News Broadcasts
Your audio unit may interrupt normal
reception to broadcast news bulletins from
stations on the FM waveband, radio data
system or other enhanced network linked
stations.
The display indicates there is an incoming
announcement during news broadcasts.
When the audio unit interrupts for a news
broadcast, the preset volume level is the
same as traffic announcements.
1. Press MENU.
2. Select AUDIO or AUDIO SETTINGS.
3. Scroll to NEWS and turn on or off by
pressing OK.
4. Press MENU to return.
Alternative Frequencies
The majority of programs that broadcast
on the FM waveband have a program
identification code that audio units can
recognize.
When your vehicle moves from one
transmission area to another with the
alternative frequencies tuning switched
on, this function searches for the strongest
station signal.
Under certain conditions, however,
alternative frequencies tuning may
temporarily disrupt normal reception.

Audio System
When selected, the unit continually
evaluates signal strength and if a better
signal becomes available, the unit switches
to that alternative. It mutes while it checks
a list of alternative frequencies and if
necessary, it searches once across the
selected waveband for a genuine
alternative frequency.
It restores radio reception when it finds one
or, if it cannot find one, returns to the
original stored frequency.
When selected, AF appears in the display.
1. Press MENU.
2. Select AUDIO or AUDIO SETTINGS.
3. Scroll to ALTERNAT FREQ. or
ALTERNATIVE FREQ. and turn on or off
by pressing OK.
4. Press MENU to return.
Regional Mode
Regional mode controls the behavior of
alternative frequencies switching between
regionally related networks of a parent
broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a large
network across a large part of the country.
At various times of the day this large
network may be broken down into a
number of smaller regional networks,
typically centered on major towns or cities.
When not split into these smaller variants,
the whole network carries the same
programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents random
alternative frequency switches when
neighboring regional networks are not
carrying the same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger
coverage area if neighboring regional
networks carry the same programming,
but it can cause random alternative
frequency switches if they are not.
1. Press MENU.
2. Select AUDIO or AUDIO SETTINGS.
