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.

Use the BN key to select the range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM 3».

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.

Stations can be called up from the memory in the required direction by giving a short press to one of the

Programme types (PTY)
Many radio programmes offer the programme type service (PTY) in the FM range (FM1, FM 2, FM3) The

grammes with a preset PTY code.
