Note

■ The Radio Data System (RDS) is used to transfer additional information. TheRDS enables program identification, program type identification (PTY), the recep-tion of traffic reports (TP) or automatic station tracking, for example. If there issufficient reception, RDS-compatible radio stations will be displayed by stationname rather than station frequency.■ The Alternative frequency (AF) function ensures that the best receivable fre-quency for the selected station is set automatically.■ In countries where the RDS function is not adequately supported, the devicemay not be fully functional. We therefore recommend switching off the RDS re-gional setting as well as the Alternative frequency (AF) setting, if applicable. Oth-erwise, these settings can affect the functionality of the radio.
