Notes:

The same station name can be stored in different channels.

In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

“PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not operate properly.

If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.

When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.

“NO PS”, “NO PTY” or “NO RT” will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

The first 10 characters of the radio text will appear for 4 seconds and then they will scroll across the display.

If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, “NO RT” will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.

Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, “RT” will be displayed.
