Save Your Preset Stations

There are six numbered preset buttons which can store and recall stations for

each band. While listening to a radio station you would like to save as a pre-set,

button you pressed is now the pre-set button for that station.

While listening to the AM radio, press and hold the F/PS button. The receiver will

automatically scan and save stations of the 2 AM bands.

Scan and Preview Saved Stations

Press the F/PS button once and the receiver will scan the radio stations in the

Radio Data System (RDS) Operation

The Radio Data System (RDS) simultaneously transmits digital data along with

the audio signal on FM radio. Although RDS is a European standard, it is also used

in the USA, where it is called Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS). RDS enables

trac reports to be received and provides many facilities, including enabling the

radio station name and program information to be displayed on the display panel.

RDS service availability varies with areas. If RDS service is not available in your

area, the following services are not available, either.

AF-Alternative Frequency

Press the AF button on the faceplate to turn the Alternative Frequency function

on or o. When the radio signal strength is poor, enabling the AF function will

allow the unit to tune to the same PI (Program Identication) as the current

station but with stronger signal strength, so that you do not have to retune the

stations when driving between dierent transmitter coverage areas. When the

AF symbol is on, RDS information is received; when AF symbol is ashing, RDS

information is not yet received.

PS (Program Service name): the name of station will be display instead of

frequency.

If RDS service is not available in your area, turn o the AF mode. The default

setting is OFF.
