• Receive announcements concerning
local and national emergencies.
• Receive and display messages from
radio stations.
RDS features work only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information and
when they broadcast the signal. RDS
stations display their station name
instead of their frequency. Most RDS
stations also provide the time of day and
a Program Type (PTY).
ALERT!: Warns of local or national
emergencies. You will hear the
announcement even if the volume is
muted or a CD is playing. It cannot be
turned off. This feature is not affected by
tests of the Emergency Broadcast
System.
TRAF (Traffic): Press this button to acti-
vate the traffic announcement feature.
TRAF appears on the display if the
tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements. If it doesn’t, the radio
will seek a station that does. If no station
is found, NO TRAFFIC appears on the
display. When a traffic announcement
comes on the tuned station, you will
hear it, even if the volume is muted or a
CD is playing.
INFO (Information): If the current station
has a message, INFO appears on the
audio display. Press this button to see
the message. Once the complete mes-
sage has been displayed, INFO disap-
pears from the display.
PROG TYPE (PTY): Press PROG TYPE
to activate program type select mode.
The PTY symbol appears on the display.
Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY.
When the desired PTY appears, press
either SEEK arrow to select the PTY
and take you to the PTY’s first station.
To go to another station within the PTY
(and the PTY is displayed), press either
SEEK arrow once. If PTY is not dis-
played, press either SEEK arrow twice
to display the PTY and then to go to
another station. Press PROG TYPE to
exit program type select mode. If both
PTY and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for the selected PTY and traffic
announcements.
