Data System) information about the station and show (where broadcast). While FM is
playing, the LCD displays its frequency or, if RDS information is available, station
name and any further ‘RADIO TEXT’ information. If no information is available, just
the frequency and a ‘NO RADIO TEXT’ message are shown.
2 Scanning
Once a scan is complete the radio returns to playing the previously selected station or
first station on the station list. You may need to repeat this occasionally for the
following reasons:
- New stations may become available from time to time.
- Stations closed or can no longer be received.
- If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the antenna was not
up), this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.
- If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to break up, you
may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.

In general, the radio automatically synchronises the clock from the DAB station after
scanning.
