Tuning RDS programmes (IS LEARN) function (see EXP)
The IS LEARN function (which can be run only after activating the EXPERT function) can be used to
store up to 30 programmes in the IS memory (virtual memory area that does not correspond to storage
keys).
Stored programmes can be called up one by one as described in the EXP section.
The IS memory is useful when the station selection keys are restored or when the tuning stops on a new
reception field and you do not wish to deleted stored stations from preset keys.
Starting the automatic IS LEARN function
Use the BN key to select the range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM 3».
Press the SRC key for longer than 2 seconds. «IS ...» will appear on the display, the receiver starts the
search.
If an attempt is made to start the IS LEARN search without the IS mode being active (see EXPERT), the
display will show the message "EXPERT".
NOTE: Always wait for the end of the automatic intelligent search (IS).
If no reception is possible, the automatic intelligent research may stay on, e.g. in an underground garage
or if the aerial is defective. In this case, the automatic search can be interrupted by pressing one of the
station selection keys from 1 to 6.
The automatic intelligent search IS ensures up to 30 stations can be stored with optimum reception.
During automatic intelligent search IS, RDS programmes are stored first ordered by programme code, fol­
lowed by FM stations.
Calling up the contents of the IS memory
Stations can be called up from the memory in the required direction by giving a short press to one of the
keys A or B. «IS-SCAN» appears on the display during station selection.
Programme types (PTY)
Many radio programmes offer the programme type service (PTY) in the FM range (FM1, FM 2, FM3) The
message «NEWS» is displayed during a news programme, for example.
The PTY function activates a search filter that allows the radio to tune only to stations that broadcast pro­
grammes with a preset PTY code.
