Retuning the same
programme automatically
— Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function
automatically selects and retunes the station
with the strongest signal in a network. By
using this function, you can continuously
listen to the same programme during a long-
distance drive without having to retune the
station manually.
1
Select an FM station (page 11).

Press (AF) repeatedly until “AF-ON”
appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative
station with a stronger signal in the same
network.
Notes
• When there is no alternative station in the area
and you do not need to search for an alternative
station, turn the AF function off by pressing
(AF) repeatedly until “AF-OFF” appears.
• When “NO AF” and the station name flash
alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an
alternative station in the network.
• If the station name starts flashing after selecting
a station with the AF function on, this indicates
that no alternative frequency is available. Press
either side of (SEEK/AMS) while the station name
is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts
searching for another frequency with the same PI
(Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK”
appears and no sound is heard). If the unit
cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears,
and the unit returns to the previously selected
frequency.
