Switching on:

The rst time E120 is powered on it will automatically perform a ‘BestTune scan’ which will take a couple

of minutes. If a suitable DAB / FM antenna is connected, E120 will scan and store all available DAB and

FM stations, providing one combined list with the best band option for each station.

If a scan has already been performed, E120 will power up into standby.

The exact number of DAB stations available will vary from area to area.

If you experience poor reception, it may be that you are in a weak signal area and require an external

DAB antenna (recommended), or a higher gain amplied antenna.

Configurable Switches:

There are two small switches mounted on the lower PCB that adjust the audio mode

outputs. After making a switch position change you will need to power down the

E120.

SWITCH 1 OFF – Line output is variable, adjusts with amplier volume.

SWITCH 1 ON – Line output is xed at 100%

SWIITCH 2 OFF – Amplier speaker outputs are in stereo mode with separate left

and right channels.
