Range selection
FM range: press the BN key repeatedly until the display shows the required range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM
3».
AM Range: press the BN key repeatedly until the display shows «MW» (medium wave) or «LW» (long
wave).
Last station memory
Once the selection has been made, the last programme tuned on this range can be played (Last Station
Memory) While in Last Station Memory mode, the set stores the settings present before it is turned off:
selected station, CD or TAPE, and plays them when the set is turned on again.
Stereo reception - FM
When a stereo station is received, the display shows the corresponding symbol.
Traffic information reception (TP)
TP (Traffic Program): RDS station able to transmit traffic broadcasts.
TP function activation
Give the TP key a short press This enables the traffic broadcast reception function: the display shows the
message "TP"
When traffic information is received with the TP function active and another sound source is playing (e.g.
CD or tape), the source is interrupted to listen to the radio information and the display shows the message
"TA INFO" for 10 seconds.
At the end of the traffic information, the soruce is automatically switched to the source selected originally.
NOTE: if the station tuned in is not an RDS station able to broadcast traffic information, a search is
automatically started for an RDS station when the TP function is selected.
Interrupting traffic information
Give the TP key a short press. The function still remains active to receive future traffic information.
Because the radio offers the EON service, another station belonging to the same network may tune in
while listening to a radio station to provide traffic information (only with TP function enabled); it will re­
turn to the original station automatically at the nd of the news.
NOTE: traffic information is provided at minimum volume. This volume may be adjusted by means of the
EXPERT control menu.
// only traffic information is to be played, activate the function by means of the TP key and set
the volume to zero using knob A
Alternative frequency (AF)
During reception of an RDS programme that is broadcast by several stations at different frequencies, the
radio will automatically switch to the frequency with the best local reception.
NOTE: in a very poor reception area, the user may become aware of attempts to switch between sound
frequencies due to frequent pauses. In this case, it is advisable to deactivate the AF function
RDS-EON
temporarily.

Deactivating AF function
NOTE: tihs function can be deactivated only when receiving stations with alternative frequencies.
To deactivate the AF, simply give the AF key a short press. When a short message 0FF>;
will appear on the display.
Do the same to reactivate.
NOTE: the AF OFF reception condition should be considered a local, temporary solution because it in­
volves manual compensation of a broadcasting service.
For this reason, tuning will automatically be switched to AF ON upon each manual or automatic tuning
control or selection of another stored station.
The AF OFF condition can be stored, together with the station, when it is activated before storage.
If an attempt is made to deactivate AF for a station that is not broadcasting using an RDS protocol, the
message "NO AF" will appear on the display.
RDS OFF
With some stations (e.g. MF103.3-ISORADIO in Italy), it is advisable t store the station in RDS OFF
mode to receive optimum reception.
To activate RDS OFF mode, simply press the AF key for more than 2 seconds.
RDS OFF mode, as with AF OFF mode, is absolutely temporary. The RDS OFF condition can be stored,
together with the station, whenever it is activated before storage.
Storing RDS stations/programmes
Press the selection key for stations 1 to 6 for more than 2 seconds until the station can be heard
again.
NOTE: theAF ON I OFF and RDS ON I OFF modes are stored together with the station.

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.
