a network sends information that gives an
RDS radio the following functions:
• Automatically switches to a stronger
transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
• Receives text information on current radio
programme.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the au-
dio source currently in use. For example, if
the CD player is in use, it is paused. The in-
terrupting transmission is played at a preset
volume, see page 117. The radio returns to
the previous audio source and volume when
the set programme type is no longer broad-
cast.
The programme functions alarm (ALARM),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and
programme types (PTY) interrupt one anoth-
er in order of priority, where alarm has the
highest priority and programme types has
the lowest. For further programme interrup-
tion settings, see EON and REG, page 117.
Press EXIT to return to the interrupted audio
source.
