3.3 Auto-update
Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM. The clock is only
updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is best to select a
mode you use regularly.
3.4 Manual set
If you set No update, the wizard now prompts you to set the time and
date manually. The date is displayed as DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-
YYYY.
4 Operation
This section describes the operating functions available for each of
the four audio sources.
4.1 DAB radio mode
DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays
information about the station and programme /track as broadcast.
To enter DAB mode, either press Mode until the display shows DAB
Radio.
4.1.1 Scanning for stations
The first time you use DR3, or if the station list is empty,the radio
automatically performs a full scan to see what stations are
available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the
list of stations for one of the following reasons:
New stations may become available from time to time.
If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the
antenna was not up), this may result in an empty or incomplete list of
available stations.
If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to
break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.
To do a full scan Select Menu > Full scan.
Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previously-
selected station or first station on the station list.
To remove stations that are listed but unavailable Select Menu >
Prune invalid.
4.1.2 Manual tune
As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually
tune to a particular channel / frequency. This can be useful for
adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and
scanning a particular channel to update the station list.
To manually tune
Press Menu > Manual tune then use select control button to display
a particular channel/frequency, press Select to tune to that
channel/frequency.
The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength
on the selected frequency.
Adjustments to your antenna will be manifested in the received
signal strength displayed.
Note: The division in the signal strength bar indicates the audio
quality threshold – if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid
rectangles, falls below this threshold the audio quality will
deteriorate.
When a channel/frequency is selected DR3 also scans for any DAB
stations on the selected frequency and updates the station list with
any new stations found. To listen to any stations found return to the
Now playing screen and select the required station from the station
list as normal.
