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 panel or touch AF icon on the screen to turn the AF function on or off. When the
function is on, AF symbol will blink on the display.
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 a stronger signal,
so that you do not have to retune the stations when driving between different transmitter coverage areas.
PS (Program Service name): the name of station will be display instead of frequency.
If RDS service is not available in your area, turn off the AF mode.
TA (Traffic Alarm) function
Press TA button on the panel or touch TA icon on the screen to turn TA function on or off. When on, the TA
