FM band. When the corresponding DAB station is received again, the system
automatically switches from FM to DAB.

L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different broadcasting rang-

what is known as the L-band.
If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then we recom-
mend turning off the L-band. The channel scan is therefore faster.
