PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs).
These buttons have factory PTY presets. See “Radio
Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections”
in the Index. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and
six FM2). Just:
1. Turn PTY on.
2. Press BAND to select FM1 or FM2.
3. Tune in an RDS station with the PTY you desire.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons for
more than two seconds until you hear a beep.
Whenever you press that numbered button for less
than two seconds, the PTY you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your RDS presets because the
radio remembers them.
HR or MN: Press the RDS SELECT button, followed
by one of these buttons to display the time for the
current station. STATION TIME IS will be displayed.
If a time has not been sent to the radio, NO STATION
TIME will be displayed. If you have recently tuned to
the station, you may need to wait a minute before the
time is available to the radio.
To set the clock to the current displayed station time,
press and hold HR or MN until TIME UPDATED is
displayed. There is a two second delay before the time is
updated. RDS mode does not have to be on to use this
function, but you must be tuned to an FM RDS station.
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off
alert announcements. Alert announcements will come on
even if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the
display when an alert announcement plays. The radio
uses TA volume during these announcements. To
increase volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise.
Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA
VOLUME will appear on the display while the volume
is being adjusted. When an alert announcement comes
on the tuned radio station or a related network station,
you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a
cassette tape or MiniDisc is playing. If the radio tunes to
a related network station for an alert announcement, it
will return to the original station when the
announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or
MiniDisc player is playing, play will stop for the
announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.
