start scanning the preset stations in the present
frequency band:
❒FM: FM1 1, FM1 2, ...FM1 6, FM2 1, FM2 2, ...FM2
6, FMT 1, FMT 2, ...FMT 6;
❒MW: MW 1, MW 2, ..., MW 6;
❒LW: LW 1, LW 2, ...LW 6.
Each preset station will be heard for a few seconds
and its name or frequency will flash on the display, if
the signal intensity is sufficient. In passing from a
preselection to another, the display will show the
word “SCAN” for about 2 seconds.
In the first 2 seconds in which the new preset station
is heard, the display shows the current frequency band
and the number of the pre-select button.
If the TA function is on (traffic information), the
system will search only the stations that broadcast
traffic bulletins.
When the Scan function is on, all the other functions
are cancelled.The Scan function is interrupted in the following cases:

Manual station storage
The station being heard can be stored in the range
selected with buttons (“17”, “16”, “14”, “11”, “10”,
“8”) numbered from 1 to 6.
Keep one of these buttons (from 1 to 6) pressed until
receiving the confirmation “beep”. After storage,the
display shows the number of the button with which
the station has been stored.
AutoSTore function (automatic station
storage)
To switch on the Autostore function, keep button 13
(BAND-AUTOSTORE) pressed until receiving the
confirmation “beep”. With this function the radio
automatically stores the six stations with the strongest
signal in decreasing order of intensity of the FMT
frequency band.
IMPORTANT Activating the AutoSTore function
cancels the stations stored previously in the FMT band.If the TA function is on (traffic information), only the
stations that send traffic information will be stored.
This function may also be turned on when listening to
a Compact Disc, CD Changer (if installed) or in
Telephone mode.
During automatic storage the display shows “FM AST”.
To interrupt AutoSTore press button 13 (BAND-
AUTOSTORE) again: the radio will automatically tune
to the station heard before activation of the
AutoSTore function.
At the end of the AutoSTore function the radio
automatically tunes on the first preset station in the
FMT band stored on preset button 1-TPM (17).
On buttons (“17”, “16”, “14”, “11”, “10”, “8”)
numbered from 1 to 6, the stations are automatically
stored that give a strong signal in that moment in the
present band.

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.
