Connecting to power supply
Once you have made all other connections, connect the supplied power lead to the socket on the rear of your digital
radio and plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. Always use the supplied adapter to prevent damage to your radio.
Using batteries
To use battery power as an alternative to a mains power supply, remove the battery compartment door on the rear
panel and insert six size ‘C’ batteries. If you use rechargeable batteries, connecting the unit to the mains will not
recharge the batteries.
The battery supply is switched off when your EVOKE-2 is connected to the mains. To switch to battery supply remove the
power adapter plug from the rear of the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When battery power becomes low your EVOKE-2 may switch itself off and on again – sometimes quite rapidly – resulting
in a pulsing ‘heart beat’ type sound. This is a consequence of digital technology which needs a certain minimum power
to receive DAB. When the batteries drop below that minimum level your EVOKE-2 will switch off.
The EVOKE-2 has a powerful amplifier which, when turned up high, can cause a large battery drain, particularly if the
batteries are old. Reducing the volume will help to extend the battery life.
PURE Digital also recommends that you use high quality Alkaline or 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable batteries rated at
3000mA or higher.
Connecting to headphones
You can connect a set of stereo headphones to your EVOKE-2 radio using the headphones socket.
Connecting to an external recorder
You can connect your EVOKE-2 to an external recording device. This may be a stand alone unit such as a tape recorder
or MiniDisc recorder or it may be built into your existing hi-fi system.
Connect the Stereo Out socket to the Line-in sockets on the back of your recorder using a suitable cable.
Connect the Digital Out socket to the Digital-in socket on the back of your recorder using an optical cable. Remove the
small plugs from the sockets first. Suitable connecting cables are available from PURE Digital, see page 19 for details.
