While AF switching is implemented in C201 station, AF can switch to 100 MHz, which is non genuineAF (where, different PI with same AF) in short “DIP”.

If a car cruises that critical area back and forth, an oscillation phenomenon can be occurred, because the different PI code can be received from 100 MHz with “XXX” PI.

TASEEK/ALARM

- TA SEEK mode:

When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for a few seconds, the radio retunes to next station which has not the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information.

When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which is set by RETUNE SHORT (30 sec.) or RETUNE LONG (90 sec.), the radio start to retune to next same PI station. When same PI station does not catch in 1 cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station with TP information.

- TA ALARM mode:

When this mode is selected, any automatic retune mode is not activated. Only double beep sound (ALARM) is output.

When newly tuned station does not have TP information for several seconds, beeps come out.

-PISOUNDmode:

When above different PI sound (DIP) is heard once in a while, the Dip's sound will be heard for a short time.

-PIMUTEmode:

Under above same situation, a mute sound will be heard for a short time.

RETUNE L/S

The initial time of automatic TA search or PI search modes is selected.

When PI information is not caught for retune time, the radio starts to retune to next same PI station.

When same PI station does not catch 1 cyclic search, the radio goes to last station and waits for several minutes until PI code is received.

- RETUNE L mode:

Selected as 90 seconds.

- RETUNE S mode:

Selected as 30 seconds.

MASK DPI /ALL

The AF frequency (which has different PI or NO RDS signal with high field strength) is masked during checking PI when the unit

searches AF. The unit doesn't search this AF (DIP) for few minutes. In the case of the AF of NO RDS signal with high field strength, if the realAF is wrongly masked as DIP by some interference, the unit hesitates to search realAFs. For this reason, the unit has the user option (MASK DPI) which doesn't mask the AF of NO RDS signal with high field strength. In MASK DPI mode, the wrong sound or long mute (according to PI SOUND or PI MUTE) can be heard from theAF station which has NO RDS signal and of which the field strength is higher than that of the currently tuning AF (station). But, these phenomenons are rare and the user will hardly hear the wrong sound in whole Europe.

- MASK DPI mode:

Mask only the AF which has different PI.

- MASK ALL mode:

Mask the AF which has different PI and NO RDS signal with high field strength.

BEEP 2’ND/ALL/OFF
