RDS relies on receiving specific
information from radio stations and
only works when the information is
available. In rare cases, a radio
station could broadcast incorrect
information that causes the radio
features to work improperly. Contact
the radio station if this happens.
When the radio is tuned to an
RDS station, the station name
or call letters display instead of the
frequency. RDS stations can also
provide the time of day, a program
type (PTY) for current programming,
and the name of the program being
broadcast.
RDS Messages
ALERT: Displays when local
or national emergency
announcements are received.
If the radio tunes to a related network
station for the announcement,
it returns to the original station
when the announcement ends.
The announcement should be heard
even if the volume is low or a CD is
playing. If a CD is playing, it will stop
playing during the announcement.
•
The RDS alert feature is not
supported by all RDS radio
stations.
•
The RDS alert feature cannot be
turned off.
•
Alert is not affected by tests of the
emergency broadcast system.
MSG (Message): Displays if the
current RDS station has a message.
The message displays the artist,
song title, call in phone numbers,
etc. If the entire message does
not display, parts of the message
appear every three seconds until

MSG disappears from the display
once the completed message
has displayed.
