Question 1

One of the features of the dementia radio is a USB port for your own playlist. How does this feature work?

Accepted Answer

**MP3*** music files need to be downloaded onto a USB stick which is then inserted into the back of the music player and concealed with the back panel. The number of songs that can be stored will depend on the size of the USB you use. A 4MB USB can usually store around 250 songs.  When the person wishes to listen to their own music, they simply press the "My Playlist" button on the top panel of the music player.  Please refer to the manual which accompanies the radio for guidance on how to download music.
The radio does not currently support music downloaded via Mac 
*Music must be downloaded as MP3 files only

Question 2

Please tell me more about the USB and which one to use

Accepted Answer

We suggest using a USB V3.0 or 2.0 - format this to FAT32 and ensure you do this prior to loading music onto the USB.
Please only use a USB up to 32GB, this will be ample for 2000+ songs to be stored.

Question 3

Can the playlist songs be skipped forward with the simple buttons?

Accepted Answer

No this can only be done from the back of the radio as it has been desigend to be as simple as possible.

Question 4

Can the playlist be used for Audiobooks?

Accepted Answer

This is not currently suitable for audio books; it has been designed for radio and a music player (with USB stick) only.

Question 5

I have a radio and the preset stations keep storing the same station

Accepted Answer

When you wish to move to the different pre-sets, press only briefly and it will change. As if you press and hold for longer it will store the station you are listening to.  Please retune the radio presets and press to change stations as guided and this will now work.

Question 6

I have a radio and notice the volume does not go to zero

Accepted Answer

This is a design feature of the radio, to allow the user to know when it is always on.

Question 7

Is it easy to set up?

Accepted Answer

Instructions are within the manual on how to do this.  Once the 3 favourite radio stations have been set and a USB loaded with music (MP3 format) the radio will be ready to use for the person with dementia, using the buttons on the top of the radio only.

Absolutely - the radio comes with a power cord as standard with compatibility for UK and US.

For Australia, you can buy the radio with AUS adapters at https://homelifetech.com.au/products/relish-radio

Question 12

What size batteries does the radio take and how long do these last

Accepted Answer

To play the radio without a cord you use 4 x size D batteries.  Using premium batteries, and playing the radio every day with the volume set at bar 3/4 the batteries will last for 100+ hours.  Mixing the use of the player between the "my playlist" and radio and the varying the level of the volume may reduce how many hours the batteries will last.

Can I download music from Itunes onto the USB

Yes this can be done, however the files will need to be converted to MP3 to be compatible for the music player.

Unfortunately not, but it radio does have a port that you can use for your own personal headphones.

Question 16

I use headphones with the radio and the volume is quieter than with the speakers

Accepted Answer

The sound through the speakers will be louder due to needing to fill a room, whereas headphones are for 1 person use and not usually needed to be as loud.

Question 17

Where is the factory reset?

Accepted Answer

This is located behind the back panel just above where the USB port is located.  If you need to reset this please take the end of a paperclip and insert gently into the hole.  Press and hold for 2-3 seconds.  While doing this check the display panel, this should say it is resetting.  Release and the music player will be reset and ready to be retuned.
