Resetting your EVOKE-2 A reset option is provided to enable you to reset your unit. This removes all presets, stored stations and favourite station settings and resets all options to defaults. Performing an autotune process will solve most DAB problems but you may want to use this option if you move house or want to restore default values to options you have changed.
Guide to digital radio Your EVOKE-2 enables you to receive and listen to DAB radio programmes. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) uses digital signals rather than traditional analogue signals enabling near CD-quality audio with virtually interference-free reception. DAB also enables broadcasters to transmit additional data along with the audio including other audio channels, text and in the future, perhaps computer data and images.

DAB Display says ‘Station off-air’ This may occur if a broadcaster takes a station off-air whilst you are listening to it. If your radio is tuned to a secondary service EVOKE-2 re- tunes to the associated primary service. If tuned to a primary service, EVOKE-2 will wait until the service resumes or you can choose a new station.
Aerial advice Your EVOKE-2 is supplied with a telescopic aerial. This is an indoor aerial which is designed to give good DAB re cep tion in areas with good to moderate DAB signal strength and good FM reception. In areas with poor coverage or poor signal strength you may want to consider using a loft mounted or external aerial.
