The Relish Radio & Music Player has three easy-to-use memory buttons for saving your favourite FM or DAB stations. Label the name of each station in a way that makes the most sense to the user e.g. Classic, Jazz, News. The fourth button is for your own custom playlist, which is loaded through a USB port at the back (USB is included).
The volume dial on the Relish Radio & Music Player is designed to never go to zero. This ensures you’ll always hear some sound, and know when the radio is on.
The Relish Radio & Music Player includes a USB port at the back, allowing you to load a personalised playlist of meaningful songs or familiar voices - perfect for creating comforting, memory-filled moments. Simply press the fourth button to play the playlist. A USB stick is included to help you get started right away (MP3 Audio files only).
All the important settings, including station tuning, USB playlist loading, and the batteries, are safely tucked-away behind a discreet back panel to avoid any accidental changes. You can be sure your radio’s preset buttons will stay tuned to your favourite stations without any problems.
Plug in the radio using the supplied adapter or insert 4 x D batteries, and press the On button.
Remove the battery door to reveal the setup controls.
Use the tuning buttons to find your favourite FM or DAB stations. Hold one of the three memory buttons (on top) for 8 seconds to save a station. Use the label cards to write station names that make sense to the user.
Insert a USB stick (included) to play a personal playlist of MP3 Audio tracks.
Once set up, your loved one can simply press a button on the top panel to enjoy their music - no menus, no confusion, just one-touch listening. The easy design encourages independence and builds confidence with every use.
