searches from the current frequency and checks the signal strength level until
the 6 strongest stations are found. And then the 6 strongest stations are preset
to the corresponding preset memory numbered bank. The auto-storage operation
is implemented in the each selected band. When the auto-storage operation is
finished, the radio executes Preset scan.
2) When pressing the APS button or A.P button briefly, the radio searches for each
preset station in the current band and holds at that preset station for 5 seconds,
and then searches again.

loop, if the desired station of the PTY programs not found, PTY NONE is displayed,
then returns to previous normal radio and PTY icon disappears.

AF [ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES] mode
When pressed briefly, AF switching mode is selected and the state of AF switching
mode is displayed by AF segment in display.
Segment off: AF switching mode off.
Segment on: AF switching mode on, and has RDS information.
Segment flashing: AF switching mode on, but RDS information is not received yet.
When AF switching mode is selected, the radio checks the signal strength of AF all
the time. The interval of checking time of each AFs depends on the signal strength
of the current station, from a few minutes for strong station to a few seconds for
a weak station. Every time that a new AF is stronger than the current station, it
switches over to that frequency for a very short time, and the NEW FREQUENCY is
displayed for 1-2 seconds. Because the mute time of AF switching or checking time
is very short, it is almost inaudible in case of normal program. During FM mode,
when AF is on, SEEK, (SCAN), AUTO-MEMORY function can only receive and save
RDS program.
TA [TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENT] mode
When TA mode is on (TA is displayed on LCD), it will begin to seek TA station and
TA SEEK will be displayed on LCD.
When traffic announcement is transmitted:
1). If the unit is in SD, USB mode, it will switch to radio mode temporarily.
2). If volume level is below 20, volume level is raised to 20, and returns to its
previous mode and volume level when the traffic announcement is over. If volume
is adjusted during traffic announcement, only the traffic announcement volume is
valid.
* When TA mode is on, SEEK, AUTO MEMORY function can be received or saved
only when traffic program identification code has been received.
