RDS functions
This device supports RDS (Radio Data System) in the frequency range 87.5 - 107.9 MHz FM. The follow-
ing RDS functions are only available if they are supported by the selected radio station.
AF (Alternative Frequency)
The AF function enables the automatic switching of the receiv-
ing frequency when leaving the reception range of a transmitter.
The device then checks the reception quality and automatically
switches to a different frequency, when the same program in
another reception area is also available. This is done automati-
cally, without the user is notice anything.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
The TA function enables the interruption of the media playback
(audio player, CD, DVD, etc.) for traffic announcements. After
the announcement, the previous media playback starts again.
PTY (Program Type)
The PTY function is a classification of radio stations in different
categories. Each program of a RDS radio station is classified
categorically.
After you have selected a category, the unit automatically
searches for the next matching radio station in this category.
During the „Automatic scan“ only programs will be found, that
match to the chosen category. If you no longer want this func-
tion, select the category „None“.
