RDS Messages
ALERT!: Alert warns of local or continental U.S.-based
emergencies. When an alert announcement comes
on the current radio station or a related network station,
you will hear it, even if the volume is muted, a
cassette tape or compact disc is playing, or if RDS
mode is turned off. ALERT will appear on the display
when an alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA
volume during these announcements. To increase or
to decrease volume, turn the PWRNOL knob. TA
VOLUME will appear on the display while the volume is
being adjusted. If the radio tunes to a related network
station for an alert announcement, it will return to
the original station when the announcement is finished.
If the cassette tape or compact disc player is playing,
play will stop during the announcement. You will not be
able to turn off alert announcements.
TA (Traffic): When
the TA button is pressed and
released, the radio will search for a station with TA if
the current station is not TA capable. During the search
TA will flash on the display. Once a TA station is
found, TA will appear on the display and the traffic
announcement will be played. If no station broadcasting
traffic announcements is found, NO TRAFFIC
STATION FOUND will appear on the display. If the TA
button is pressed and held for two seconds, the
radio will search for the next available TA station.
Press the TA button again to turn TA off.
Traffic Interrupt Feature: Your
radio can interrupt the
play of a cassette, CD, or XMTM station. Press the
TA button. The radio will seek to a station that
broadcasts traffic announcements. When the radio finds
a station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it
will stop. TA will appear on the display. When a traffic
announcement comes on the station that was found, you
will hear it. When the traffic announcement is over,
the radio will resume play of the cassette, CD, or XMTM
station. If no station is found, NO TRAFFIC STATION
FOUND will appear on the display.
Press the TA button again to turn TA off.
MSG (Message): If the current station has a message,
MSG will appear on the display. Press the MSG
button, to see the message. If the whole message does
not appear on the display, parts of the message will
appear every three seconds until the message is
completed. To see the parts of the message faster than
every three seconds, press the MSG button repeatedly.
A new group of words will appear on the display
with each press. Once the complete message has been
displayed, MSG will disappear from the display until
another new MSG is received.
