Presetting DAB Stations
You can store up to 15 DAB stations – They are stored in 3 groups of 5 presets. The groups
are called DB 1, DB 2 and DB 3 (we’ll come back to this later…)
1. Follow steps 1 to 3 as on Page 19
2. Select a station that you wish to preset (see point 5 on Page 19)
3.
Press the return [ARROW] icon to
return to the DAB control screen

press the [MULTI-FUNCTION] icon to reveal the

Priority Function
Some stations are broadcast on DAB as well as normal FM. If the signal to DAB is lost
temporarily, then the DNX will switch to the FM version of the station. There is a small time
difference between normal FM stations and DAB, so when this switching occurs, you may
notice a repeat in the transmission; this is normal. The priority function also works the other
way around. So if you are listening to normal FM and the same station is available on DAB,
then the DNX will switch over to DAB. However, it is possible to switch off this Priority
function from within the menu system. To do this:
1. Press [Menu] hard key, then [SET-UP] (If you cannot see the [SET-UP] icon swipe your finger
across the screen to view more icons)
2. Press [SOURCE]

General FAQ’s
How to Dim the Display
Note: this adjustment needs to be carried out separately for navigation and each source
• Press the [SCRN] button
• Then set the [Dimmer] option to OFF
o Set up the brightness, contrast and black level controls to the desired level for daylight
conditions
Note: in some sources, such as video, it is also possible to adjust colour, tint and sharpness
• Set the [Dimmer] to ON
o Set up the same controls for night time driving
• Set the [Dimmer] to either ‘SYNC’ or ‘NAV-SYNC’ – this determines when the screen will switch to
night mode.
SYNC = when the car’s lights are turned on
NAV-SYNC = at sunset
What to do with a Blank Screen
If the screen has gone blank, but the buttons are still illuminated and sound continues to play, then try holding
down the [TEL] button for about a second. This operation switches the screen off or on
It is also possible to get a blank screen if you select [VIDEO] from the Top Menu: selecting this source
switches to the video input, but if there is no video signal present, then you will get a blank screen – in this
case, just press the [Menu] button and select another source.
If the screen has gone blank, but also button illumination has switched off and there is no sound playing (i.e.
system has switched off) – it is possible that the system has been manually turned off by holding down the
[Menu] button. If you do this, you will need to manually turn the system back on by pushing the [Menu] button
once (with the ignition on).
If all else fails please try pressing the reset button (you need a pen for this)
The reset button on the DNX4210BT/DAB is the red illuminated triangle.
