Selecting alternative
frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the
reception becomes weak or there are other
problems, navigation unit will automatically
search for a different station in the same network
which is broadcasting a stronger signal.
• AF is on as a default.
1
Touch "AF" in the FUNCTION menu.
Touching "AF" switches between "ON" and
"OFF".
Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or BSM when AF is on.
When you recall a preset station, the tuner
may update the preset station with a new
frequency from the station's AF list. (This is
only available when using presets on the
FM1 or FM2 bands.) No preset number
appears on the display if the RDS data for
the station received differs from that for
the originally stored station.
Sound may be temporarily interrupted by
another program during a AF frequency
search.
AF can be turned on or off independently
for each FM band.
Using PI Seek
If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative
frequency, or if you are listening to a broadcast
and the reception becomes weak, navigation unit
will automatically search for a different station
with the same programming. During the search,
PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted.
The muting is discontinued after completion of
the PI Seek, whether or not a different station is
found.
Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as
when travelling long distances, the unit can be
set to perform PI Seek during preset recall.

networks are organised differently
depending on the country (i.e., they may
change according to the time, country or
