SELECTING A STATION BY NAME
 
RDS – Radio Broadcast Data System
 
Thanks to specially designed systems, limi-
tations inherent in mobile reception quality 
have been partially minimized:
The Radio Broadcast Data System (RDS) 
transmits supplementary information in 
the FM range. RDS transmitters thus offer 
the following characteristics:
 
>
 
Stations that broadcast at several 
frequencies automatically change to 
the frequency with the best reception 
quality
 
>
 
The station name will be indicated in the 
display after the RDS signals have been 
evaluated
 
>
 
Additional information can be indicated 
or called up in the display (e.g. text 
broadcasts from the station, PTY).
However, the reception of RDS data is only 
possible under favorable reception condi-
tions. If there is weak or interrupted recep-
tion, it can take quite a while before the 
station name appears in the display.
 
Station selection
 
1. Switch on RDS
"RDS ON" briefly appears in the display 
and then the name of the current 
station if the station transmits RDS 
information
2. Start scan
The scan mode begins with the station 
that was last set.
The scan mode is stopped as soon as a 
station is found.
Switch off RDS 
"RDS OFF" briefly appears in the display.
