Manual station storage
The station being heard can be stored in the range
selected with buttons (“18”, “ 17”, “16”, “15”, “14”,
“13”) 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 7
(BN-AS) 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 tape or CD Changer (if installed).During automatic storage the display shows “A-
STORE”.
To interrupt AutoSTore press button 7 (BN-AS) 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 (18).
On buttons (“18”, “17”, “16”, “15”, “14”, “13”)
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.: 2
(PTY), 8 (
N), 9 (˜), 10 (O), 12 (÷), (13), (14),
(15), (16), (17), (18) 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 1 (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, Tape, 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 free preset buttons will be shown on the
display, for about 2 seconds, by 4 dashes and the last
station heard will be returned.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 1 (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 1
(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 (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.
(*) If the TA function (traffic information) is on, but the radio sta-
tion chosen does not give traffic information, the device “beeps”
every 30 seconds.
001-050 ING 21-06-2007 15:48 Pagina 32

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 tapes
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 1 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
❒press tuner buttons “
˜” (9) or “÷”(12).
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 cassette or CD, before inserting the
cassette 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 the
cassette or Compact Disc, this station broadcasts
traffic information, the tape or 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
“INFO TRA”, while the display continues giving the
last information (frequency, etc.).
If the tape player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 1 (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 1 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

3) To receive traffic information while not listening to
the radio:
❒turn on the TA function briefly pressing button 1
(AF-TA), so that the display shows “TA”;
❒tune to a station enabled to transmit traffic
information so that the display shows “TP” and turn
the volume to zero by keeping button 20 (VOL–)
pressed.
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 1
(AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on the
last station heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information (wording “TP” not shown
on the display), 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 30: same traffic bulletin
volume as 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.
When leaving the tuned station coverage area,
depending on the active audio source, the following
cases may took place:
❒Radio on: a “beep” is given every 30 seconds;
❒Tape, CD Changer (if installed), Telephone or Mute
on: a “beep” is given and the search for an enabled
station will start.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn on sound
adjustment with the (AUD-LD) 19 button.
001-050 ING 21-06-2007 15:48 Pagina 34

IMPORTANT If the TA function is on and the station
tuned is not able to provide traffic information or it is
no longer able to provide this information (the display
will not show “TP”), so after about 1 minute in which
the radio is in these conditions:
❒if listening to a tape another station is sought that is
enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒if when listening to the radio a “beep” is given to
alert that it is not possible to receive traffic
information, to interrupt it, it is necessary to tune
to a station that can provide traffic information or
switch off the TA function.
The TA function is interrupted in the following cases:
❒in radio mode: press a preset button during a traffic
bulletin;
❒pressing button 6 (SRC-SC) during a traffic bulletin;
❒by automatic/manual tuning or AutoSTore;
❒turning the Mute function on.Emergency alarm reception
In the RDS mode the radio is set to receive
emergency announcements in the case of exceptional
circumstances or events that may cause general danger
(earthquakes, floods, etc.), if they are broadcast by the
station tuned.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
deactivated.
Program Type function (PTY)
(selecting a type of programme)
To turn on the PTY function, which makes it possible
to give top priority to PTY programmes, when
present, which may involve emergency messages or
various topics (e.g.: music, news bulletins), briefly press
button 2 (PTY) until the display shows “PTY” and the
subject of the last station heard (e.g.: “NEWS”).
After about 2 seconds the station name or frequency
is shown on the display.
IMPORTANT To turn on the PTY function, the radio
must be in the FM band.

REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at determinate times of
the day, transmit regional programmes which differ
from region to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (regional). However if
a regional programme is heard and you wish to stay
tuned to it, the function must be activated.

function:
❒“REG ON”: function on;
❒“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional programme is tuned
that works in a determinate area and the car enters a
different area, the regional station of the new area is
received.
IMPORTANT When the function is off (“REG-OFF”)
and the AF function is on (alternative frequencies) the
radio automatically tunes to the frequency of the
station selected with the strongest signal.CDC function
(CD Changer data display)
(if installed)
This function can be chosen only if a CD Changer is
connected.
In this case the display will show “CDC DISP”.
To change the function use buttons 9 (

The display shows the setting among the two possible:
❒“TIME” (time elapsed from start of track);
❒“CD NR” (CD number).
SENS DX/LO function (tuner sensitivity
adjustment)
With this function it is possible to change the
sensitivity of automatic station searching. When low
sensitivity “SENS LO” is set only stations with
excellent reception are sought; when high sensitivity
“SENS-DX” is set all stations are sought. Therefore, if
the car is in an area with a considerable number of
stations and you want to choose only those with a
strong signal, set to low sensitivity “SENS LO”.
