as follows:

• Press [] and navigate to the "Audio settings" menu item.
• Select "Mono only" and confirm the selection by pressing [VOLUME/SELECT/NAVIGATE].

Aux in

You can use the analogue audio input (AUX IN socket) to connect mobile devices (for example, smartphone, tablet PC, MP3 player, etc.) to the radio and play your audio files using the radio.

• Repeatedly press [] to activate the Aux in operating mode.

Note

Managing favourites (FM/DAB&DAB+)
