Rds Operations; Pty Function - Phonocar VM 041 Notice De Montage Et D'emploi

RDS operations

The unit provides basic functions of RDS, including PI (Program Identification), radio station name , RT (Ra-
dio Text), CT (Clock Time), AF (Alternative Frequency), TA (Traffic Announcement) and PTY (Program Type)
Selection.
AF function
Alternative Frequencies Lists are used for the same program service and used in conjunction with the PI
code (Program Identification code) to assist automatic tuning.
Using this information, a radio can automatically search out another station that is playing the same material.
This is useful when the station you are listening to is fading out.
To activate AF function, touch the [AF] button on the user interface. To cancel this function, do the operation
above again.
Note:
During auto switching radio frequency, some interference could be heard. Turning off AF function can settle
this problem.
TA function
The TA (Traffic Announcement flag) function lets heunit t receive traffic announcements automatically no
matter what media source is playing back. The TA function can be activated by a TP (Traffic Program) station
broadcasting traffic information. When TA is activated and a traffic announcement is received, the current
playing source will be overridden by the traffic announcement if the current radio band is FM and the 'TA' in-
dicator lights up, indicating that the unit is waiting for traffic announcements. The unit returns to the original
source after the traffic announcement has been received. To activate TA function, touch the [TA] button on
the user interface. To cancel this function, do the operation above again.

PTY function

PTY is the abbreviation for Program Type which is a code defining the
type of program being broadcast (e.g. News or Rock).
Six PTY options will display on the screen. To view more PTY options,
touch the scroll bar and arrows on the screen.
When one PTY option is touched (e.g. News), auto search for next
available PTY by increasing tuning frequency until the PTY of the next
station matches the current. If no matched PTY has been found, the unit
will return to the original radio frequency.
Program Service (PS)
Used for receiver displays of an 8 character alpha numeric Program Service name which may use Upper or
Lower case characters, e.g. {BBC_4_FM}, {Classic_}.
CT (Clock Time)
Some stations broadcast the time and date within the encoded RDS signal. The clock time is automatically
adjusted when 'CT' is set to 'On'.
RT (Radio Text)
When this function is activated, the unit will display short message data transmitted from the provider, such
as station information, the name of the current broadcasting song and the artist name.
