Emergency broadcasts
E00721700011
If an emergency broadcast is caught while receiving a FM
broadcast or playing back a compact disc with the ignition
switch in “ACC” or “ON” position, the display will show
“ALARM” and the emergency broadcast will interrupt the cur-
rent program. The volume level is set separately for listening to
normal audio programs and for listening to emergency broad-
casts. The volume level will therefore change automatically to
that set when an emergency broadcast or traffic information
broadcast was last received. When the emergency broadcast is
over, the radio will return to the previously received program
and to the corresponding volume level.
