Getting to Know Your Rainier
12
Using RDS Mode: Your radio's RDS
mode allows you to:
• Seek only stations with your preferred
programming type
• Seek stations with traffic
announcements
• Receive announcements of local
and/or national emergencies
• Receive and display messages from
radio stations
RDS features are available on FM sta-
tions that broadcast RDS information.
When tuned to an RDS station, the radio
displays the station name instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations broadcast
their station name, time of day and a
Program Type (PTY).
DISP: Press this knob to toggle
between the station frequency, station
name, PTY and the name of the pro-
gram if available.
TRAF: Press this button to activate the
traffic announcement feature. The radio
will display traffic announcement brack-
ets <> or TRAF (as applies to your
radio) if the station you're currently on
broadcasts traffic announcements. If the
station doesn't, the radio seeks one that
does.
INFO: If the tuned station has a mes-
sage, the radio displays INFO. Press the
INFO button to see the message.
P-TYPE LIST: Press this button to turn
the Program Type selection on or off.
Turn the P-TYPE knob to select the
Program Type you want, then press the
SEEK or SEEK TYPE button (as it
applies to your radio) and the radio
seeks to the first RDS broadcast of the
selected Program Type.
BAND (ALTERNATE FREQUENCY):
Allows the radio to switch to a station
with a stronger signal and of the same
PTY. Press and hold the button for two
seconds to turn it on; repeat to turn it off.
ALERT!: Warns of local or national
emergencies and appears on the display
during such an announcement. If a CD
or cassette tape is playing, the
announcement overrides it. An ALERT!
announcement cannot be turned off, but
is also not affected by tests of the
Emergency Broadcast System.
XM Satellite Radio (if equipped): Two
subscription service bands are available:
XM1 and XM2. To access them on
equipped radios, press the BAND button
until XM1 or XM2 appears on the display.

U.S., XM offers 101 channels of music,
