Whilst providing many of the benefits of modern DAB/FM functionality, after the unit is initially set up, normal everyday operation is simple:

The design is focused on simplicity for the day-to-day user
POWER
The black button on the far left of the radio switches the power ON or OFF.
The Radio will start operating, tuned to the last selected channel.
CHANNEL SELECTION
Pressing one of the three beige buttons will select one of three pre-programmed radio channels previously selected during the set-up
VOLUME
Volume is changed using the knob on the right-hand side of the player.
The knob has deep grooves so it is easy to grip for people with limited hand or finger movement
DISPLAY
The radio has an LCD display which shows the radio channel and programme when it is playing, and the time and date when it is switched off
Setting up the Radio
Setting up can be undertaken by friends, family, carers, or anyone with a bit of a technical aptitude.
This is normally a one time operation.
The set-up controls are hidden away under a secret panel.
This is removed for setup simply by sliding to the left.
Replacing the panel after set up ensures that nothing will be changed in advertently during everyday use.
