RDS FUNCTION (if available in your area) 
RDS (Radio Data System) - automatically switches to the strongest signal 
for the station you are listening so you don't have to retune your radio 
manually as you drive around. 
 
If one of the three setting (AF
、TA、PTY) is turned on you can check RDS
station information by pressing MENU button then rotate Function/Select 
knob to view channel name, frequency or PTY information. If AF/TA/PTY 
settings are not turned on, you cannot see this information. 
Below are some of the acronyms you will see on the display and what they 
stand for: 
 
AF (Alternative Frequency) - shows that RDS is tuning to the strongest 
signal for the station you have selected. It retunes to a different frequency 
when you move into another area. 
 
AF operations: press MENU button until the AF settings is on display. 
Rotate Function/Select knob 
to turn on/off AF function. The ―AF‖
characters will be displayed on LCD if AF is on. When there is RDS signal 
currently playing and the signal is below a certain level, the radio will switch 
to the alternative stations which can receive good signal.
