RDS radio With RDS (Radio Data System) the radio can automatically change to the strongest transmit-ter. RDS provides the ability to receive e.g. trafficinformation and to search for certain programmetypes.
RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An FM transmitter in such a network sends informationthat gives an RDS radio the following functions:
• Switch automatically to a stronger transmitterif reception in the area is poor.
• Search for programme category, e.g. pro-gramme types or traffic information.
• Receive text information on current radioprogramme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only selected parts of its functionality.
When broadcasting news or traffic messages, the radio can switch stations, interrupting the audiosource currently in use. For example, if the CDplayer is in use, it is paused. The radio returns tothe previous audio source and volume when theset programme type is no longer broadcast. To go back earlier, press
