type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specic
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.

also provide the time of day, a program type
(PTY) for current programming, and the name of
the program being broadcast.

emergencies. When, an alert announcement
comes on the current radio station or a related

or DVD is playing, play will stop during the
announcement. Alert announcements cannot be
turned off. If the radio tunes to a related network
station for the announcement, it will return to
the original station when the announcement is
nished.
