RDS uses PI (program identification) sig-
nal and AF (alternative frequency) list trans-
mitted in addition to the normal UKW
broadcasting programs, and picks up the
UKW stations that are transmitting the
same program from the EON (enhanced
other network) and automatically tunes to
the station with the strongest signal inten-
sity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to
one program in, for example, a long dis-
tance driving without returning to other sta-
tion transmitting the same program when
you are leaving the service area of the cur-
rently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited
reception of the program types, the break-in
reception of the traffic announcement and
emergency broadcast, and the limited
/unlimited reception of the regional pro-
grams.AF (Alternative Frequencies) function
The AF function finds a station broadcast-
ing the same program, and selects sta-
tion with the strongest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is tuned on (with the AF
indicator (13) shown on the display) at all
times unless you manually switch off.
To turn the function off, at first, switch off
the power from UKW mode, and while
pressing the No.5 of the memory select
buttons (7), press the PWR switch (1) until
it beeps. The AF indicator (13) on the dis-
play will turn off.
To turn the function on, use the same pro-
cedure.
REG (Regional) function
REG function limits to receive the sta-
tions broadcasting regional programs.
Regional programming and regional net-
works are organized differently depend-
ing on the country or area (they may be
changed according to the hour, state, or
broadcast area), so if you don’t want to
receive the regional programs automati-
cally, you can set up REG ON not to
receive regional programs.
To turn the function on, switch off the power
from UKW mode, and while pressing the
side of the TUNE/SEEK button (5),
press the PWR switch (1) until it beeps.
The“REG ON”will be shown on the dis-
play.To turn the function off, use the same pro-
cedure.
PI (Program Identification) search func-
tion
When traveling long distance and the
recalled preset station is weak, radio
searches another frequency broadcast-
ing the same programming with the same
PI code in AF list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the
same programming, the radio searches a
frequency broadcasting the regional pro-
gramming. The radio succeeds in search-
ing the regional programming, then the
display shows the REG indicator (10).
If the radio does not succeed in search-
ing the regional programming, the radio
returns to the recalled preset station.
