RDS information
RDS (Radio Data System) is an information system which is transmit-
ted additionally by most FM stations.
When the device receives an RDS station, the station name appears
in the display, for example »
FANTASY
« and »
RDS
«.
Notes:
It may take some time before all the RDS information is trans -
mitted.
GRUNDIG has no influence on the correctness of this information.

– If the reception is strong enough, the station name appears
after a short time.
RDS time synchronisation
Some RDS stations transmit an RDS time signal. If reception is good,
this time information updates the time automatically if you have se-
lected this function (display »
CT
«). Refer to the section on setting the
time on page 17/18.
Time synchronisation can take several minutes, and even with good
reception the accuracy depends on the time signal being transmitted.
The automatic setting is always activated if the device is switched on
from standby to radio mode and a suitable RDS station can be re-
ceived (if an RDS time signal is expected, the »
« symbol flashes
in the display. It lights up constantly when RDS time synchronisation
has been performed).
Viewing RDS information
If an RDS station is being received, the frequency briefly appears in
