DAB digital radio is easy to use
Ran out of station presets on your radio set to store all your favorite stations and wasting time tuning in search for your stations, that is, if you can even remember their frequencies. No more hassle with the DAB digital radio. There are no frequencies to remember and the set is tuned by stations' name. It allows the listener to scroll through a list of available stations and then to simply select the desired station at a touch of a button.

Simplicity in tuning
If you are using your DAB digital radio for the first time, you will have to do a full tune/scan of DAB channels. It is best to place your DAB digital radio near the window or balcony, extend the antenna vertically. This works for most DAB radios - Press and hold down the "Auto tune" button for a few seconds. You may also select the DAB channels by manual tuning and select 7B and 7C to access our Digital Radio stations. Please refer to the user guide to learn more about your DAB digital radio.

FM radios with digital display are not digital radios
Don't confuse yourself with FM radios that simply have a 'digital' display. DAB digital radios will bear a DAB logo, and come in a wide range of receiving devices including fixed, mobile and portable radio receivers with displays or screens.
