Using RDS Functions
PI Seek Function
The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. “PI SEEK” appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek.
The muting is discon-
tinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI Seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency
.
PI Seek
If the tuner fails to locate a suitable alternative frequency or if the broadcasting signal is too weak for proper reception, the PI Seek will automatically start.
Auto PI Seek (for preset station)

Auto PI Seek is OFF
