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 .

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.
