RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS) ON FM

set uses the RDS information to offer you many
advantages including :

The set displays the name of the station instead
of its frequency.
AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY(AF)
The set remains tuned to the current station by
continually searching for the best possible
alternative frequency for reception.
Note :
You can switch off AF when not required,
see 'SETUP' (page15 ); option 'AF'.
ALARM MESSAGES (PTY ALARM)
This set automatically receives emergency
messages made by the broadcaster.
– During the messages the display shows
'ALARM' and the station-name alternately.
TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENTS (TA and NEWS)
