IMPORTANT NOTES

Hearing is very important to you and to us so please take care when operating
this equipment . It is strongly recommended that you follow the listed guidelines
in order to prevent possible damage or loss of hearing.

ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL

• Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give

the impression that the volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal
to you may in fact be harmful.

• To guard against this BEFORE YOUR HEARING ADAPTS set the volume
at a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and
without distortion.

• Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.

• Remember listening for prolonged period of time at high volume levels will
harm your hearing.

Once you have established a comfortable listening level. DO NOT INCREASE
THE SOUND LEVEL FURTHER.

The following list of typical sound levels may assist you recognizing just how
loud you have set the volume level.

DECIBEL
Level (dB) Example

30dB Quiet library, soft whispers
40dB Living room, fridge freezer, bedroom away traffic
50dB Normal conservation, quiet office, light traffic
60dB Electric sewing machine
70dB Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

THE FOLLOWING NOISE CAN BE HARMFUL UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

80dB Average city traffic, alarm clock buzzer at 2 feet, loud mixer
90dB Motorcycle, heavy goods vehicle, petrol lawn mower.
100dB Pneumatic drill, chain saw, garbage truck, discotheque night­club
120dB Rock band concert, thunderclap fast train passing by.

PERMANENT LOSS OF HEARING

140dB THRESHOLD OF PAIN Gunshot 2 feet away, jetplane taking off.

The following functions are available with this unit using the RDS data system.

Station Name Display

BBC RI

Automatic Re-tuning-AF function

Re-tunes to a stronger signal station in the same broadcasting network automatically
using the PI and AF data.

and a driver passes through from the point A to B.
The reception frequency of the station in the network changes from 98.5 MHz through

102.5 MHz as the driver passes through each transmitter.

By using the AF function, the driver can keep listening to the programme in the same
broadcasting network without manually retuning while driving from the point A to B.

AF function

AUTOMATIC RE-TUNING

11

Note: Auto Re-tuning will only operate on FM band.

1. Tune to an RDS station using the automatic or manual tuning methods.

2. AF function is switched ON/OFF by pressing the AF/REG button (11).

When the AF symbol is shown on the display, AF function is switched on. If no AF data is received,
the AF symbol will flash.

How the AF function works?

In AF mode, the radio measures at regular intervals the signal strength at frequencies
that are mentioned in the list of Alternative Frequencies (AF’s) of the current station.
If an alternative frequency is found, it switches immediately to the new frequency if the
quality of the current station becomes suddenly very poor, or if its RDS data cannot be
received. The quality of a station is a function of signal level as well as multipath condition.
Note: In areas of severe multipath reception this may cause noise or the AF function to constantly
change. Should this occur then switch off the AF function. Try using the AF function later.

Regional

Press and hold the AF/REG button (11) for longer than 2 seconds (until the radio beeps.)
The current state of the REGIONAL Mode is indicated by a message “REG ON” or “REG
OFF”. Which is displayed for 4 seconds after the AF/REG button (11) is pressed.
To check whether an Alternative Frequency is a real Alternative for the current station,
the radio compares PI codes. (Programme Identity)
Regional Mode is ON: The PI codes must be exactly identical.
Regional Mode is OFF: The Region identification code in the PI code is ignored.
When regional mode is OFF, the radio may switch from a National Programme to a local
variant of that Programme, or from a local station in one area to a local station of an
other area. When Regional Mode is ON, the radio will only switch to an alternative that
broadcasts exactly the same programme. For best performance it is recommended
that the Regional function remains in the OFF, Function is REG OFF.

CT FUNCTION (CLOCK TIME)

This software incorporates a real time clock which is updated from the RDS signal.
When a station is tuned in the unit will decode the incoming clock data and after
approximately 2 minutes will display the correct time when the DSP button is pressed.
Press DSP button once-CT displayed; DSP button twice-Programme type; DSP button
three times-Frequency display.
After 5 seconds the display will revert to station name display.
Note: Some stations do not transmit a PTY or CT information and therefore the clock
or programme type display may not be available.

3. If the station selected is not acceptable, alternative TA transmitting stations can be
selected by leaving TA switched on and using Auto/Manual or PTY tuning methods.

“Please note that TP (RDS symbol for TA) will show in the display when you are tuned
to a station which is capable of broadcasting Traffic information.”

Note: If the Regional function is on, a regional station with traffic announcement is

example, CD will start again if listening to CD when the TA broadcast commerced. If
the user has not changed the volume setting. It is restored to the level before the traffic
announcement. If the volume level was changed, during the traffic announcement, the
new level will be retained.
