AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes in the RDS
system:
❒“AF Switching On”: search for alternative frequencies
activated (the letters “AF” appear on the display);
❒“AF Switching Off”: search for alternative frequencies
not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF Switching
On”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the function on/off.
With the function activated the car radio will
automatically tune into the station with the strongest
signal that is transmitting the same programme. While
driving, the same station can be continuously listened to
without having to change the frequency when you
change zones. Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station that
you are listening to, in the area you are driving through.
If the AF function is activated, “AF” will light up in the
display.
If the AF function has been activated and the radio
cannot receive the station tuned into the radio activates
the automatic search during which the wording “FM
Search” will be shown on the display (for high-level
radios only).
With AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS
functions such as the radio station name display, remain
active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.

EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS mode in
exceptional circumstances or when there are dangerous
situations (earthquakes, floods, etc.), if these are being
transmitted by the broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the display during the
transmission of an emergency announcement. The
volume of the radio changes during this announcement in
the same way as during traffic news.EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that group multiple
broadcasters that are enabled to transmit traffic
information together. In this case, the programme of the
station that is being listened to will be temporarily
interrupted to:
❒receive traffic information (only with the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time they are
transmitted by one of the broadcasters in the same
circuit.
STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, playback is automatically
switched from Stereo to Mono.
