FM DAB STEREO RBDS sz100. 7MHz Preset 04 Empty Understanding radio modes Your radio has three radio modes: Analog (FM), HD Radio digital, and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System). The three radio modes are automatically changed when the receiving frequency is changed. Note: Your radio does not receive the AM radio signal. Analog (FM) mode Analog (FM) mode is the standard mode that has been in use for many years. The FM radio signal is an analog signal. When receiving an FM signal, the “FM” icon appears on the display. HD Radio™ mode HD Radio™ mode is the new digital mode for FM. Many HD Radio stations have several sub-channels called “multicast channels.” When receiving an HD Radio signal, the “HD” icon and the channel number appear on the display. RBDS mode RBDS (Radio Broadcasting Data System) mode, or RDS outside of the U.S., provides additional functionality to FM radio reception by transmitting encoded analog information with the FM radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RBDS receiver and can provide a range of informational features including the station’s name. The RBDS text is usually centered. When the text fills the display, it begins scrolling. When receiving an RBDS signal, “RBDS” appears on the display. 8 www.insigniaproducts.com Tabletop FM/HD Radio Receiver Setting up your Tabletop FM/HD Radio Powering your radio Your Tabletop FM/HD Radio can be powered by either the included AC adapter, or with four AA sized alkaline batteries (not included).
