Notes

•When there is no alternative station in the area and you do not need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing (AF) repeatedly until “AF-OFF” appears.

•When “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.

•If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Press either side of (SEEK/AMS) while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the previously selected frequency.

Local link function (United Kingdom only)

The Local Link function lets you select other local stations in the area, even if they are not stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button that has a local station stored on it.2 Within five seconds, press the number button of the local station again.3 Repeat this procedure until the desired local station is received.
Listening to a regional programme

The “REG-ON” (regional on) function lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG-ON,” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

1 During radio reception, press (MENU), then press either side of (DISC/PRST) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press the (+) side of (SEEK/AMS) until “REG-OFF” appears.

3 Press (ENTER).

Note that selecting “REG-OFF” might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

To return to regional on, select “REG-ON” in step 2.

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.

Listening to traffic announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP) data lets you automatically tune in an FM station that is broadcasting traffic announcements even if you are listening to other programme sources.

Press (TA) repeatedly until “TA-ON” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” appears in the display when the unit finds a station broadcasting traffic announcements. When the traffic announcement starts, “TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the traffic announcement is over.

Tip

If the traffic announcement starts while you are listening to another programme source, the unit automatically switches to the announcement and goes back to the original source when the announcement is over.
