AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes using RDS:
❒
“AF Switching On”: search for alternative frequencies active (the
letters “AF” appear on the display);
❒
“AF Switching Off”: search for alternative frequencies not active.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the function:
❒
press the MENU button and select “AF Switching On”;
❒
press the / buttons to activate/deactivate the function.
When the function is activated, the radio automatically tunes into
the station with the strongest signal broadcasting the same
programme. While driving, the same station can be continuously
listened to without having to change the frequency when you
change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station that you are
listening to in the area you are driving through.
If the AF function has been activated, “AF” will light up in the
display.
If the AF function has been activated and the radio is not able to
receive the current station, the radio activates the automatic search,
during which “FM Search” appears on the display (only for top-of-
the-range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS functions,
such as the display of the station name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.
