RDS Radio Data System
Your unit is capable of receiving and evaluating RDS information which is broad-
casted along with the normal broadcast signal. The channel name is displayed and
automatically stored in the unit´s memory, overwriting names previously stored.
RADIOTEXT
GB
Some RDS stations broadcast RADIOTEXT, which is additional information on
the station and programme being broadcast. RADIOTEXT information appears
as 'running' text in the display. RADIOTEXT is transmitted character-by-
character by the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until the
entire text has been completely received.

running text of the RADIOTEXT signal can be seen.
– If a station does not broadcast RADIOTEXT, the unit switches automatically
to the frequency indication.
Switching displays
• Pressing INFO briefly switches the display (when available) between station
name (RDS or one you have entered), RADIOTEXT (with RDS stations), and
frequency.
– When the station name is displayed, only the memory location number is
displayed to the left of the name.
