Operating The Radio With Rds; Af - Alternative Frequency; Reg - Regional Program; Selecting The Frequency Range - Blaupunkt LONDON RDM 104 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating the radio with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when listening to the radio.
More and more radio stations have begun to
broadcast RDS information in addition to
their normal programming.
As soon as the station program has been
identified, then the station symbol, including
regional program if applicable, will appear in
the display, for example, NDR1 NDS (Lower
Saxony).
When RDS is activated, the station buttons
become program buttons. You now know
exactly which program you have tuned into
and in future you can select this program
directly.
RDS offers a variety of advantages:

AF - Alternative frequency

The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the radio will always tune
into the strongest signal for the station you
are listening to in the current reception area
automatically.
This function has been activated when AF
appears in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off
• press the AF button briefly.
34
While the radio is looking for the strongest
reception signal, it will switch to mute briefly.
When SEARCH appears in the display after
the radio has been switched on or one of the
stored frequencies retrieved, then the radio
will automatically search for an alternative
frequency.
SEARCH will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or the complete frequency range has
been run through.
If no acceptable frequency can be found in
your reception range
• then select another station.

REG - regional program

Certain programs broadcast by radio stati-
ons are divided up at times into regional
programs. The 1st program broadcast by
NDR, for example, offers programs with dif-
ferent contents in the northern states of Ger-
many Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lo-
wer Saxony at certain times.
If you have tuned into a regional program and
wish to continue listening to it
• then press the AF button for longer
than 2 seconds until REG ON appears
in the display.
If REG ON is already activated, then REG
ON will appear in the display briefly when the
radio is switched on.
If you leave this regional program's reception
area or you would like to take advantage of
the full RDS service, then switch to REG
OFF.
• Press the AF button for longer than 2
seconds until REG OFF appears.

Selecting the frequency range

You can choose between FM (ultra shortwa-
ve), AM (medium wave) or LW (longwave)
frequency ranges.
Selecting FM
• Press the FM button briefly. FM for
T
frequency modulation will appear in the
display.
Selecting AM or LW
• Press the M•L button. M for AM or L for
LW will then appear in the display.
If you want to switch between AM and LW:
• Press M•L once more.
The following operating instructions apply to
all frequency ranges unless otherwise indi-
cated.
