USING THE RDS FUNCTIONS
11
RADIO
The AF-function is only possible with FM. To select AF-function
switch to FM and press the button AF/REG for about 1.5 seconds.
After the radio has tuned into an RDS transmitter it will automatically
find the best transmitter in the particular chain of transmitters as
soon as reception starts to get worse, using the PI and AF code
systems, as long as you are still driving within the areas of the
particular areas.
The display shows the indication AF on the display.
Sometimes it may seem that the radio has gone off for a short
while. There is no fault-the radio is merely checking the quality or
other signals on the AF-list. If muting disturbs turn off the AF-
function.
When the radio switches over to an alternative frequency, it will
go quiet for a moment because it first has to check out the
accuracy of the PI data for the new frequency.
If you leave a reception area and there is no alternative AF
frequency, the PS data stay in the memory and are deleted only
when you start searching for a station.
If you have memorized manually any station, the mode of the AF-
function (turned on/off)also memorized.
What is EON?
EON(Enhanced Other Network) is a new RDS service provided by
certain station networks.
Even if you are tuned in to an RDS station which does not give
traffic news, e.g. a classical music program, you can still get the
traffic news by pressing TA/TPST-button, which tunes your radio
in to the traffic news. If another RDS transmitter now starts to
broadcast traffic news, yours radio automatically switches to this
station for the traffic news. When the traffic news is finished, it
switches back to the station you were on before.
NOTE : Thanks to this new RDS-function, the alternative frequency
list of the selected chain of stations is automatically
updated and this ensures that there is always an instant
automatic search of the best RDS stations in all programs
to the particular chain of stations.
Program type recognition (PTY, )
Radios equipped with PTY are able to display the various program
features of an individual station. By selecting the PTY function you
can get stations with the feature you want, i.e stations which
broadcast mainly news bulletins, sports, pop music or rock music,
for example.
The radio will then only seek those with the features you have
preselected.
