waq$ to listen to,
seek to stations with traffic announcements,
receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies,
receive and display messages from radio stations and
search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast
RDS information.
0 RDS SELECT Press this button to use the
alternate
RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and
C PTY > ) located on the six numbered pushbuttons.
RDS SELECT will appear on the display. The alternate
RDS functions are only available when you are using
the
FM band of your radio.
RDS (1): With RIDS off, press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button to turn RDS on. The RDS
display will turn
on. You must have RDS on to use the
new RDS functions. The RDS display will also turn on
if one
of the other RDS function buttons has been
pressed on. If you are tuned to a station broadcasting
RDS information, the station's call letters and Program
Type (PTY) will replace the station's frequency on the
display. After
five seconds, the program type will be
replaced on the display by
the station's program type
name. The program type and program type name may
be the same or different. Press BAND to recall the
frequency and program type displays.
If the radio is

information, the station's frequency will remain on the
display. While
RDS is on, the radio will search for a
stronger station in the network when a station gets too
weak for listening. Press the
RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button again to turn RDS off. All
RDS
functions will be turned off.
REGION: You can also use the RDS button to access
the region function. When an
RDS station becomes

the same network.
A network can span a great distance.
One network can have stations spread across a country
or continent. Each network breaks down into regions.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine With regions, local news items like weather and traffic are available to you. When the region function is on, the
radio only searches for stations in the same network and
region. You can only use

You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related to
the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a
station which does. When the radio finds a station which
broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If no
station is found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the
display. When SEEK
or SCAN is pressed with the
traffic announcement function on, the radio will only
stop at stations which broadcast traffic announcements.

TA volume. To increase TA
volume,
turn the PWRNOL knob to the right. Turn it
to the left to decrease volume. TA VOLUME
will appear
on the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will
return to the original station when the announcement
is finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player
was being used,
the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
