LIST/AUDIO knob to display the program type list.

VOL: Turn this knob clockwise to increase volume
when RDS interrupts regular play. Turn it

TRAF: Press this button to receive traffic
announcements. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a
station that does. The TRAF icon will flash on the
display. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts
traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is found,
NO TRAF will appear on the display.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted
or a compact disc is playing. The TRAF icon and
TRAFFIC will appear on the display while the traffic
announcement plays. If the compact disc player was
being used, the tape will stay in the player and resume
play at the point where it stopped.
INFO: If the current station has a message, the INFO
icon will appear on the display. Press this button to see
the message. If the whole message does not appear on
the display, each time you press this button, the next part
of the message will appear on the display until the
message is completed. Press this button again to see the
message again. Once the complete message has been
displayed, the INFO icon will disappear from the
display until another new message is received.

the last selected PTY TYPE and the last selected PTY
will appear on the display, if it is not already showing.
If a station with the selected PTY is not found, the radio
will return to the original station and display NONE.
If both SEEK TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for stations with traffic announcements and the
selected PTY.
