More about RDS

• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS

stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local

radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not

transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is

weak.

You can see RDS information on the display while

listening to an FM station.
