RDS FUNCTION

The ATS-909X incorporates circuitry to receive FM stations
transmitting an RDS (Radio Data System) signal. When receiving
an RDS station the display will show the station call letters and if
the RDS station is also transmitting a CT function (clock time) it
will automatically correct the time every minute. It is important to
make sure that the Home Time (as described under “SETTING
THE CLOCK (REAL TIME)” is set correctly. In addition if your time
zone is operating under Daylight Savings Time make sure the DST
(Daylight Savings Time) function is disabled. For the clock time
function to operate the following conditions must exist:

a. TIME SET switch must be set in the AUTO position.
