RDS
button
First
of all RDS
(Radio Data System),
makes
it
possible
to
show
the
name
of the
station being received
in the
display
- "NDR
2",
for
example.
Previously,
for
stations broadcasting
on
several frequencies,
you had to
manually
tune
the
radio
to
station frequency with
best reception
as you
travelled from
one
area
to the
next. This
was
frequently
necessary when reception conditions were
poor.
Now,
RDS
automatically selects
the
best frequency from
a
list
of
alternative fre-
quencies
and
tunes
the
radio
to it.
This pro-
cess
is
almost entirely inaudible!
^This ensures you
the
best possible recep-
tion
in
a transmitting range even under unfa-
vourable reception conditions.
Operating
RDS
•
The RDS is
switched on/off
by
pressing
the
RDS
button.
"RDS
ON"
appears
in the
display when
the
unit
is
switched
on.
"RDS
OFF"
appears briefly
in the
display
when
the
unit
is
switched
off.
When RDS
is
switched off,
the
radio will
not
automatically transfer
to
alternative fre-
quencies.
If
the
radio
is
switched
on and the RDS is
switched
off,
"RDS OFF" will appear briefly
in
the
display.
• When selecting
a new
frequency
(e.g.
station search, station buttons
etc.) RDS is
automatically switched
on
again.
When
the RDS is
switched
on,
stations
which
are not
transmitting using
RDS can
still
be
received.
It is
therefore recom-
mended
to
leave
RDS on as
perma-
nently
as
possible.
If when
the RDS is
switched
on a
station
is
selected which
is
transmitting using
RDS,
the frequency initially appears
in the
display.
Once
the
radio
has
evaluated
the
informa-
tion,
the
frequency will
be
replaced
by the
name
of the
station.
•
"RDS
ON/OFF"
can be
stored together
with
the
desired station
on the
station but-
tons.

further
