Using RDS Mode: Your radio's RDS
mode allows you to:
• Seek only stations with your preferred
programming type
• Seek stations with traffic
announcements (MP3 radio only)
• Receive announcements of local
and/or national emergencies
• Receive and display messages from
radio stations
RDS features are available on FM
stations 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 does not, the radio seeks one
that does (MP3 radio only).
INFO: If the tuned station has a mes-
sage, the radio displays INFO. Press the
INFO button to see the message.
TYPE: Press this button to turn the
Program Type selection on or off. Press
the TYPE button knob to select the
Program Type you want; then press the
or
button and the radio seeks 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
is playing, the announcement overrides
it. An ALERT! announcement cannot be
turned off, but it is also not affected by
tests of the Emergency Broadcast
System.
MP3 Radio (if equipped): A CD-R or
CD-RW containing MP3 audio tracks will
play automatically when inserted into the
CD/MP3 player.

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.
