SELECTING A STATION


The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode. This phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audiosystem.


PRESETTING A STATION

After selecting a station, press one of the buttons
on the numerical keypad for 2 seconds to preset the current station.

An audible signal confi rms that the station has been preset. The qualit
y of reception is represented by the number of active waves in this symbol.
