• If the radio station list tuning mode is enabled, then when you press the button more than two seconds the radio receiver finds and stores in the list the frequencies of FM or AM radio stations with the strongest signal. Updating the list of radio stations may take some time.
• If the radio station currently being received by the radio receiver is not an RDS radio station, then instead of the name of the radio station, the broadcast frequency is displayed on the display.

RDS Radio Message System

The RDS system allows additional information in coded digital form to be transmitted simultaneously with the main FM radio signal. The RDS system supports various information and service functions, such as displaying the name of the radio station, receiving traffic reports and local news, and automatically searching for a radio station transmitting a program of a certain genre.

Note: Some RDS service functions may not be available in some countries or regions.

Alternative Frequency (AF) radio signal

The AF mode works when listening to a radio station in the FM range, as well as when playing records on a CD (if the audio system previously worked in the FM range).

Automatic radio tuning function.

This feature compares the signal strength of radio stations on all alternative frequencies (aF frequency list) and selects the radio station with the best reception conditions.

Search for a radio station by PI identification code.

If the radio receiver has not found any suitable radio station as a result of searching the list of alternative AF frequencies, it automatically switches to searching for a radio station by PI code. When searching by PI code, the radio receiver scans the frequencies of all RDS radio stations that have the same PI code. During scanning, the sound is muted and the display shows PI SEARCH. The search stops as soon as the radio receiver finds a suitable radio station.

EON Extended Network Data Update (this function also works when the AF function is turned off).

Receiving data from the extended EON network allows you to automatically re-tune the frequencies of pre-programmed stations to the same radio network. In addition, you can use additional functions provided by this network. When receiving a signal from RDS EON radio stations in the FM band, the EON indicator lights up on the audio system display.

RDS functions

PS function (display the name of the radio station).

If the radio is tuned to an RDS station (manually or semi-automatically), RDS radio data reception starts and the name of the received station is displayed on the display.

If the radio receives PTY code 31 (emergency message code), the current audio system operation mode is automatically interrupted and the emergency announcement broadcast begins, with the message PTY31 ALARM indicated on the display. The volume level will be the same as when broadcasting traffic announcements. After the emergency announcement broadcast ends, the audio system will immediately return to the original operating mode.

Local radio reception mode (REG).

• Some local radio stations are united into a regional network, since each of them covers only a small area, limited by the number of repeaters. If during the trip the signal level received from the radio station becomes too weak, the RDS system automatically switches the audio system to another local radio station with a stronger signal.
• If you turn on the REG mode when the radio receiver is operating in the FM range and is tuned to a local radio station, the radio receiver's setting will be saved and switching to other local radio stations will not occur.
