Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

ThIsradio is equipped to receive Radio Data System or RDS signals. RDS is a second- I ary signal used by many FM radio stations to broadcast additional information. Blau-

Ipunkt has been a key player in developing RDS in Europe.

This radio’s RDS features include program service name (PS), which automatically dis- plays RDS station’s identification such as WNYC-FM or THE WAVE. Other RDS fea- tures included are alternative frequency switching (AF), program type identification and search (PTY), and capability to receive future Emergency Alert System (EAS) mes- sage broadcasted by RDS stations. All are explained in this section.

AF - Alternative frequency

The AF (Alternative Frequency) function makes sure that the strongest frequency of the currently selected program is always tuned in automatically.

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

In order to switch this function on or off,

•press the AF button briefly.

While searching for the strongest reception signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly. If “SEARCH” appears in the display when switching on the radio or recalling one of the

stored frequencies, the unit is automatically searching for an alternative frequency. “SEARCH” will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has been run through completely.

If the reception quality of the selected pro- gram becomes too bad:

•Tune into another station.

Selecting a waveband

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

FM 87.5 - 107.9 MHz AM530-1710kHz

•Select the desired waveband by press- ing the FMT or AMT button.

Station tuning

•Press A/V; the car radio will automatj- tally search for the next station.
