Note
■
The Radio Data System (RDS) is used to transfer additional information. The
RDS enables program identification, program type identification (PTY), the recep-
tion of traffic reports (TP) or automatic station tracking, for example. If there is
sufficient reception, RDS-compatible radio stations will be displayed by station
name rather than station frequency.■
The Alternative frequency (AF) function ensures that the best receivable fre-
quency for the selected station is set automatically.
■
In countries where the RDS function is not adequately supported, the device
may not be fully functional. We therefore recommend switching off the RDS re-
gional setting as well as the Alternative frequency (AF) setting, if applicable. Oth-
erwise, these settings can affect the functionality of the radio.
