is on, the display will show “AF”.
When the radio signal strength is poor,
enabling the AF function will allow the unit to
automatically search another station with the
same PI (Program Identification) as the current
station but with stronger signal strength, so that
you do not have to retune the stations when
driving between different transmitter coverage
areas. When AF symbol is on, it means RDS
information is received; when AF symbol is
flashing, it means RDS information is not yet
received. If RDS service is not available in your
area, turn off the AF mode.

(Travel Program Identification)
Enable or disable TA mode by pressing and

the previous station after searching.
When receiving the station with TP
information but without TA information,
TP icon is on and TA icon keeps blinking;
when receiving the station with TP and TA

information is received, it will change to the
radio mode automatically. After playing over, it
