Introduction
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is a
digital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and each
has a channel name (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In areas without DAB,  is dis-
played in DAB radio mode.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 52.

If reception of the currently selected DAB station is lost (e.g. no DAB availa-

tune to it.
Automatic station tracking between frequency bands only works if the DAB
station and the FM station transmit the same station identifier or the DAB
signal indicates a corresponding station on the FM frequency band.
If a corresponding FM station is found, (FM) is displayed next to the station
name. When reception for the corresponding DAB station returns, the unit
will switch back to DAB mode after a short time. 
