12. AF (Alternative Frequencies) REG Function
a) AF is a function that works with the help of RDS (Radio Data System) and
can only be used with FM stations. The radio searches in the background
for the best frequency reception of the station that has been tuned into.
If the AF function has been switched on, the radio continuously tests the
signal strength of the AF frequency. The test interval for each AF frequency
depends on the signal strength of the current station and varies from a few
minutes in the case of a strong signal to a few seconds in the case of weak
signals. Whenever the new AF frequency is stronger than the station that is
currently tuned in, the radio switches to this frequency for a short time and
the message „NEW FREQUENCY" is displayed for one to two seconds. As
the mute time during the frequency change and the test time is very short,
this is almost inaudible during the normal programme.
The AF function is activated by briefl y pressing the A.F button and the
status of the AF function is shown in the display by an AF symbol.
• If the AF symbol appears in the display, the AF function is switched on
and RDS transmission data is being received.
• If the AF symbol fl ashes in the display, the AF function is selected but
no RDS signal can be received at the moment.
• Press the A.F button again to switch off this function. The AF symbol in
the display goes off.
b) REG Function
At certain times some stations divide up their programmes into regional
programmes with varying content.
REG ON: If the A.F button is pressed for a longer time the regional mode
is switched on. The message „REG ON" appears in the display for a few
seconds.
