AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF Switching: On” - search for alter-
native frequencies activated (the word-
ing “AF” appears on the display);
❒“AF Switching: OFF” - search for alter-
native frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the function:
❒press the button MENU and select “AF
Switching: On”;
❒press the buttons ¯/ ˙to activate/de-
activate the function.
By turning the function on the car radio
will automatically tune into the station
with the strongest signal that is transmit-
ting the same programme. While driving,
you can continue to listen to the same sta-
tion without having to change the fre-
quency when you change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive
the station that you are listening to, in the
area you are driving through.If the AF function was activated, the icon
“AF” will appear in the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio can not receive the tuned sta-
tion, the radio activates the automatic
search during which the wording “FM
Search” will be shown on the display (for
technologically advanced radios only).
With AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the radio
station display, continue being activated.
The AF function can only be activated on
FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic news)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the wording
“TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the TA function:
❒press the button MENU briefly and se-
lect “Traffic info”;
❒press the buttons ¯/ ˙to activate/de-
activate the function.
If the TA function was activated, the icon
“TA” will appear on the display.IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated with an audio source other than
Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, CD CHANG-
ER, telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio
can carry out an automatic search and
therefore it is possible, when reactivating
the Tuner (Radio) source, that the fre-
quency tuned into is different from the
one set previously.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, that are enabled to
transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the
CD/CD CHANGER player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are
radio stations that, even with the TP func-
tion activated, do not transmit traffic in-
formation (the icon “TP” appears on the
display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM
band, when TA is activated it will tune to
the last selected station in the FM1 band.

FREQUENCY BAND SELECTION
With the Radio mode active, press the
button FM AS or AM briefly and repeat-
edly to select the desired reception band.
Each time the button is pressed the fol-
lowing bands are selected cyclically:
❒By pressing the button FM AS: “FM1”,
“FM2” or “FMA”;
❒By pressing the button AM: “MW1”,
“MW2”.
Each band is highlighted by the names in
the display. The last station selected on
the respective frequency band will be
tuned into.
The FM band is divided into sections: FM1,
FM2 and “FMA”; the FMA reception band
is reserved to broadcasters stored auto-
matically using the Autostore function.PRESET BUTTONS
The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 are
used to set the following preselections:
❒18 in the FM band: 6 in FM1, 6 in FM2,
6 in FMT or “FMA” (on some versions);
❒12 in the MW band.

desired frequency band and then press
briefly the corresponding preset button
(from 1 to 6).

than 2 seconds, the tuned station will be
stored. The storing phase is confirmed by
an acoustic signal. INTRODUCTION

function that was selected before turning
it off (Radio, CD,CD/MP3) is activated.

other audio source is being listened to,

pending on the desired band.

ton number (e.g. P1).

EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that
group multiple broadcasters that are en-
abled to transmit traffic information to-
gether. In this case, the programme of the
station that is being listened to will be tem-
porarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic information (only with
the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each
time they are transmitted by one of the
broadcasters in the same circuit. EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in
RDS mode in exceptional circumstances
where dangerous situations are threat-
ened (earthquakes, floods, etc.) if these are
being transmitted by the broadcaster
tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The wording “ALARM” will be shown on
the display during the transmission of an
emergency alert. The volume of the ra-
dio will change during this announcement
in the same way as during a traffic news.STEREOPHONIC
BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the repro-
duction is automatically switched from
Stereo to Mono.
