RDS services

This unit automatically provides RDS services as follows:

TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic Programme)

Provides current traffic information/ programmes. Any information/programme received, will interrupt the currently selected source.

PTY (Programme Types)

Displays the currently received programme type. Also searches your selected programme type.

CT (Clock Time)

The CT data from the RDS transmission sets the clock.

Notes

•Depending on the country/region, not all RDS functions may be available.

•RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak, or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.
