Radio operation with RDS
(Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when you listen to FM radio
stations.
More and more radio stations have begun
to broadcast RDS information along with
their programmes.
As soon as a programme has been identi-
fied, the station name including a regional
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis-
play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro-
gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
If RDS is activated, the preset buttons be-
come programme buttons. You now know
exactly which programme you have tuned
into, making it easy to find the desired sta-
tion quickly.
But RDS also offers you further advantag-
es:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the strongest frequency of
the currently selected programme is always
tuned in automatically.
This function is activated if “AF” appears in
the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
• press the AF button for about 1 sec-
ond.
Selecting the audio mode
Using the SRC button (source) you can
switch between radio and tape operation, if
a tape is inserted.
When you insert a cassette, the unit switch-
es automatically to tape mode.
To switch to the other source,
• press SRC.
Detachable face
This unit is equipped with a detachable face.
You can remove the control face at a push
of the REL button.
In order to prevent the unit from being sto-
len, we recommend you to take the detach-
able face with you when you leave your car.
Re-inserting the face is child’s play. The set
will be ready for use immediately and you
will find all of your previous settings re-ad-
justed.
Detaching the face
• Press the REL button.
The unit will be switched off automatically.
The control panel will be released in order
for you to remove it.
Attaching the face
• First, apply the right hand side of the
face to the chassis.
• Second, gently push the left side of the
face against the front of the chassis
until it snaps into place.
The unit is now ready for use with the set-
tings selected before the face was removed.
