More about the Enhanced Other Networks function
• The Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations
may not be compatible with this unit.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, the station does not change even if another
network station starts broadcasting a program of the same
Enhanced Other Networks data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, you can only use the RDS CONTROL,
TA/News/Info and DISPLAY buttons as the tuner operation
buttons.
• If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned
by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently
tuned station, press TA/News/Info to cancel the Enhanced Other
Networks function. If you do not press the button, the currently
tuned station is received finally (“NOT FOUND” appears this
time), and the indication of the Enhanced Other Networks data
type flashing on the display disappears.
Alarm function
If an “Alarm!” (Emergency) signal is received from a
station while listening to the radio, the unit automatically
switches to the station broadcasting the “Alarm!” signal,
except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all
AM—MW/LW and some FM stations).
Test function
The TEST signal is used for testing the “Alarm!” signal.
Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the
“Alarm!” signal does.
If a TEST signal is received from a station while listening
to the radio, the unit automatically switches to the station
broadcasting the TEST signal, except when you are
listening to non-RDS stations (all AM—MW/LW and
some FM stations).
