Manual station storage
The station being heard can be stored in the range
selected with buttons (“16”, “15”, “13”, “7”, “10”, “9”)
numbered from 1 to 6.
Keep one of these buttons (from 1 to 6) pressed until
receiving the confirmation “beep”. After storage, the
display shows the number of the button with which
the station has been stored.
AutoSTore function (automatic station
storage)
To switch on the Autostore function, keep button 12
(BAND-AUTOSTORE) pressed until receiving the
confirmation “beep”. With this function the radio
automatically stores the six stations with the strongest
signal in decreasing order of intensity of the FMT
frequency band.
IMPORTANT Activating the AutoSTore function
cancels the stations stored previously in the FMT band.
If the TA function is on (traffic information), only the
stations that send traffic information will be stored.
This function may also be turned on when listening to
a Compact Disc, CD Changer (if installed) or in
Telephone mode.During automatic storage the display shows “FM AST”.
To interrupt AutoSTore press button 12 (BAND-
AUTOSTORE) again: the radio will automatically tune
to the station heard before activation of the
AutoSTore function.
At the end of the AutoSTore function the radio
automatically tunes on the first preset station in the
FMT band stored on preset button 1 (16).
On buttons (“16”, “15”, “13”, “7”, “10”, “9”)
numbered from 1 to 6, the stations are automatically
stored that give a strong signal in that moment in the
present band.

The behaviour of the set during AutoSTore is as
follows:
❒at the beginning of the AutoSTore function all the
other functions are disabled;
❒pressing one of the radio function buttons, e.g.: 17
(PTY), 6 (N), 5 (
÷), 6 (O), 5 (˜), (7), (9), (10),
(13), (15), (16) the automatic storage process is
interrupted, the last station heard before
AutoSTore was turned on is tuned and the function
associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 14 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Compact Disc,
CD Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
Activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case the previous stations will be stored on the free
preset buttons.Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
❒select the required frequency band (FM, MW, LW);
❒briefly press one of the six station storage buttons.
The display will show the number that corresponds to
the button.
In bands FM1, FM2 and FMT, if reception is poor and
the AF alternative frequency search function is active,
the station with the strongest signal that is
broadcasting the same programme will be sought
automatically.
AF function (alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can work in two
different modes:
❒“AF ON”: alternative frequency search on (the
display shows “AF”);
❒“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search off.

When the signal of the RDS station tuned weakens,
the following two cases may occur:
❒with “AF ON” the RDS system activates automatic
tuning of the optimum frequency of the station
chosen, with the stations enabled, therefore the
radio is automatically tuned to the station with the
strongest signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the station chosen
without having to change the frequency when
changing area. Of course, the station being listened
to must be receivable in the area the car is crossing;
❒With “AF OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it will have to be
found manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the AF function on/off, keep button 14 (AF-
TA) pressed until hearing the beep. The name RDS (if
available) stays on the display and if the AF function
has been turned on the symbol “AF” is shown.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
14 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station selected.TA function (traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMT)
are enabled to also broadcast information about traffic
conditions. In this case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic information) function on/off,
briefly press button 14 (AF-TA).
The listening conditions and information given on the
display may be the following:
❒TA and TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information and the traffic information function is
on;
❒TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information but the traffic information function is
off;
❒TA (*): the traffic information function is on but the
radio is tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information;
❒TA and TP not shown on the display: the radio is
tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information and the traffic information function is
off.
(*) If the TA function (traffic information) is on, but the radio sta-
tion chosen does not give traffic information, the device “beeps”
every 30 seconds.

With the TA function (traffic information) it is
possible:
1) to search only RDS stations that transmit in the FM
band, enabled to broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information even if the CD player
or CD Changer is in use;
3) to receive traffic information at a predefined
minimum volume even with the radio volume off.
The operations to be carried out for each of the three
above conditions are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information:
❒select band FM1, FM2 or FMT;
❒briefly press button 14 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
To store stations with TA on, carry out the storage
operations (see “Manual station storage”).2) If wishing to receive traffic information when
listening to a CD, before inserting the CD or starting
the CD Changer, in Telephone mode or with Mute
function on, tune to a station enabled to broadcast
traffic information (TP) and activate the TA function. If
while listening to a Compact Disc, this station
broadcasts traffic information, the CD will be
suspended temporarily and resumed again
automatically after the end of the message. At the start
of receiving traffic information the display will briefly
show the wording “TRAFFIC INFORMATION”, while
the display continues giving the last information
(frequency, etc.).
If the CD player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 14 (AF-TA) the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band, the TA function is
activated and the traffic messages are transmitted. If
the station selected does not send traffic information,
the search for an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic information message,
briefly press button 14 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

3) To receive traffic information while not listening to
the radio:
❒turn on the TA function briefly pressing button 14
(AF-TA) so that the display shows “TA”;
❒tune to a station enabled to transmit traffic
information so that the display shows “TP” and turn
the volume to zero by turning the button/knob 18
(VOLUME ON/OFF).
This way, if that station broadcasts traffic information,
this will be heard at a minimum predefined volume.
IMPORTANT In certain countries radio stations exist
which, even if the TP function is on (the display shows
“TP”), do not transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
14 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information the search for an enabled
station starts automatically.The volume with which the traffic bulletin is
transmitted varies depending on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 20: traffic bulletin volume =
20 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 20: same traffic bulletin
volume as the listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic bulletin the
value is not shown on the display and the new value is
kept only for the bulletin in progress.
If the volume is changed during a traffic bulletin,
depending on the active audio source the following
cases may took place:
❒Radio on: a “beep” is given every 30 seconds;
❒Compact Disc, CD Changer (if installed), Telephone
or Mute on: a “beep” is given and the search for an
enabled station will start.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn on sound
adjustment and the radio menu by pressing
respectively buttons 11 (MENU-PRESET SCAN) or 8
(AUDIO-LOUDNESS).

IMPORTANT If the TA function is on and the station
tuned is not able to provide traffic information or it is
no longer able to provide this information, then, after
about 1 minute in which the radio is in these
conditions:
❒if listening to a Compact Disc another station is
sought that is enabled to transmit traffic
information;
❒if when listening to the radio a “beep” is given to
alert that it is not possible to receive traffic
information, to interrupt it, it is necessary to tune
to a station that can provide traffic information or
switch off the TA function.
The TA function is interrupted in the following cases:
❒in radio mode: press a preset button during a traffic
bulletin;
❒pressing button 1 (SOURCE-SCAN) during a traffic
bulletin;
❒by automatic/manual tuning or AutoSTore;
❒turning the Mute function on.Emergency alarm reception
In the RDS mode the radio is set to receive
emergency announcements in the case of exceptional
circumstances or events that may cause general danger
(earthquakes, floods, etc.), if they are broadcast by the
station tuned.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
deactivated.
Program Type function (PTY)
(selecting a type of programme)
To turn on the PTY function, which makes it possible
to give top priority to PTY programmes, when
present, which may involve emergency messages or
various topics (e.g.: music, news bulletins), briefly press
button 17 (PTY) until the display shows “PTY” and the
subject of the last station heard (e.g.: “NEWS”).
After about 2 seconds the station name or frequency
is shown on the display.
IMPORTANT To turn on the PTY function, the radio
must be in the FM band.
If the station does not broadcast in the PTY mode, the
wording “NO PTY PROVIDED” is shown on the
display for a few seconds.
