Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

DEUTSCH

The Radio Data System will enhance your enjoyment when you listen to FM radio sta- tions.

More and more radio stations broadcast RDS information along with their regular programming.

As soon as a programme has been identi- fied, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis- play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro- gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).

When RDS is activated, the preset buttons become programme buttons. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired sta- tion quickly.

But RDS offers you further advantages:

AF - Alternative frequency

The AF (Alternative Frequency) function makes sure that the radio always tunes into the strongest frequency of the currently se- lected programme automatically.

This function is activated when “AF” appears in the display.

In order to switch this function on or off,

press the AF·TA button until a beep is emitted.

While searching for the strongest reception signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.

If “SEARCH” appears in the display when the radio is switched on or one of the stored frequencies recalled, the unit is already au- tomatically searching for an alternative fre- quency.

“SEARCH” will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has run through completely.

If the reception quality of the selected pro- gramme deteriorates beyond a certain point:

Tune into another station.

REG - regional programme

Certain radio programmes are split up at times into regional programmes offering lo- cal information. The 1st programme broad- cast by NDR, for example, offers pro- grammes with different contents in the north- ern German states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times of the day.

If you are listening to a particular regional programme and wish to continue doing so, select “REG ON” in the DSC mode.

If you leave the service area of the regional programme you are tuned into, or if you would like to take advantage of full RDS service, switch to “REG OFF” in the DSC mode.

Selecting a waveband

With this car radio you can select between the following wavebands:

FM 87,5 - 108 MHz

MW 531 - 1602 kHz

LW153 - 279 kHz

(Zermatt RCM 149 without MW, LW).

Select the desired waveband by press- ing the BA/TS button.
