WHAT IS RDS?
The Radio Data
System (RDS) function on the FM waveband permits: - automatic retuning to alternative frequencies carrying the samestation while travelling through different regions (if the transmittersgqyggqyg
of this station cover the area through which you are travelling),gg g(gg g(
- temporary tuning to traffi c information announcements,
- display of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible data in addition to their programmes. The data transmitted in this way allows you access to variousfunctions, mainly displaying of the name of the station, temporary yyyy
tuning to traffi c information announcements or automatic retuning to y pyg p yy pyg p
alternative frequencies.gg
RDS allows you to continue listening to the same station automatically by means of alternative frequencies. However, alternative frequencies yg yyg
may not be provided throughout the country. Radio stations do not yq qqq
cover the whole country, which explains the loss of reception of the yp g ypg y
station during a journey. y

REGIONAL MODE
Some stations are organised in a network.
In different regions, they broadcast different or shared programmesdepending on the time of day. gyg,y

You can follow:


- a regional station only,

- the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listeningto a different programme.

RDS ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES
Your radio automatically checks and selects the best frequency for the radio station to which it is tuned (if the station broadcasts on yqyyq
several transmitters or frequencies). The frequency of a radio station covers approximately 30 miles(50 km). The change from one frequency to another explains theq y pp yq y pp y
loss of reception during a journey. () g q() g
If the station to which you are listening does not have several frequencies in the region in which you are currently located, you canygyg
deactivate automatic alternative frequencies. qgyqgy
