Recalling Preset RDS Stations

1 Press the AF button to activate the RDS mode. The display shows "AF" when the RDS mode is activated.

2 Press the 1 through 6 buttons in which your desired RDS station is preset. If the preset station's signal is weak, the unit automatically searches and tunes to a stronger station in the AF (Alternative Frequencies) list.

3 If the preset station and the stations in the AF list cannot be received:

The unit searches again for a station in the PI (Programme Identification) list.

If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the unit displays the frequency of the preset station and the preset indicator disappears.

If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being tuned becomes too weak to receive, press the same preset location button to tune in a Regional station in other district.

NOTE

For presetting the RDS stations, refer to the Radio Operation section. The RDS stations can be preset in the FM1, FM2 and FM3 bands only.
