Notes
•“NO AF” and the station name flashes alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.
•If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Press (SEEK/AMS) while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI seek” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the originally selected frequency.
Listening to a regional programme
The “REG” (regional on) function of this unit lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG“ but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.
Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds until “REG” disappears.
Note that turning the “REG” function off might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.
