FAQs
Do I need to use the included headphones?
Yes, the included 3.5mm stereo headphones act as the aerial for the DAB radio. Without them plugged in, you will not be able to receive DAB or FM stations.
How long does the battery last?
The rechargeable 1000mAh battery provides up to 10 hours of listening time on a full charge, depending on volume levels and station signal strength.
Can I use any headphones with this radio?
While any standard 3.5mm stereo headphones can be plugged in, only the included headphones are confirmed to function effectively as the aerial. Using non-original headphones may result in weaker reception.
How do I find new stations?
Navigate to the station tuning menu and select 'Autoscan' or 'Rescan' to search for all available DAB and FM stations in your current location.
Is the radio waterproof?
No, the radio is not waterproof. It should be kept away from water and moisture to prevent damage.
What is the range for charging?
The radio can be charged using any standard USB power source, such as a computer USB port, a USB wall adapter, or a power bank.
Can I store my favourite stations?
The product description does not specify a station preset feature. You may need to manually tune to your preferred stations each time.
Troubleshooting
Radio not turning on
Ensure the radio is fully charged. Connect the USB charging lead and check if the charging indicator lights up. Try a different USB power source or cable.
No stations found or poor reception
Make sure the headphone aerial is securely plugged in. Extend the headphone cable as much as possible. Try tuning in a different location, away from potential signal obstructions. Perform a full station rescan.
Sound is distorted or intermittent
Check the headphone connection to ensure it's firm. Reduce the volume slightly. If the issue persists, try using a different pair of compatible 3.5mm stereo headphones.
Device not charging
Verify that the USB cable is properly connected to both the radio and the power source. Test the USB cable and power adapter with another device to confirm they are working.
