The last adjustment will be stored automati-

If the setting remains unchanged within 8
seconds, the display will switch back to the
previous condition.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
On FM, the Radio Data System offers you
more convenience when listening to the ra-
dio.
More and more radio stations have begun to
broadcast RDS information alongside their
programs.
As soon as a program has been identified,
the station name including a regional identi-
fier, if applicable, will appear in the display,
for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program
in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the station buttons
become program buttons. You now know
exactly which program you have tuned into,
making it easy to find the desired station
quickly.
But RDS offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the strongest frequency of
the currently selected program is always
tuned in automatically.
This function is activated when "AF" appears
in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
•
press the AF button briefly.
While the radio is searching 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 recalled, the radio is auto-
matically searching for an alternative fre-
quency.
"SEARCH" will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or the complete frequency range has
been run through.
If the reception quality of the selected pro-
gram becomes too bad,
•
tune into another station.
REG - regional program
Certain radio programs are split up at times
into regional programs offering local informa-
tion. The 1st program broadcast by NDR, for
example, offers programs with different con-
tents in the northern states of Germany
Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower
Saxony at certain times of the day. If you are
listening to one program and move to an area
where another linked regional program beco-
mes stronger, the unit will switch to that
program.
If you wish to continue listening to the first
station,
•
press the AF button for approximately 2
seconds. "REG ON" appears in the
display.
