From time to time, new stations launch, digital radio line-ups change, or essential engineering work is undertaken to the broadcast network. Re-tuning will ensure your radio is up-to-date and continues to receive your favourite stations.
Re-tune instructions can vary according to make and model of radio. In order to undertake a comprehensive re-tune across all frequencies, delete old station labels/names and reset your Presets. Please refer to the user manual of your particular product. However, the general guide below should be helpful for most radios.
Most digital radios can be re-tuned using the following simple instructions:
Press the Auto-Tune or Auto-Scan button on your digital radio
Or
If there is no Auto-Tune or Auto-Scan button, press the Menu button and go through the options until you find Auto-Tune or Auto-Scan. Select this option.
If these options do not work, or the new stations cannot be found, a further action known as a Full-Scan may be required. Either press and hold down the Auto-Tune or Auto-Scan button until a Full-Scan begins, or press the Menu button and go through the options until you find Full-Scan or similar. Select this option.
Or
If none of the above actions work, you may need to try a 鈥楽ystem鈥 or 鈥楩actory鈥 Reset on some radios

System or Factory Reset
Performing a re-tune process as described above will usually solve most DAB tuning problems but you may need to use the Reset option if you move house or want to restore your radio鈥檚 default values from options you have changed.
Please note that resetting your digital radio removes all Presets, restoring the radio to factory default settings. So, if you have saved a favourite station you will lose this until you set it as a preset again. Some radios keep old or defunct station names in the station list followed by a "?", a Reset will clear these from the station list.
Reset instructions can vary according to make and model of radio. In order to undertake a full factory reset, please refer to the user manual of your particular product. However the general guide below should be helpful for most radios
Press and hold the Select or the Info button on your radio until the display shows System Reset or Factory Reset.
Or
Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds. Push the Tune button within 3 seconds to confirm the Reset.
Or
Press the Menu button and select System Reset or Factory Reset. Once you have completed the reset you should then follow the Full Scan procedure again, as described further up in this guide.
