dity, moisture, combustible gases, vapours and solvents.
• If safe operation is no longer possible, take the device out of service and secure it against
unintended use. Safe operation is no longer possible, if the product:
- shows visible signs of damage,

Charging the built-in rechargeable battery
The USB connection at which the device is charged must have a power rating of at least
500 mA. This is normally assured at every USB connection of computers. However, the device
can also be charged with power supplies that feature USB ports.
Before using the device for the first time, the built-in rechargeable battery must be fully charged.
Charging takes about 3 hours.
Charge the battery at least once a month even if the device is not in use. This protects the
battery from damage due to total discharge and prolongs the battery life. Do not, under any
circumstances, go for more than 10 months without charging the battery.
• Connect the included USB cable to the DC 5V IN socket (8).
• Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB port of a computer or into a suitable USB power supply.
• Switch on the device by sliding the ON/OFF switch (1) to the ON position.
• During the charging process, the battery status indicator flashes on the display (3).
• Once the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the battery status indicator shows the full battery symbol
on the display (3).
• Unclip the USB cable when the charging process is complete.
• The operating time with fully charged battery is about 8 hours with medium volume. Once the rechargeable
battery is discharged, the battery status indicator shows the empty battery symbol on the display (3).
Connecting the headset
Insert the headset plug into the earphone socket
The headset cable simultaneously serves as the antenna for radio reception. Therefore, the
headset must be always inserted to ensure flawless reception.

Operation

a) General operation
Switching on or off
• In order to turn on the device, slide the ON/OFF switch (1) to the ON position.
• In order to turn off the device, slide the ON/OFF switch (1) to the OFF position.
The device can be switched off completely by the ON/OFF button (1). Use this function, if the
device is not used for a long period of time to save the battery power.
• After switching it on for the first time, the menu language must be selected. Select the desired language
using the ◄ (6) or ► button (9) and press the ENTER/LOCK button (5) briefly.
• The device then performs an automatic scan in the DAB reception range.
During the scan, the display (3) shows the progress and the number of the stations found.
On completion of the channel scan, the first item in the station list will be played back. If no
channels were found, it means that no signal was received. In this case, change the device
location or headset (serving as an antenna) orientation and repeat the channel scan. Make sure
the DAB stations are broadcasting in your area.
The signal strength is shown in the top right display (3) area.
Once switched on again, device operates in the most recently chosen mode.
• Press and hold the STANDBY/MODE button (4) to switch the device to the standby mode.
In the standby mode, the display (3) shows time and battery status. Use the standby mode if you
do not require the device for a short period.
