Page 32 MULTIPATH DISTORTION / MUTING Please note: An integrally mounted screen aerial may give rise to increase multipath distortion or spurious muting of the audio output. The use of an externally mounted rod aerial may reduce or possibly eliminate such problems. Please check that this has been connected to the +12 volt antenna wire of your radio. If you are in any doubt of this connection please contact the vehicle dealer or Goodmans installation helpline. IMPORTANT: Do not forget to remove the transit screws on top of the unit, before removing the fixing cage and installing the unit. [. . . ] The illustration below shows an example: four stations of the same broadcasting network and a driver passes through from the point A to B. The reception frequency of the station in the network changes from 98. 5 MHz to 102. 5 MHz as the driver passes through each transmitter. By using the AF function, the driver can keep listening to the programme in the same broadcasting network without retuning operation while driving from the point A to B. 107. 6 MHz 96. 0 MHz 102. 5 MHz Point B 98. 5 MHz Point A Station Station Traffic information Reception - TA function Searches and stands by for a traffic information station using the TP and TA data. By this function, the unit automatically monitors the station and changes its mode to the traffic information reception when the broadcast starts even whilst listening to CD.

Tune in a desired FM station using the automatic or manual tuning methods. In a few seconds, station name will be displayed. FI 104. 30 BBC RI Notes · RDS data can be received only on the FM band. · The RDS functions of this unit cannot be used if the received FM station is not transmitting the RDS data and may not work properly in area without RDS transmission. To change the display to frequency or programme type name Press DSP (Display) (15) Press on DSP (15) changes the display as follows: Station name display Clock Frequency display Program type display If the RDS station is not transmitting the PTY (program type) or CT (Clock) data, programme type or clock will not show in the display. P. 19 Goodmans Product Information Helpline (02392) 391100 Installation Helpline (01132) 868613 AF function AUTOMATIC RE-TUNING 3 Note: Auto Re-tuning will only operate on FM band. Tune to a desired RDS station using the automatic or manual tuning methods. If no AF data is received, the AF symbol blinks. How the AF function works? In AF mode, the radio measures at regular intervals the signal strength at frequencies that are mentioned in the list of Alternative Frequencies (AF's) of the current station. If an alternative frequency is found, it switches immediately to the new frequency if the quality of the current station becomes suddenly very poor, or if its RDS data cannot be received. The quality of a station is a function of signal level as well as multipath condition. Note: In areas of severe multipath reception this may cause noise or the AF function to constantly change. Try using the AF function later. Regional Press AF button (3) longer than 2 seconds (until the radio beeps. ) Displays shows REGIONAL Mode status and allows switching the REGIONAL Mode ON/OFF. The current state of the REGIONAL Mode is indicated by a message "REG ON" or "REG OFF". To check whether an Alternative Frequency is a real Alternative for the current station, the radio compares PI codes. (Programme Identity) Regional Mode is ON: The PI codes must be exactly identical. Regional Mode is OFF: The Region identification code in the PI code is ignored. When regional mode is OFF, the radio may switch from a National Programme to a local variant of that Programme, or from a local station in one area to a local station of an other area. When Regional Mode is ON, the radio will only switch to an alternative station that broadcasts exactly the same programme. [. . . ] If the interference is severe, retuning to an alternate frequency (BBC often use more than 1 frequency) or selecting and tuning into a different waveband may be necessary.

It should be noted that in the majority of cases, interference is mostly caused by a missing or defective device or the ignition HT leads are worn or are of poor quality. SUPPRESSING THE IGNITION COIL TO CONTACT BREAKER CB­ TO IGNITION SWITCH +12 VOLT 1 MFD CAPACITOR COIL The ignition circuit consists of the coil, distributor, spark plug leads, and spark plugs, all of these components pass very high voltage and unless they are screened or suppressed will cause electrical interference to the radio.
