AF Button
In some cases, an RDS station is part of a
network of stations broadcasting the same
programming (for example, BBC1 program-
ming in the UK may be available at several
different frequencies). Stations broadcasting
this programming may transmit an RDS data
signal providing the tuner with a list of alter-
nate frequencies where this programming is
available. If this data list is transmitted, an AF
indicator will appear in the DISPLAY.
The AF button is used to scan the alternate
frequencies to find a stronger signal. The button
is only functional when the AF indicator is lit.
1. Press the AF button. The tuner will scan each
of the alternate frequencies for the same
programming in the stored list and tune to
the strongest signal.
2. If no station is located, the tuner will return
to the last previously tuned station.
3. If the signal strength of the new station is
weaker, the tuner will revert to the previ-
ously tuned station.
4. Cancel the AF function by pressing any
button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).
