BASIC OPERATION

14.CLOCK BUTTON

Press it to display time on LCD for few seconds. Press it hold and then press or

button to adjust hour or minute.

15.AF BUTTON (for RDS model only)

AF [ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES]

When pressed short, AF switching mode is selected and the state of AF switching mode is displayed by AF segment in display.

Segment off: AF switching mode off.

Segment on: AF switching mode on, and has RDS information.

Segment flashing: AF switching mode is selected, but RDS information is not received yet.When AF switching mode is selected, the radio checks the signal strength of AF all the time. The interval of checking time of each AFs depends on the signal strength of current station, from a few minute for strong station to a few seconds for weak station. Everytime that new AF is stronger than current station, it switches over to that frequency for very short time, and NEW FREQUENCY is displayed for 1-2 second. Because the mute time of AF switching or checking time is very short, it is almost inaudible in case of normal program.When pressed long, it is activated of regional mode on /off .

Regional mode ON

AF switching or PI SEEK is implemented to the station which have all PI codes are the same as current station.REG of individual segment is turned on also together with displaying REG ON numeric display for a few seconds.

Regional mode OFF

The regional code in the format of PI code is ignored when AF switching or PI SEEK is implemented. REG of individual seg. is turned off together with displaying REG OFF on numeric display for a few seconds.

16.TA BUTTON (for RDS model only)

TA function [TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENT] BUTTON When pressed short, it is activated as TA mode on or off.

When TA mode is on and traffic announcement is transmitted:

1). When the unit is in CD mode, it will switch to radio mode temporarily.

2). Temporary switch over to an EON linked station when EON detects a traffic announcement on that other program.

3). If the volume level was under the threshold point, it will be raised to the threshold point.

But the user changed the volume level which was more than the threshold point (min. TA volume level), it will be set to the last level.

When pressed long , it is selected EONTA LOCAL / EONTA DISTANCE mode. The purpose of this key is to reduce unwanted EON TA switching, which EON TA information was received from current station and the radio switched to that EON linked station, but no information could not be received because the EON linked station is located too far from that area.

So the radio is switched back to current station again.

In above operation, a customer listen to a wrong program or mute sound for a while. EONTA LOCAL mode

When the filed strength level of EON linked is less than the threshold level, the radio does not switch that station, and a customer can hardly listen to any disturbances. When EONTA LOACL mode is selected, EONTA LO on numeric display is indicated for a few seconds.

EONTA DISTANCE mode

EON TA switching is try to implemented by the information of current station . When EONTA DISTANCE mode is selected, EONTA DX on numeric display is indicated for a few seconds.
