RDS FUNCTIONS
RDS (Radio Data System)
The radio must be tuned to FM to access
the RDS functions.
The RDS system gives you automatic tun-
ing to the optimal frequency of the RDS-en-
abled stations being listened to (AF func-
tion). You can therefore continue to listen
to the station without having to alter the fre-
quency when you change the area. Obvi-
ously the station you are listening to must
be picked up in the area you are travelling
through.
If the signal is very weak and/or if the
reception is bad, the sound system will mute
for a few seconds while seeking an alter-
native frequency for the station. If this oc-
curs frequently, we recommend turning the
AF function off.If an RDS station can non longer be picked
up in your current position and the AF func-
tion is on, the message “AF” on the display
will flash. As soon as correct reception is re-
stored, “AF” will stop flashing.
The RDS will also display the name of the
station you are listening to (PS function).
Alternative frequency search
(AF function)
Press the AF button [7] to activate/de-
activate the function. When the function is
on, the message AF will appear (or flash)
on the display.
If reception worsens, the message “AF”
will start flashing and the device will attempt
to tune to an alternative frequency. If the
switch-over is not possible, the message
“SEARCH” will appear on the display and
the sound system will tune to the current
station before starting the search.
REG function
(regional programmes)
The REG function can only be used when
the AF function is on.
The REG function (regional programmes)
tunes to local (regional) stations only. Press
the AF button [7] for longer than 2 seconds
to turn the function on/off. The message
“REG” will appear on the display when the
function is on.
If you are listening to a regional station
and the function is off, the regional station
of the new area will be picked up as you
change area.
The REG function is not active when re-
ceiving a national station.
Manual tuning to regional
stations
This function is available only when re-
gional stations are received, with AF func-
tion on and REG, function off. Follow this
procedure:
1.Press one of the pre-set buttons [12]
to recall a regional station.
2.If the station reception is not optimal,
press the same pre-set button [12] and the
radio will tune to a regional station.

nately. To stop the search, press the TA but-

rupted to allow to listen to traffic announce-
ments broadcast by an RDS TA station.

again to return to the previous station.
You can adjust the PTY-NEWS station vol-
ume as required, according to the procedure
shown in the next paragraph. The volume,
consequently, can change when the func-
tion is turned on/off.
IMPORTANT
PTY-NEWS broadcasts are not available in
all countries. In TA stand-by, the RDS TA sta-
tions have priority over PTY-NEWS stations.
Emergency messages will interrupt all oth-
er operations. They can only be received
from RDS stations. The message “ALARM”
will appear on the display and the message
can be listened to.
