RDS functions
Radio Data System – RDS links FM transmit-
ters into a network. An FM transmitter in such
a network sends information that gives an
RDS radio the following functions:
• Automatically switches to a stronger
transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Searches for programme form, such as
traffic information or news.
• Receives text information on current radio
programme.
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
Programme functions
In FM mode, the radio can search for stations
with certain programme types. If a desired
programme type is found, the radio can
switch stations, interrupting the audio source
currently in use. For example, if the CD player
is in use, it is paused. The interrupting trans-
mission is played at a preset volume; see
page 214. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set pro-
gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm ( ALARM ),
traffic information ( TP ), news ( NEWS ), and
programme types ( PTY ) interrupt one
another in order of priority, where alarm has
the highest priority and programme types
has the lowest. For further programme inter-
ruption settings, see EON and REG on
page 214. The programme functions are
modified via the menu system, see page 206.
Returning to the interrupted audio
source
Press EXIT to return to the interrupted audio
source.
Alarm
This function is used to warn of serious acci-
dents and catastrophes. The alarm cannot
be temporarily interrupted or deactivated.
The message
ALARM! appears on the dis-

Traffic information – TP
This function allows traffic informa-
tion sent within a set station’s RDS
network to break through.
TP indi-
cates that the function is activated.
If the set station can send traffic information
then appears on the display.
