Display modes - FM
Your radio has six display modes for FM radio. These use data provided by broadcasters which is
commonly known as RDS.
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a system in which inaudible digital information is transmitted in
addition to the normal FM radio programme.
RDS offers several useful features. The following are available on your radio:
1. Press the Info button to cycle through the various modes.
a. Frequency
Displays the frequency of the station being listened to.
b. Station name
Displays the name of the station being listened to.
c. Programme Type
Displays the type of station being listened to e.g. Pop, Classic,
News, etc.
d. Radio text
Displays radio text message such as, new item etc.
e. Signal strength
Displays a graph showing the signal strength for the station being
received.
f . Time
Displays the current time.
Note:
If there is no RDS data available (or if the signal is too weak), all display option will revert back to
the frequency display after 10 seconds. If RDS information of station name is available, on the other
hand, all display option will return to the station name display.
