RDS function
RDS (Radio Data System) service availability varies with areas. Please understand if RDS service is not
available in you area, the following service is not available, either.
AF (Alternative frequencies) function
Press AF button on the RC or AF/REG button on the panel to enable AF function. When the radio signal
strength is poor, enabling the AF function will allow the unit to automatically search another station with the
same PI (Program Identification) as the current station but with stronger signal strength.
Note: AF indicator on the display will flash until RDS information is received. If RDS service is not available
in your area, turn off the AF mode.
TA (Traffic alarm) function
Press TA/EON button on the panel to activate the traffic alarm function.
When TA function is activated, it will search the station with TA information automatically. If there is no TA
information, it will search the station with TP information automatically, if there is no TP information either,
it will return to the previous station after searching.
When receiving the station with TP information but without TA information, TP icon is on and TA icon keeps
blinking; when receiving the station with TP and TA information, both TP and TA icons are on.
When playing in other mode and TA information is received, it will change to the radio mode automatically.
After playing over, it will return to the previous mode. Press TA/EON button on the panel once to ignore the
received TA information, do it twice to turn off the function.
PTY (Program type) function
Press PTY/PROG button on the RC to open PTY program type list, and repeat pressing this button to select a
PTY type. After selecting the program type you want, press number buttons 1 - 6 on the RC to start search.
Press it again to stop the PTY search. If PTY code is different or not available, “PTY NONE” blinks on the
display.
