6. Important Notes on DAB+ Reception

DAB+ digital radio reception differs significantly from traditional FM reception. Please note the following:

• Digital vs. Analog: FM allows for weak, noisy reception. DAB+ is digital; if the signal is insufficient, you will hear nothing at all – no static or crackling. This is not a defect of the radio but an indication of insufficient DAB+ signal strength.
• "No Reception = No Sound": This is the fundamental rule for DAB+ reception.
• Location Sensitivity: DAB+ signal strength can vary greatly even within a few meters. If you experience poor reception, try moving the radio slightly to find a better signal area.
• Re-scan in New Locations: If you move to a different region or country, it is highly recommended to perform a full scan to find all available local DAB+ stations.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
• Avoid getting moisture into any openings.

7.2 Battery Care

• To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• Charge the device regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
