5 Preparing the DIGITRADIO 4 IR for operation
5.1 Setting up the appliance
>
Place the appliance on a firm, secure and horizontal surface.
Ensure good ventilation.
Notes:
-
Do not place the appliance on soft surfaces such as carpets,
blankets or near curtains and wall hangings. The
Ventilation openings could be covered. This can interrupt the necessary air
circulation. This could potentially lead to an appliance fire.
-
Please note that the appliance feet may leave coloured marks on certain
furniture surfaces. Use protection between your furniture and the appliance.
-
Keep the DIGITRADIO 4 IR away from devices that generate strong
magnetic fields. Otherwise, reception interference may occur.
-
Do not place any heavy objects on the appliance.
5.2 Align antenna
The number and quality of the stations to be received depends on the reception
conditions at the installation site. Excellent reception can be achieved with the telescopic
aerial.
Release the telescopic aerial from its holder, straighten it and pull it out
>
lengthways.
Note:
-
The exact alignment of the antenna is important, especially in the
peripheral areas of DAB+ reception. On the Internet, for example, you can
find
"www.dabplus.de" to quickly find the location of the nearest transmitter mast.
-
Start the first search at a window in the direction of the transmitter
mast. If the weather is poor, DAB+ reception may only be possible to
a limited extent.
-
Do not touch the aerial while a station is playing.
This can lead to impaired reception and sound dropouts.
