23.10 HOW TO GET IT
The RDS option could be pre-installed in the factory if notified when ordering the unit or it can be installed at
the customer’ premise after receiving it.
In the latter case, the RDS
software must be activated with a proper Activation Key, uniquely determined by your
unit firmware's serial number.
RDS option will be released only upon reception of firmware code and S-N!
Please proceed as follows:
1) Make sure your processor is already fitted with MPX option
Check the equipment rear panel: it must feature Bnc connectors, as in the following picture:

3) Supply the firmware code and the S-N to the manufacturer
The manufacturer will return a special Activation Software Key. Please follow instructions on the Chapter

____________________
NOTE: When the RDS option is not installed, the processor still allows to broadcast a demo version (RDS Demo), which
supports all the services of the full version but which is not user-programmable**. When enabled, RDS programming is
achieved through the Pc control software which comes with the unit.
** when entering the OPTIONAL CONTROLS / RDS MODULE / RDS LEVEL menu, the message ‘RDS DEMO’ is
displayed.
