Radio operation with RDS

An ever increasing number of FM radio sta- tions broadcast addition information in paral- lel to their normal program via the Radio Data System to make reception even more con- venient.

As soon as radio programs can be identified, the station name and possibly the regional identifier are in the display, e.g. NDR1 NDS (local radio program in Lower Saxony, Ger- many).

With RDS, the preset buttons turn into pro- gram buttons. Now you know exactly to which program your set is tuned in and thus you can choose precisely the desired program.

RDS offers further advantages:

AF - Alternative Frequency

The AF function assures that the strongest frequency of the selected program is tuned in automatically.

This function is on, if the display shows “AF”. To switch AF on/off,

press AF briefly.

During seek tuning to the strongest frequen- cy, the radio operation is muted for a mo- ment. If “SEARCH” appears in the display when turning the set on or when calling up a stored frequency, the set is automatically 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

The AF function can also be used to activate and deactivate the regional function. At some time of the day, larger radio stations 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 program or if you wish to use the entire RDS service, switch to “REG OFF”.

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

If “REG ON” is activated, the display will show “REG ON” each time the radio is switched on.
