The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
Radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single fre-
quency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmission
of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings,
etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can interfere with the radio
signal even causing it to fail completely.■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the AF and RDS settings. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.
■
For vehicles with window antennas, if the windows have foil stuck to them
or metal-coated stickers this may cause you to experience some interference.

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several sender groups, when the signal is poor,
the same station is searched in a different sender 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 being received on the FM band, (
) is displayed after the
station name. The () marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can
be received again 
).
› If a DAB station is also not available in the FM 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
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different frequency ranges
are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception only in the so-called L-
band.
› If you have any problems with the DAB wireless reception it is necessary to
ensure that the DAB Automatic tuning in L-band is on.
› If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then it is better to
leave this menu item turned off. The channel scan is therefore faster.25Radio
