The battery icon is an approximation of power/charging status. It may also take several seconds for the icon status
to stabilize. If the battery is removed and the PAL+ operates solely from the external adapter, the icon on the LCD
will show an empty battery.
Leaving the PAL+BT plugged in, even when not in use, ensures the batteries will be charged when you need them.
If the PAL+BT is not plugged in, the batteries will self-discharge as a safety measure. There is no harm in continu-
ously operating the PAL+BT with the power supply.
Note: It may take up to 4 charge/discharge cycles before the batteries are operating at full capacity when
new or left unused for several weeks.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Should you ever need to replace the battery, lift the antenna up and use a philips-head screwdriver to remove the
two screws holding the battery cover in place. Lift the battery cover off and take note of how the lead is connected
to the battery pack prior to disconnecting. Replace the pack making sure to re-connect the leads correctly. Replace
the battery cover by inserting the bottom lip first, then screw the cover back on.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use an exact-replacement battery pack available
through Tivoli Audio or our authorized dealers and dispose of the spent battery pack according to your country's
regulations. The battery pack must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire, or the like. Use of a
non-Tivoli Audio battery pack could damage the PAL+BT.
For information about the remote control's battery refer to Point 14 of the "Guide to Features (Remote Control)".
Digital Radio/FM Reception
When moving the PAL+BT to another location where there may be different DAB stations from the previous loca-
tion, it is recommended to run a "Prune" to initiate a new scan to refresh the DAB station list.
FM: In strong signal locations, reducing the antenna's length may provide better reception.
RDS (FM band only)
The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits text data along with the audio broadcast. Not all FM stations utilize this
service, thus text may not be present with some stations. For stations broadcasting RDS, the text still might not
appear, or might appear scrambled if the signal is too weak. This is not a fault of the PAL+BT. In such cases,
experiment with the position of the FM antenna. Note RDS content is determined by each individual FM station.
Handling the PAL+BT
•
The PAL+BT is weather resistant, but it is not weather proof. It should not be immersed in water or held
under running water. It also should not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
•
The PAL+BT is designed to be portable, but it is not indestructible. Do not drop it, throw it, or subject it to
strong impacts.
•
Always grip the PAL+BT using the side indentations to reduce the chance of it slipping out of your hand.
Cleaning
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Normal everyday wear and tear or damage resulting
from cleaning or chemicals is not covered under the factory warranty. To clean the PAL+BT use a soft cloth and
do not rub hard.
