— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function
automatically selects and re-tunes the station
with the strongest signal in a network. By
using this function, you can continuously
listen to the same programme during a long-
distance drive without having to re-tune the
station manually.

Notes
• "NO AF" and the station name flashes
alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative
station in the network.
• If the station name starts flashing after selecting
a station with the AF function on, this indicates
that no alternative frequency is available. Press
(SEEK/MANU) while the station name is flashing
(within eight seconds). The unit starts searching
for another frequency with the same PI
(Programme Identification) data ("PI seek"
appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot
find another frequency, "NO PI" appears, and the
unit returns to the originally selected frequency.
Listening to a regional programme
The "REG" (regional on) function of this unit
lets you stay tuned to a regional programme
without being switched to another regional
station. (Note that you must turn the AF
function on.) The unit is factory preset to
"REG" but if you want to turn off the function,
do the following.
Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds
until "REG" disappears.
Note that turning the "REG" function off
might cause the unit to switch to another
regional station within the same network.
Note
This function does not work in the United
Kingdom and in some other areas.
