Safety precautions
RDS (Radio Data System)
When listening to an RDS station, the
programme service name of the station is
displayed, advising you quickly which station is
being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit frequency data for the same station.
When you are making long trips, this function
automatically alternative switches to the
particular frequency with the best reception
for the particular network of stations that you
want to listen to. The data is automatically
stored, allowing you to switch quickly to
another RDS stations, broadcasting the same
programme, that has better reception. These
include stations stored in the station preset
memory that you often listen to.
Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other
Network> also transmit information about
other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station
that is not transmitting traffic information, but
another RDS station starts transmitting a
traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically
switches to the other station for the duration
of the bulletin.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission (announcing
disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are
interrupted to allow the warning to be
received.
