the station name including a regional iden-  
tifier, if applicable, will appear in the display,  
for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program-  
me in Lower Saxony, Germany). When RDS  
is activated, the preset buttons become pro-  
gramme buttons. You now know exactly  
which programme you have tuned into, ma-  
king it easy to find the desired station quickly.  
But RDS also offers you further advantages:  
REG - regional programme  
Certain radio programmes are split up at  
times into regional programmes offering lo-  
cal information. The 1st programme broad-  
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-  
grammes with different contents in the nor-  
thern German states of Schleswig-Holstein,  
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times  
of the day.  
If you are listening to a particular regional  
programme and wish to continue doing so,  
select “REG ON” in the DSC mode.  
If you leave the service area of the regional  
programme you are tuned into, or if you  
would like to take full advantage of RDS  
service, switch to “REG OFF” in the DSC  
mode.  
AF - Alternative frequency  
The “AF” function makes sure that the radio  
always tunes into the strongest frequency  
for the currently selected programme auto-  
matically.  
Press the AF.TA button for approximately 2  
seconds, until you hear a beep and “AF”  
appears in display field 3.  
The display will briefly indicate whether this  
function is switched on or off with “REG ON”  
or “OFF” when you switch on the “AF”  
function.  
While searching for the strongest reception  
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.  
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when  
the radio is switched on or one of the stored  
frequencies recalled, the unit is already au-  
tomatically searching for an alternative fre-  
quency.

Important: AF and PTY must be switched  
off (i.e. the symbols do not light up in the  
display).  
If necessary, deactivate these function by  
pressing “AF.TA” or “PTY”.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON  
The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhan-  
ced Other Networks, which means that in-  
formation is exchanged within a radio net-  
work.  
Many FM radio stations provide their ser-  
vice area with traffic messages at regular  
intervals.  
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-  
gramme stations transmit a special carrier  
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.  
If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in  
the display (Traffic Programme).  
In addition to these, there are also stations  
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-  
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON  
it is possible for them to forward the traffic  
messages broadcast by another traffic pro-

traffic messages remains active.  
Please note that several buttons have no

“TA” will disappear from the display.  
Automatic seek tuning start

If you leave the reception area for the traffic  
programme station you have tuned into while

a CD player.  
Note:  
Removing a CD  
Press the “Eject” button briefly.  
The CD will eject.  
The rocker switch acts as a successive  
switch, i.e. press it repeatedly to skip over

factured in the shape of a butterfly or a beer  
mug, for example, are not suitable for use

Using such CDs can very likely result in the  
destruction of the CD and the CD drive.  
We assume no responsibility for damages  
caused by using unsuitable CDs.  
Do not interfere with the automatic CD in-  
sert/eject function in any way as this might  
damage the mechanism.
