Introduction
Some units also have a DAB radio receiver. DAB is a digital broadcasting
standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “channels” and have an abbrevia-
tion (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. When in DAB radio mode in areas
with no DAB reception,  is displayed.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 40.

If the current DAB station can no longer be tuned (e.g. there is no longer a
DAB signal), the unit will search and tune into this station on the FM fre-
quency band.
To scan the station through all of the frequencies, it is necessary that the
DAB station and the FM station broadcast the same station identification or
that the DAB indicates the FM station that the DAB station corresponds to.

the station name. Should the DAB station become available again, the unit
switches back to DAB mode after a while. 
