The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
Radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single fre-
quency in the form of an ensemble or group. It also allows for the transmission
of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings,
etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can interfere with the radio
signal even causing it to fail completely.■
For vehicles with window antennas do not stick foil or metal coated stickers
to the window as this can lead to interference.
■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the AF and RDS function. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.
