Radio operation
Selecting a waveband
Your radio can receive the fol-
lowing wavebands:
UKW (FM), MW and LW (AM) .
The MW and LW (AM) bands
allow the listener to tune into
outlying stations since the radio
waves are propagated both as
ground waves along the earth’s
surface and as spatial waves
that are reflected by the iono-
sphere.
The FM band offers by far the
best reception compared with
the other wavebands. However,
the transmitting range is short
since the radio waves are prop-
agated in straight lines.
Selecting a waveband
• To select a waveband, press
the frequency symbol on the
radio/cassette button.
— The frequency band changes
in the following sequence:
FM1 = FM2 = FM3 =
AM (LW/MW) = FM1 ...
Selecting stations by
frequency
Selecting stations manually
Press the MAN button
—
MAN (manual) is displayed on
the operating mode bar
• Press or hold dow n one of the
station scan buttons
— The frequency changes each
time the button is pressed

ated, the tuner also tries to

RDS - Radio Data System
Sophisticated systems have
now solved many of the prob-
lems of listening to the radio
while driving:
The Radio Data System (RDS)
is used to broadcast supple-
mentary information on the
UKW (FM) waveband. Radio
stations that broadcast RDS
information provide the follow-
ing features:
— Radio stations that broadcast
on multiple frequencies, auto-
matically switch to the fre-
quency with the best
reception
— Once the RDS signals have
been processed, the station
name is displayed
— Supplementary information
can be displayed or called up
(e.g. text messages from the
radio station)
RDS data can however only be
received under good reception
conditions. With poor or dis-
torted reception, there may be
a prolonged delay before the
station name is displayed.
