RDS mode
The unit provides basic functions of RDS, including AF (Alternative Frequency),
TA (Traffic Announcement) and PTY (Program Type) Selection.
Alternative Frequencies Lists are used for the same program service and used in
conjunction with the PI code (Program Identification code)to assist automatic tuning.
Using this information, a radio can automatically search out another station that is
playing the same material. This is useful when the station you are listening to is
fading out.
To activate AF function, touch the [AF] button on the user interface.
To cancel this function, do the operation above again.
Note :
During auto switching radio frequency, some interference could be heard.
Turning off AF function can settle this problem.
The TA (Traffic Announcement flag) function t receive traffic
announcements automatically no matter what media source is playing back. The
TA function can be activated a TP (Traffic Program) station broadcasting traffic
information.
When TA is activated and a traffic announcement is received, the current playing
source will be overridden by the traffic announcement if the current radio band is
FM,indicating that the unit is waiting for traffic announcements.
The unit returns to the original source after the traffic announcement has been
received.
To activate TA function, touch the [TA] button on the user interface.
To cancel this function, do the operation above again.

will return to the original radio frequency.
