Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System provides FM recep- tion with enhanced convenience.

An increasing number of radio stations now broadcast RDS information supplementary to the program proper.

As soon as stations can be recognized, the station code appears, in some cases with indication of the region, e.g. NDR1 NDS (Niedersachsen).

Activating RDS causes the station keys to function as program keys. You now know exactly what station you are receiving, and you can therefore also select the desired station.

AF - alternative frequency

The AF (alternative frequency) function en- sures that the best available frequency of the station being received is selected auto- matically.

Switching AF on/off:

During radio mode

Press TU: menu level 2 is called up.

Hold AF down until the beep sounds.

This function is active when “AF” is lit in the display.

Note:

AF is deactivated when you switch off RDS.

Selecting the frequency band

You can select from the following frequen- cy bands:

FM

87.7 – 107.9 MHz,

Activating/deactivating RDS

Activating/deactivating RDS:

During radio mode

Press TA briefly.

The selected settings appear briefly on the display. When RDS is activated, “AF” ap- pears in reverse video on the display.

The radio may be muted briefly during the search for the channel with the best recep- tion.

If “SEARCH” appears on the display when the unit is switched on or when a stored fre- quency is called up, the unit is automatical- ly searching for an alternative frequency.

“SEARCH” disappears when an alternative frequency has been found, or when the waveband has been completely searched.

If the station can no longer be received with satisfactory quality:

Select a different station.

Menu level 2

Select the frequency band by pressing BND repeatedly until the desired fre- quency band appears.

The sequence is: FM I, FM II, FMT, AM, AMT.
