About RDS
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
The label is attached to the chassis/case and

that have been classified as Class 1. It means
that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are of
a weaker class. There is no danger of
hazardous radiation outside the unit.
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
RDS (Radio Data System)
When listening to an RDS station, the program
service name of the station is displayed,
advising you quickly which station is being
received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit alternative frequency data for the
same station. When you are making long trips,
this function automatically switches to the
particular frequency with the best reception
for the particular network of stations that you
want to listen to. The data is automatically
stored, allowing you to switch quickly to
another RDS stations, broadcasting the same
program, that has better reception. These
include stations stored in the station preset
memory that you often listen to.
Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network>
also transmit information about other RDS
stations that have traffic information. When
you are tuned to a station that is not
transmitting traffic information, but another
RDS station starts transmitting a traffic
bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to
the other station for the duration of the
bulletin.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission (announcing
disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are
interrupted to allow the warning to be
received.
