General information
Safety instructions (see Figure 3)

English
• Do not expose the unit or batteries to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
• You can clean the radio with a soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any
cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.
• Active mobile phones in the vicinity of the radio may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid dropping the radio as this may cause damage.
• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Environmental information
• All redundant packing material has been [Link] have done our utmost to make
the packaging easily separable into two mono materials: cardboard and polyethylene.
• Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized
company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packingmaterials,
exhausted batteries and old equipment.

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 vol-
umes 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.

7
DA1102_05_Eng 2007.9.10 2:11 PM Page 8

General information
To establish a safe volume level:
English

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distor-
tion.

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 situa-
tions.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.;
it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas

General information
About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)

English
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 to the strongest signal it can find.
– With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned
by station name, so there's no retuning on the move.

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.

Helpful Hints:
– You will receive only those stations within your transmission area.

DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS

Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and audio data services.
Some programmes 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.
