) Secondary services
Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain times. At the time of
writing not many secondary services are available. If a station has one or more secondary services available the display will show ‘>>’ next to the station name
on the station list and the secondary service will appear next to the station as you turn the Tune knob. A secondary service will display ‘<<’ before the service
name on the station list indicating that it belongs to the station preceding it in the list.
(?) Inactive or unavailable stations
Inactive or unavailable stations are stations which appear on the station list but are not currently available because either you are outside the broadcast area,
have lost reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. If the station has ‘?’ before its name in the station list the station is unavailable. If you select a
station which has this symbol, your radio tries to tune to that station. If still unavailable, you will return to the last station you were listening to.
I hear a ‘burbling’ sound on some stations
Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if the signal strength is too low. If that happens, a ‘burbling’
sound can sometimes be heard. To help reduce this, check that your aerial is fully extended and upright. If the problem persists try moving your radio or
repositioning your aerial using manual tuning.
Display says ‘ No stations available’
Check that your aerial is fully extended. Use Autotune to search for stations. Try using manual tuning to adjust your aerial or radio position.
My alarm/timer didn’t work
Check that you set the alarm or timer on (If display mode is set to clock you will see a timer or alarm icon on the display).
Check that the station you are tuned to is available – the clock/alarm/timer relies on the time signal broadcast by the multiplexes.
If you are using synchro-record check that you have set the Digital out to Off/Timer this triggers your recorder.
Clock shows the wrong time
This may happen if the multiplex you are tuned to broadcasts an incorrect time signal, try tuning to a station in another multiplex.
I can’t hear anything
If the display is on but you can’t hear anything your TEMPUS-1
XT may be in standby. If so, you should see a standby indicator on screen.
I can’t see my clock in the dark
Touch the SnoozeHandle to illuminate the display if your unit is in standby.
