RDS

A long press on LIST builds or

updates the list of stations; audio

reception is cut momentarily.

The exterior environment (hills, buildings,

tunnel, car park, below ground...) may

prevent reception, even in RDS station

tracking mode. This phenomenon is

normal in the propagation of radio waves

and is in no way indicative of a fault with

the audio system.

RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue

listening to the same station by automatic

retuning to alternative frequencies.

However, in certain conditions, coverage

of an RDS station may not be assured

throughout the country as radio stations

do not cover 100 % of the territory. This

explains the loss of reception of the

station during a journey.

Press SOURCE or SRC several

times in succession and select radio.

When the radio is displayed on the

screen, press OK to display the

contextual menu.
