Scan wavelengthThe function automatically searches the cur-
rent wavelength for strong stations. When a
station is found, it is played for approx. 8 sec-
onds before scanning is resumed. When a sta-
tion is playing back it can be saved as a preset

RDS functionsRDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmitters
into a network. An FM transmitter in such a
network sends information that gives an RDS
radio the following functions:
•Automatically switches to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.
•Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
•Receives text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the audio
source currently in use. For example, if the CD
player is in use, it is paused. The interrupting
transmission is played at a preset volume, see
page 229. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set pro-
gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (
ALARM!),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and pro-
gramme types (PTY) interrupt one another in
order of priority, where alarm has the highest
priority and programme types has the lowest.
For additional settings of programming inter-
ruptions (
EON Distant and EON Local), see
the section "Enhanced Other Networks –
EON" below. Press EXIT to return to the inter-rupted audio source, press the OK/MENU to
clear the message.
AlarmThis function is used to warn of serious acci-
dents and catastrophes. The alarm cannot be
temporarily interrupted or deactivated. The
message
ALARM! appears on the TV screen
when an alarm message is transmitted.
Traffic information – TPThis function allows traffic information sent
within a set station's RDS network to break
through. The
TP symbol indicates that the
function is activated. If the preset station can
send traffic information then this is shown by
TP glowing brightly in the TV screen, otherwiseTP will be grey.

TP.
Enhanced Other Networks – EONThis function is useful in urban areas with many
regional radio stations. It allows the distance
between the car and the radio station trans-
mitter to determine when programme functions
should interrupt the current audio source.

To facilitate the use of a USB memory stick,
only store music files on it. It takes a lot longer
for the system to load storage media that con-
tains anything other than compatible music
files.
NOTE
The system supports mobile media compli-
ant with USB 2.0 and the FAT32 file system
and can handle 1000 folders with a maxi-
mum of 254 subfolders/files in every folder.
The top level, which can handle up to 1000
subfolders/files, is an exception to this.
NOTE
When using a longer model USB memory
stick the use of the enclosed USB adapter
cable is recommended. This is to avoid
mechanical wear to the USB input and the
connected USB memory stick.
