DAB station tracking
When a DAB transmitter is a part of several broadcast stations and if the cur-
rent station group is not available on any other frequency, then when the sig-
nal is poor, the same station will be searched in another channel group.
Automatic change from DAB to FM
With bad DAB reception the device tries to find an FM transmitter.
The station name is followed by ( ) while the station is being received on the
FM band. The ( ) marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can be re-
ceived again.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception, the
device will be switched to mute.
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different broadcasting rang-
es are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception is only possible in the
so called L-band.
If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then we recom-
mend turning off the L-band. The channel scan is therefore faster.21Radio

Some applications require that the data connection in the connected device is
turned on.
By establishing the Android Auto ™
connection all existing Bluetooth ®
connec-
tions are terminated to the device and a Bluetooth ®
connection using the

A device connected using Android Auto ™
cannot be used as an audio source in
the menu Media.
If route guidance is active at this moment in the device, then this is terminated
by starting the route guidance in the Android Auto ™
