Finding a PTY Station
PROG TYPE (Program Type): This button is used to
turn on and off Program Type (PTY) select. P
will appear on the display and the SELECT LED
indicator will light. The last selected PTY will appear on
the display for five seconds. Turn the SELECT knob to
select the PTY you want to listen to. Press the SEEK up
arrow and the radio will search for an RDS station that
is broadcasting the PTY that you have selected. The last
PTY selected will be used for seek or scan modes. When
the SELECT LED indicator is on and a PTY is not
displayed, the first time SEEK is pressed, the last
selected PTY will be displayed. Press the SEEK up
arrow again to seek. If a station with the selected PTY is
not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the display.
To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold PROG
TYPE until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to
interrupt. An asterisk will appear next to the PTY name,
example (CLASSICAL*). The radio will also display
brackets around the PTY when the PTY interrupt is
active. To disable the PTY interrupt, select the interrupt
format and press and hold the PROG TYPE button until
you hear a beep. The asterisk will be removed from the
display and so will the brackets. When you are listening
to a cassette tape or a compact disc, the last selected
RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY
format is broadcast.

3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons
until you hear a beep. Whenever you press that
numbered pushbutton, the PTY you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
