PROG TYPE: This button is used to turn on and off
Program Type (PTY) select. The PTY icon will appear
on the display and the SELECT LED indicator next to
the SELECT knob will light. The last selected PTY will
appear on the display for five seconds. Turn the
SELECT knob to select the PTY you want to listen to.
Press the SEEK SCAN arrows to find radio stations of
the PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY selected
will be used for seek or scan modes. If a station with the
selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on
the display. If both PROG TYPE and TRAF are on, the
radio will search for stations with traffic announcements
and the selected PTY.
To use the PROG TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold
this button until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to
interrupt. An asterisk (*) will appear next to the PTY
name, example (CLASSICAL*). When you are listening
to a cassette or compact disc, the last selected RDS FM
station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format
is broadcast.
PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs).
These buttons have factory PTY presets. You can set up
to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and six FM2) by performing the
following steps:
1. Press PROG TYPE, if it is not already on.
2. Press AM FM to select FM1 or FM2.
3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons until
you hear a beep. Whenever you press that numbered
button, the PTY you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
ALERT!: This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off
alert announcements. ALERT! appears on the display
when an alert announcement plays. When an alert
announcement comes on the tuned radio station, you
will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette
tape or compact disc is playing. If the cassette tape or
compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the
announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.
