RDS Messages
ALERT!: Alert 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 current 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.

This function will only work during actual emergency
broadcasts, and will not work during 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. These
text messages are from the RDS broadcaster to the
listening public and may be general information such as
artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc. Press
this 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 scroll through the message at your own
speed, press the INFO button again for less than one
second. A new group of words will appear on the
display. Once the complete message has been displayed,
INFO will disappear from the display until another new
message is received. The old message can be displayed
by pressing the INFO button until a new message is
received or a different station is tuned to. When a
message is not available from an FM station,
NO INFO will be displayed.
