Radio mode When switching it on the device runs in the radio mode. To switch to radio mode from other operation modes, push the MODE button so many times until a frequency or the name of a radio station is shown in the display. What is RDS? RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmission of additional information with the FM radio programme transmitted in many European countries. RDS radio tuner can filter this information from the transmit signal and use it for various functions. This device uses the following RDS functions: -- Display of the name of the radio station -- Display of programme type (PTY) and search for programme contents -- Display of time in the display. When you are tuned to a station that transmits RDS information, the name of the radio station is automatically displayed. Selecting the frequency band Press the BAND button several times to select the desired frequency band: FM1 / FM2 / FM3 = FM, MW 1 / MW 2 = AM (Medium wave). Searching for radio stations Manual tuning Press the TUNE/TRACK button 9 or :, repeatedly to search step by step for a frequency higher or lower than the one shown in the display. Search run to the next radio station When you hold down the TUNE/TRACK button 9 or : for one second, search run will start backward or forward until a strong enough signal is received. Provided the signal received is strong enough, the programme is played in stereo and the symbol in the display lights up. Area Scan Briefly press the SCN button to start a search run that is constantly scanning the current frequency range. The car radio will play every radio station it finds for a few seconds before 13 continuing the search run. When the car radio finds a programme you would like to listen to, press the SCN button again to stop the search run. Saving radio stations Saving radio stations manually If you want to call up your favourite radio stations by station buttons you will have to save them first. Since the device only has 6 station buttons, the FM band is divided into FM1 / FM2 / FM3 (3 x 6 = 18). Each F range comprises the entire frequency range to select from but at the same time stands for different groups of saved stations: FM 1 = stations 1 - 6 FM 2 = stations 7 - 12 FM 3 = stations 13 - 18 To save your favourite radio stations e. g. Station number "1" appears in the display and the station is now saved. Saving radio stations automatically As an alternative, you can also have the device save radio stations it receives with a strong signal and allocate them to a station number. Just hold down the A/PS button for one second in the desired frequency range. Once the device has saved the stations it starts playing each one for a few seconds. If you want to stop this and continue to listen to the station that is being played just press the A/PS button briefly. Calling up saved stations To call up the saved stations, select the F range first and then briefly press the corresponding station button. If you press the A/PS button briefly, the radio will play the saved stations in the current F range for a few seconds each. If you want to stop this and continue to listen to the station that is being played just press the A/PS button briefly again. Changing the display Press the DISP button repeatedly to show name of station => F range and frequency => time => programme type => one after another in the display when receiving RDS radio stations. If you are not tuned to an RDS station you can only see frequency and time in the display when pressing the DISP button. 14 AF - Alternative frequencies (for RDS stations only) The programme of a radio station is broadcast by several transmitting stations distributed across the receiving area with every station transmitting with a different frequency. The AF function constantly checks if the current radio station could be received on a different frequency transmitting the same programme with a stronger signal. [. . . ] If the desired track is displayed, press the VOL button in order to start the playback. Using external storage media This device will also play MP3 files from external storage media. You find the ports provided for this on the casing front next to the operation panel. Because of the great variety of products with USB ports and their sometimes quite manufacturer-specific functions we can neither guarantee that all devices will be recognized nor that all operating options that are possible in theory will actually work. With the MODE button you can switch to different modes of the car radio even with the USB stick plugged in. Ø Never connect here a USB-MP3 player, only pure USB memory devices are allowed. [. . . ]
