gramme is being received.

Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts

PTY alarm is a special PTY code for announce-
ments regarding emergencies such as natural
disasters. When the tuner receives the radio
alarm code, "Alarm" appears on the screen and
the volume adjusts to the TA volume. When the
station stops broadcasting the emergency
announcement, the system returns to the previ-
ous source.
An emergency announcement can be can-
celled by pressing TA/NEWS button.
You can also cancel an emergency announce-
ment by pressing the TRK (4/6) button or
or
the P.LIST (8/2) button.
Selecting alternative frequen-
cies (AF)
If you are listening to a broadcast and the recep-
tion becomes weak or there are other problems,
the navigation system will automatically search
for a different station in the same network which
is broadcasting a stronger signal.
AF is on as a default.
1
Touch
Touching the key switches the status between
on and off.
Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or BSM when AF is on.
When you recall a preset station, the tuner
may update the preset station with a new
frequency from the station's AF list. (This is
only available when using presets on the
FM1 or FM2 bands.) No preset number
appears on the display if the RDS data for
the station received differs from that for
the originally stored station.
Sound may be temporarily interrupted by
another programme during an AF fre-
quency search.
AF can be turned on or off independently
for each FM band.
