- TA SEEK mode:
When newly turned station does not receive TP information for 5 sec., the radio retunes to next station
which has not the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information.
In TA seek mode, the current station can be changed to the completely different station because the
unit searches TP station when the eld strength of the current station is very weak, or the current sta-
tion has no TP signal.
- TA ALARM mode:
Any automatic retune mode is not activated, just can hear Beep sound.
PROGRAMME IDENTIFICATION (PI)
This information consists of a code enabling the receiver to distinguish between countries, areas in
which the same programme is transmitted, and the identication of the programme itself. The code is
not intended for direct display and is assigned to each individual radio programme, to enable it to be
distinguished from all other programmes.

tion.
BEEP ON: BEEP sound can be heard from speaker when the buttons are pressed.
USING THE RDS FUNCTION
What is RDS?
The RDS (Radio Data System) is a digital information system developed by the EBU (European
Broadcast Union). Piggy-backed on normal FM broadcasts, RDS offers a variety of information services
and automatic retuning functions for RDS-compatible car stereos.
In 1988, RDS became available in the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Ireland and Sweden.
Test transmissions are being conducted in many other european countries. It is expected that RDS will
be available in most western european countries in the near future.
