RDS Clock Time (CT)
The clock setting will be automatically adjusted
according to the CT data.
If you tune in an RDS station broadcasting incorrect

that may eventually affect the timer operation.
No matter which RDS mode is selected, the unit
receives CT data and adjusts the clock.
To turn on or off the CT mode, press and hold
the RDS button for more than 3 seconds, then
press the SKIP button (
