Safety
• Never lubricate any part of this unit
• Never place this unit on other electrical
equipment.
• Never expose this device to direct sunlight,
nakedames,orheat.
• Onlyuseattachments/accessoriesspecied
by the manufacturer.
• Referallservicingtoqualiedservice
personnel. Servicing is required when the
digital 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 digital radio,
the digital radio has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
• The unit shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
• Do not place any sources of danger on
theunit(e.g.liquidlledobjects,lighted
candles).
• Where the mains plug or an appliance
coupler 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.
• 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. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding,etc.;itmaycreateatrafc
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

•The type plate is located on the back of the product.

11 About DAB
What is 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
tothestrongestsignalitcannd.
– With DAB digital stations there are no
frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned
by station name, so there is no returning on the
move.
What is DAB+?
DAB+ is based on the original DAB standard
butusesamoreefcientaudiocodec.Whereas
DAB uses MPEG Audio Layer II (better
known as MP2), DAB+ uses HE-AAC v2
(better known as MP4 or AAC+). This allows
equivalent or better subjective audio quality to
be broadcast at lower bit rates. The increased
efciencyoffersbenetsforGovernmentsand
Regulators(evenbetterspectrumefciency),
broadcasters (lower costs per station) and
consumers (a wider choice of stations).
DAB+ is designed to provide the same
functionality as the original DAB radio services
including services following (e.g. to the same
service on another DAB ensemble or its FM
simulcast),trafcannouncementsandPAD
multimedia data (e.g. dynamic labels such
as title artist information or news headlines;
complementary graphics and images etc.)
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.
14 EN
DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS
Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator)
also provides text and audio data services.
Some programs 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.
