13.4 RDS
RDS is an information system whose signals are additionally broadcast by most FM stations. With RDS programs, the name of
the programme appears as an abbreviation on the display. Further information, such as frequency, time and program type
(PTY) can be faded in. An RDS programme will be broadcast by several stations on different frequencies (alternative
frequencies). If an RDS programme has been selected, the device automatically switches to the alternative frequency that can
be received most clearly, as long as that is available and the AF function (section 13.6) has been turned on.
In order to access the RDS information, repeatedly press the “DIS/REC” button . The time, program type (PTY) and frequency
will appear in sequence on the display.

To activate the traffic announcement program, please press the “TA/TP” button briefly. The message “TA” will appear on the
display and the readiness for announcements is turned on.
To deactivate the traffic announcements, press the “TA/TP” button again. The message “TA” disappears and the readiness
for announcements has been switched off.
