RDS Messages
ALERT: Alert warns of local and national emergencies.
When, an alert announcement comes on the current
radio station or a related network station, ALERT
will appear on the display. You will hear the
announcement, even if the volume is low or a CD is
playing. If a CD is playing, play will stop during
the announcement. Alert announcements cannot be
turned off. If the radio tunes to a related network station
for the announcement, it will return to the original
station when the announcement is finished.
ALERT will not be affected by tests of the emergency
broadcast system. This feature is not supported by
all RDS stations.
MSG (Message): If the current RDS station has a
message, MSG will appear on the display. The message
may display the artist, song title, call in phone numbers,
etc. If the entire message does not appear on the
display, parts of the message will appear every three
seconds until the message is completed. Once the
completed message has been displayed, MSG
will disappear from the display until another new
message is received.
To display the last message, perform the following steps:
1. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to enter the main menu.
2. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob until CLOCK/INFO DISP
appears on the display.
3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob. The message will
appear on the display.
Once the message has been displayed, MSG will
disappear from the display until another new message
is received.
TP (Traffic Program): TP will appear on the display
when the radio detects a signal from an RDS station that
has traffic announcement broadcast capability.
TA (Traffic Announcement): If TA appears on the
display, the tuned radio station broadcasts traffic
announcements and when a traffic announcement
comes on the tuned station you will hear it.
If the station does not broadcast traffic announcements,
when TA is turned on it will seek to a station that does.
When a station that broadcasts traffic announcements is
found, the radio will stop seeking and TA will appear on
the display. If no station is found that broadcasts traffic
announcements, No Traffic will appear on the display.
The radio will play traffic announcements if the volume is
low. The radio will interrupt the play of a CD if the last
tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements.
