Radio data system (RDS)
Alternative Frequency (AF):
.The A\f fun\btion operates in the \fM (radio) and CD
modes.
. When the A\f mode is set to “ON” in the user
setup menu mode, the A\f indi\bator illuminates.
\for a\btivation or dea\btivation, use the MENU button.
(Details are explained later in this se\btion.)
. Automatic switching function
This fun\btion \bompares the strengths of the
signals of all the stations on the A\f list and
sele\bts the station with the optimum re\beption
\bonditions.
. Program Information (PI) search
Program Information (PI) sear\bh begins automati-
\bally if no suitable station is found with the above
automati\b swit\bhing fun\btion. The PI sear\bh
fun\btion \bhe\bks ea\bh RDS station with the same
PI \bode. During this time the sound is muted and
“PI SEARCH” is displayed. The PI sear\bh opera-
tion stops when a suitable station is found. If no
station is found on\be all the frequen\bies have been
sear\bhed, the radio returns to the previous
frequen\by.
. Enhanced Other Network (EON) data update
(This function also operates when the AF
mode is off.)
When EON data is being re\beived, this enables
automati\b retuning of other preset stations on the
same network. Also, network linked servi\bes \ban
be used. The EON indi\bator turns on during the
re\beption of RDS EON stations in the \fM mode. RDS functions:

. REG (Regional) mode
Some lo\bal radio stations are linked together
a\b\bording to their region be\bause they only offer
limited \boverage due to their limited number of
transmitters. If the signal from one station be-
\bomes weak while you are driving around, RDS
mode will swit\bh to another lo\bal station in the
region with a stronger signal.
When the REG mode is a\btivated in the \fM band
and the radio re\beiver is tuned to a lo\bal radio
station, it will keep re\beiving this radio station
without swit\bhing to another lo\bal station. \for
a\btivation or dea\btivation, use the MENU button.
