When storing RDS stations you should
press the corresponding station button
only when the station name appears in
the display. This ensures that all RDS
information has been interpreted and
stored automatically.
When calling up stored RDS stations,
the corresponding station name is display-
ed. If the stored frequency is too weak for
good reception, the radio searches auto-
matically for an appropriate alternative fre-
quency (best station function).
If non of the stored alternative frequencies
is strong enough for good reception, the
desired station cannot be received at the
moment. In this case, tune to another sta-
tion.
!Please make sure that the station
name is displayed when the station
is stored. If a moving text should be
displayed, this will be stored
instead of the station name.
Information about How does RDS work?
RDS stations
In many European countries, RDSis al-
ready transmitted by many radio stations.
The goal is to provide an overall coverage.
With this system, an inaudible digitized
data current is transmitted in addition to
the normal FM radio signal, providing the
RDS receiver with information in encoded
form which controls, among other things,
the following functions:
• Programme identification (PI code)
With the help of the PI code, the radio
recognizes the currently received station.
• Programme service name (PS code)
The PS code transmits the station name
which is shown in the display.• Alternative frequencies (AF code)
Because of the limited transmission
range of the FM waves, the programme
of one radio provider is transmitted by
several stations on different frequencies.
The AF code informs the radio about all
alternative frequencies of the same pro-
gramme.
This enables the radio to tune to the fre-
quency which can be received in the best
quality.
Tuning to another frequency is carried
out in an inaudible way.
The station name in the display remains
unchanged.
While you are driving, the RDS radio
searches permanently for alternative
frequencies of the station selected and
tunes to this in an automatic and nearly
inaudible way.
• Traffic programme identification (TP code = Traffic programme)
This information tells the radio that it is
currently receiving a traffic programme
station.
RADIO MODE

ßQ– AIM button
Using the AIM function (Automatic Infor-
mation Memory), you may store automati-
cally up to 9 traffic announcements with a
total length of 4 minutes with the help of
the integrated digital voice memory.
Storing traffic announcements
There are 3 different possibilities of storing
traffic announcements:
• When the radio is switched on, every traffic announcement of the station tuned
to is stored as soon as the “TP” function
has been selected ("TP" in the display).

ß?– TP button
The TP standby mode allows you to hear
only traffic announcements. Even if the
volume is set to minimum, the traffic an-
nouncements are heard with the program-
med volume – see also page 17. If the
transmission range of the traffic station
tuned to is left, the radio will start after
about 30 seconds an automatic station
search.
Interrupting a traffic announcement
You may wish to interrupt a traffic an-
nouncement in certain situations, for
example
– if the announcement does not concern your route,
– if the announcement is very long and the part concerning you is already com-
pleted.
Briefly press the TP button
ß?while the
announcement you wish to abort is heard.
The announcement will be aborted and
the previous mode, for example radio
reception, cassette or CD play, is conti-
nued. A new traffic announcement will be
heard again.
To switch definitely off all traffic an-
nouncements, deselect the TP range.
