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.
■
The device may not be fully functional in countries where RDS is not adequately
supported. We therefore recommend switching off the RDS regional setting as
well as the Alternative frequency (AF) setting, f applicable. Otherwise, these set-
tings can affect the functionality of the radio.
