RDS functions

Radio Data System – RDS links FM trans-
mitters into a network. An FM transmitter in
such a network sends information that gives
an RDS radio the following functions:
• Automatically switches to a stronger
transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Searches for programme form, such as
traffic information or news.
• Receives text information on current radio
programme.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
Programme functions
In FM mode, the radio can search for stations
with certain programme forms. If a desired
programme form is found, the radio can
switch stations, interrupting the audio source
currently in use. For example, if the CD player
is in use, it is paused. The interrupting trans-
mission is played at a preset volume; see
page 188. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set
programme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (ALARM),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS ), and
programme types (PTY ) interrupt one
another in order of priority, where alarm has
the highest priority and programme types has
the lowest. For further programme inter-
ruption settings, see EON and REG on
page 188. The programme functions are
modified via the menu system, see page 182.
Returning to the interrupted audio
source
Press EXIT to return to the interrupted audio
source.
Alarm
This function is used to warn of serious
accidents and catastrophes. The alarm
cannot be temporarily interrupted or deacti-
vated. The message ALARM! appears on the
display when an alarm message is trans-
mitted.
Traffic information – TP
This function allows traffic infor-
mation sent within a set station's
RDS network to break through. TP
indicates that the function is
activated. If the set station can send traffic
information, TP
appears on the display.
