Using the Radio
Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. The station name or call
letters display while the radio is tuned to an RDS station.
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and works only when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast
incorrect information that causes the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
With RDS, the radio can:
•
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming.
•
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies.
•
Display messages from radio stations.
•
Seek to stations with traffic announcements.
•
Provide the time of day.
•
Provide a program type (PTY) for current
programming.
•
Provide the name of the program being broadcast.
