AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency
search)
The radio can operate in two different modes
in the RDS system:
❍ "AF Switching On": search for alterna-
tive frequencies activated (display shows
"AF");
❍ "AF Switching Off": alternative frequen-
cy search not activated.
Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:
❍ press the MENU button and select "AF
Switching On";
❍ press the ¯ / ˙ buttons to turn the
function on/off.
FUNCTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
With the function activated, the radio auto-
matically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same pro-
gramme. While driving, you can continue to
listen to the same station without having to
change the frequency when you change
zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive the
station that you are listening to in the area
you are driving through.
If the AF function is activated, "AF" will light
up in the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio is no longer capable of receiving
the station tuned into, the radio will activate
the automatic search during which the dis-
play will show "FM Search" (only for the
top of the range radio).
With the AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the display
of the name of the radio station continue to
remain activated.
The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.
