RDS Messages
ALERT!: Alert warns of local or national emergencies.
When an alert announcement comes on the current
radio station, ALERT! will appear on the display. You will
hear the announcement, even if the volume is low or a
cassette tape or CD is playing. If a cassette tape or
CD is playing, play will stop during the announcement.
Alert announcements cannot be turned off.
ALERT! will not be affected by tests of the emergency
broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all
RDS stations.
INFO (Information): If the current station has a
message, INFO will appear on the display. Press this
button to see the message. The message may display
the artist, song title, call in phone numbers, etc.
If the entire message is not displayed, parts of the
message will appear every three seconds. To scroll
through the message, press the INFO button. A
new group of words will appear on the display after
every press of this button. Once the complete message
has been displayed, INFO will disappear from the
display until another new message is received. The last
message can be displayed by pressing the INFO
button. You can view the last message until a new
message is received or a different station is tuned to.
3-92
TRAF (Traffic): If TRAF appears on the display,
the tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements.
To receive the traffic announcement from the tuned
station, press this button. Brackets will be displayed
around TRAF and when a traffic announcement comes
on the tuned radio station you will hear it.
If the station does not broadcast traffic announcements,
press this button and the radio will seek to a station
that does. When a station that broadcasts traffic
announcements is found, the radio will stop seeking and
brackets will be displayed around TRAF. If no station
is found that broadcasts traffic announcements,
NO TRAFFIC will appear on the display.
If the brackets are on the display and TRAF is not,
press the TRAF button to remove the brackets or
use the TUNE knob or the SEEK arrows to go to a
station that supports traffic announcements. If no station
is found, NO TRAFFIC will appear on the display.
The radio will play the traffic announcements even if
the volume is low. The radio will interrupt the play of a
cassette tape or CD if the last tuned station broadcasts
traffic announcements.
This function does not apply to XM™ Satellite Radio
Service.
