Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

Replacing a KeyCard

Any KeyCard can only be replaced by a new one with the same identification number (1 or 2).

For example, to replace KeyCard 2,

insert KeyCard 1 into the set and turn it on.

Slightly push in the card so that it is released; the display will show

LEARNING.

Take out KeyCard 1 and insert the new KeyCard 2 while the display is still showing LEARNING.

You can use the new KeyCard 2 to operate the set.

To turn it on, you can only employ one Key- Card 1 or 2.

The Radio Data System offers you more convenience for listening to FM.

An ever increasing number of FM radio sta- tions broadcast additional information in par- allel with their normal program.

As soon as a radio program can be identified, the station name and possibly also a regional identifier will appear in the display, e.g.

“NDR1 NDS” (local radio program in Lower Saxony, Germany).

With RDS, the preset buttons turn into pro- gram buttons. Now you know exactly to which program your set is tuned in, making it absolutely easy to find the desired station quickly.

But RDS even offers you more advantages:

AF - alternative frequency

The AF function makes sure that the stron- gest frequency of the selected program is always tuned in automatically.

This function is activated if “AF” lights up in the display.

To switch AF on/off:

Press AF briefly.

During seek tuning for the frequency offering the best reception of the selected program, the radio is muted for a moment.

If “SEARCH” appears in the display when turning on the set or when calling up one of the stored frequencies, the set is automati-

cally searching for an alternative frequency. “SEARCH” goes out as soon as the system has found an alternative frequency or after the frequency band has been scanned com- pletely.

Should the reception quality of the selected program become too bad,

tune into another program.

REG - Regional

At some times of the day, larger radio stati- ons split up their main program into regional program versions offering local information. If you want the radio to lock onto a regional program,

hold down the AF button for about 2 seconds.

The display will show “REG ON”.

If you leave the service area of the regional station tuned in, or if you wish to use the normal RDS service again, switch to “REG OFF”.

Hold down the AF button for about 2 seconds until “REG OFF” is displayed.

The display will show “REG ON” or “REG OFF” each time the radio is switched on.
