Note
If there are less than six RDS stations, the stations without RDS are stored 
and classified according to the field power on the remaining station 
buttons.   If there are less than six radio stations (TP) the remaining station 
buttons are not changed.
 Storing radio stations
You can store on the station buttons   -     three ranges  - 
FM (UKW), TP (Traffic Program  = radio station ) and AM (MW) - 
each six stations on two memory levels (e.g. memory levels FM1 
and FM2)

– While the station to be stored is being listened to, the desired station button   must be held as long as possible until a short 
signal tone confirms the storing.
– The program name (RDS station) or the station frequency is  shown in the info field after the successful storing.
Note
•In the case of RDS stations, besides the program name also the 
regional frequency is stored.
•The memory is also available after disconnecting the battery.
•The field for the selected station buttons is marked in the radio infor-
mation display.
Retrieve radio station 
To retrieve the  stored station  only briefly press the respective 
station button  . The program name or the frequency belonging 
to this is displayed in the info field. If the stored frequency has no 
high quality reception, the unit automatically selects a suitable 
alternative frequency (Best-Station-Function) of the stored 
station.
Note
Only touch the button  , otherwise the already displayed frequency is 
stored.
Playing radio station (Scan) 
Stations of a waveband (TP, FM and AM) can be played briefly 
one after the other (for ten seconds).
– Select the desired waveband via “ Select source”.
– Press the button    ; the function Scan and the station  name (or the frequency) is indicated in the infor field.
– If you wish to select the scanned station, press again the  button  . Thus the scan function is ended.
Note
If you have selected no station, the scan function is repeated after a 
frequency process.
Radio mode with RDS and RDS regional
How does RDS function?
The function RDS (Radio Data System) is always active on the radio navi-
gation system. The broadcasting companies emit RDS information in 
addition to the program, which is received by the RDS receiver in the 
coded form.
The following functions are controlled by the transmitted code.
Program Identification (PI-Code) ; The radio detects the already 
received station through the PI code.
Program Service Name (PS-Code); The PS-Code transmits the RDS 
station name, which is displayed in the radio information display, e.g. 
radio 21. As some station companies modify the RDS station name via the

PS-Code (e.g for advertisement purpose ), there is the possibility to 
change the RDS station name in the menu “ Audio Settings ” (call up via 
menu field “ Settings”).
Alternative frequencies (AF-Code) ; The program of a station , e.g. 
radio 21 emits different frequencies based on the limited range of the ultra 
short wavebands of several broadcasting stations. The AF-Code commu-
nicates to the unit all possible frequencies for the corresponding station. 
RDS ensures that the best receivable frequency of the selected station is 
automatically and precisely set not to be heard.
Traffic radio identification (TP-Code = Traffic Program) ; This informa-
tion communicates to the receiver that a traffic radio station is just being 
received.
Traffic information identification (TA-Code = Traffic Announcement) ; 
The unit detects a traffic information by the TA-Code. If the radio is set 
very low or in the CD mode, the unit switches automatically to the traffic 
information in the programmed volume. Simultaneously the unit switches 
to mono play function.
EON (Enhanced Information Concerning Other Networks) ; EON is a 
RDS function, which ensures that all traffic information of a broadcasting 
company is transmitted in the TP mode.  Large broadcasting companies 
(e.g. NDR) emit simultaneously and  frequently various stations, e.g. 
NDR 1, NDR 2, NDR 3 etc.... Independent of the already set station of a 
broadcasting company, traffic information of other stations of this broad-
casting company can also be transmitted.
Catastrophy announcements ; Catastrophy announcements always 
take priority over all other functions. The message “ Alarm” is displayed on 
the screen.
RDS regional
Certain programs of the broadcasting companies are divided into regional 
programs at specific times. Examplewise NDR 1 transmits at certain times 
regional programs with different content e.g. for Schleswig-Holstein and 
Hamburg. First of all the unit attempts to set only alternative frequencies of the 
selected station.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “
program loss”, 
the unit accepts also frequencies, which are “ related” to the station NDR 
1. As these stations emit temporarily different programs and due to such 
a change in frequency also the program from one of the related stations 
can be heard.
Basically the station change is only intended for stations with exact PI-
Code. In case of poor reception, however an automatic switch over to a 
regional “ related” station family can be performed.
In the menu “ Audio Settings ” the function RDS regional can be set via 
the menu field “ RDS REG” to “auto ” or “off”. When opting for “ auto” the 
change to a regional “ related” station can only be performed if there is a 
risk of losing the station.
Anchoring the RDS station name
As some station companies modify the RDS station name via the PS-
Code (e.g. for advertisement purposes) there is the possibility to anchor 
the RDS station name in the menu “ Audio Settings”:
•fixed - the RDS station name is anchored as fixed, i.e. the FM and TP 
station stored on the station buttons   are shown with their RDS station 
names (e.g. radio 21).
•variable- allows the display of advertisement texts and weather reports 
in the info field.
Note
•After switching on, the unit searches the highest quality receiveable 
frequency for the location of the selected station. The unit can remain 
mute for several seconds depending on the reception position and the 
number of alternative frequencies.
•The evalutation of the RDS information can last several minutes 
depending on the power of the receivable signal.
