6. Preparing the RDS Radio
Alarm for operation
RDS means “Radio Data System”. It is a system
for transmitting additional information with
radio programmes. Additional information is
for example the name of the station, which is
shown in the display of the RDS receiver. Addi-
tionally, the RDS Radio Alarm uses RDS for the
reception of time signals for the automatic ad-
justment of time and date settings.
Carefully take the RDS Radio Alarm out of
the packaging.
