The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
DAB digital radio reception allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a sin-
gle frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the trans-
mission of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather,
warnings, etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio signal
even causing it to fail completely.■
For vehicles with disc antennas, if the discs are obscured with film or metal-
coated stickers, you may experience interference.
■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the RDS and AF functions. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several station groups, when the signal is poor,
the same station is searched in a different station group.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
› While the station is received on the FM band, (
) is displayed after the sta-
tion name. When the relevant DAB station can be received again the marker
disappears ( ).
› If a DAB station is also not available in the FM frequency band due to poor
reception, the device will be switched to mute.
› If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tun-
nels, when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-
tion .
L-band
Different frequency ranges are used for DAB radio reception in different coun-
tries. In some countries the DAB radio reception is only in the so-called L-band.
› If you have any problems with the DAB wireless reception check that DAB
Automatic search in L-band is on.
› If there is no DAB radio reception in that country in the L-band, then it is bet-
ter to leave it off this menu item. The channel scan is faster.25Radio
