Radio Data System (RDS)
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, your radio can do the following:
·Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming,
·receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
·display messages from radio stations, and
·seek to stations with traffic announcements.This system relies upon receiving speci®c information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or the call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the program being
broadcast.

ALERT!:Alert warns of local or continental U.S.-based
emergencies. When an alert announcement comes
on the current radio station or a related network station,
you will hear it, even if the volume is muted, a

to decrease volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob. TA
VOLUME will appear on the display while the volume is
being adjusted. If the radio tunes to a related network
station for an alert announcement, it will return to
the original station when the announcement is ®nished.

play will stop during the announcement. You will not be
able to turn off alert announcements.

station broadcasts traffic announcements and when
a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio station
you will hear it.If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic
announcements, press this button and the radio

station that broadcasts tra®ic announcements, it will
stop and TA will be displayed. When a traffic
announcement comes on the tuned radio station you

FOUND will appear on the display.
