What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. By receiving the RDS data, this receiver can do the following: � Programme Type (PTY) Search (see page 15) � Temporarily switches to Traffic Announcement�TA Standby Reception. (See the right column.) � Temporarily switches to your favorite programme�PTY Standby Reception. (See pages 17 and 40.) � Tracing the same programme automatically �Network-Tracking Reception (see page 17) � Programme Search (see page 40)
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store
other PTY codes into other preset numbers.
4 Finish the procedure.
