The behaviour of the set during AutoSTore is as
follows:
❒at the beginning of the AutoSTore function all the
other functions are disabled;
❒pressing one of the radio function buttons, e.g.: 18
(PTY), 3 (
N), 7 (÷), 6 (O), 5 (˜), (8), (10),
(11), (14), (16), (17) the automatic storage process
is interrupted,the last station heard before
AutoSTore was turned on is tuned and the function
associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 15 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Compact Disc,
CD Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
❒Activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case the previous stations will be stored on the free
preset buttons.Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
❒select the required frequency band (FM, MW, LW);
❒briefly press one of the six station storage buttons.
The display will show the number that corresponds to
the button.
In bands FM1, FM2 and FMT, if reception is poor and
the AF alternative frequency search function is active,
the station with the strongest signal that is
broadcasting the same programme will be sought
automatically.
AF function (alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can work in two
different modes:
❒“AF ON”: alternative frequency search on (the
display shows “AF”);
❒“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search off.

When the signal of the RDS station tuned weakens,
the following two cases may occur:
❒with “AF ON” the RDS system activates automatic
tuning of the optimum frequency of the station
chosen, with the stations enabled, therefore the
radio is automatically tuned to the station with the
strongest signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the station chosen
without having to change the frequency when
changing area. Of course, the station being listened
to must be receivable in the area the car is crossing.
❒With “AF OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it will have to be
found manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the AF function on/off, keep button 15 (AF-
TA) pressed until hearing the beep.
The name RDS (if available) stays on the display and if
the AF function has been turned on the symbol “AF” is
shown.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
15 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station selected.TA function (traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMT)
are enabled to also broadcast information about traffic
conditions. In this case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic information) function on/off,
briefly press button 15 (AF-TA).
The listening conditions and information given on the
display may be the following:
❒TA and TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information and the traffic information function is on.
❒TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information but the traffic information function is off;
❒TA (*): the traffic information function is on but the
radio is tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information.
❒TA and TP not shown on the display:the radio is
tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information and the traffic information function is off.
(*) SIf the TA function (traffic information) is on, but the radio
station chosen does not give traffic information, the device
“beeps” every 30 seconds.

With the TA function (traffic information) it is
possible:
1) to search only RDS stations that transmit in the FM
band, enabled to broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information even if the CD player
or CD Changer is in use;
3) to receive traffic information at a predefined
minimum volume even with the radio volume off.
The operations to be carried out for each of the three
above conditions are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information:
❒select band FM1, FM2 or FMT;
❒briefly press button 15 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
❒press buttons 5 (
˜) or 7 (÷).
To store stations with TA on, carry out the storage
operations (see “Manual station storage”).2) If wishing to receive traffic information when
listening to a CD, before inserting the CD or starting
the CD Changer,in Telephone mode or with Mute
function on, tune to a station enabled to broadcast
traffic information (TP) and activate the TA function.
If while listening to a Compact Disc, this station
broadcasts traffic information, the CD will be
suspended temporarily and resumed again
automatically after the end of the message. At the start
of receiving traffic information the display will briefly
show the wording “TRAFFIC INFORMATION”, while
the display continues giving the last information
(frequency, etc.).
If the CD player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 15 (AF-TA) the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band, the TA function is
activated and the traffic messages are transmitted. If
the station selected does not send traffic information,
the search for an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic information message,
briefly press button 15 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

3) To receive traffic information while not listening to
the radio:
❒tune to a station enabled to transmit traffic
information so that the display shows “TP” and turn
the volume to zero by turning the button/knob 19
(ON/OFF VOLUME).
❒turn on the TA function briefly pressing button 15
(AF-TA), so that the display shows “TA”;
This way, if that station broadcasts traffic information,
this will be heard at a minimum predefined volume.
IMPORTANT In certain countries radio stations exist
which, even if the TP function is on (the display shows
“TP”), do not transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
15 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information the search for an enabled
station starts automatically.The volume with which the traffic bulletin is
transmitted varies depending on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 20: traffic bulletin volume =
20 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 20: same traffic bulletin
volume as the listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic bulletin the
value is not shown on the display and the new value is
kept only for the bulletin in progress.
Leaving the covered area of the tuned station,
depending on the active audio source the following
cases may took place:
❒Radio on: a “beep” is given every 30 seconds;
❒Compact Disc, CD Changer (if installed), Telephone
or Mute on: the search for an enabled station will
start automatically.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn on sound
adjustment and the radio menu by pressing
respectively buttons 12 (MENU-PRESET SCAN) or 9
(AUDIO-LOUDNESS).

seek a station with this programme see the
“Automatic tuning” and “Scanning stations (Scan
function)” paragraphs.
If no station is available with this type of programme
the system sounds a “beep”, the station selected
previously is heard and for 2 seconds the display
shows the wording “CHOSEN PTY NOT FOUND”.
To turn the PTY function off, briefly press button 18
(PTY) again: the display will show the last information
(frequency, etc …) active before the PTY function.Controlling the station’s type
of PTY programme
To know the type of PTY programme of the station
heard,keep button 18 (PTY) pressed until a “beep” is
heard.After the “beep” the display will show the type
of programme (see previous paragraph) offered by the
station tuned. If the station has no PTY code, the
display will show the wording “NO PTY PROVIDED”.
After a few seconds the display will again show the
RDS name or frequency of the station tuned.
EON function (Enhanced Other Network)
Certain countries have circuits which group together
several stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information. In this case the programme of the station
being heard will be interrupted temporarily to receive
traffic information (only with TA function on), ever
time these bulletins are given by one of the stations of
the same circuits.
