RDS SETUP:

TA: Seek/Alarm. In TA SEEK mode, When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for 5 sec, the radio retunes to next station which has not the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information. In TA ALARM mode, When this mode is selected, any automatic retune mode is not activated. Only double beep sound (ALARM) is shown. So, in this mode, the unit keeps the current station.

PI: Mute/Sound. When different PI sound (DIP) is heard once in a while, the DIP’s sound will be heard for less than 1 second. Under the same situation, a mute sound will be heard for less than 1 sec.

RETUNE: Long/Short. RETUNE refers to the time period the unit allows for radio scan when reception is interrupted. “S” represents a time period of 30 seconds and “L” represents a time period of 90 seconds.

MASK: DPI/ALL. During MASK DPI mode, the unit will mask only the AF which has different PI, this is the default mode; during MASK ALL mode, the unit will mask the AF which has different PI and no RDS signal with high field strength.

EON TA: DX/Local. When the field strength level of EON linked station is less than the threshold level, the radio does not switch the station. EON TA switching information is implemented by the information of the current station. When EONTA DX mode is selected, the unit will switch to the radio station transmitting the TA signal.

REG: REG ON (the receiver accepts regional variants of the tuned station with REG icon turned on), and

REG OFF (the receiver ignores regional variants).

TA VOL: Adjust level of TA volume, support 50 levels. Default level is 15.
