mode.
When an RDS radio station transmits a
text message, "MSG" will be displayed. At
this time, push "MSG" button to view the
text message. The message display will
be canceled if any button that affects the
display is pushed. To view the message
again, push the "MSG" button again. After
the entire message has been displayed,
the message will disappear.

store three 64 character messages. To

beep.
If 3 messages are already stored in
memory, the oldest message will be over-
written by the new message.

"MSG" button momentarily. This will dis-
play the most recent message. A second
push of the "MSG" button while the most
stored message(s) are displayed begins
