To temporarily switch to a broadcast
programme of your choice
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) is another convenient

ing to a non-RDS station (all AM (MW/LW) stations or
some FM stations).
• If an FM station does not broadcast EON information,
EON cannot be activated.

the EON mode will be released. When the band is set to
AM (MW/LW), the EON is not activated. When the band is
