Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS features are available for use
only on FM stations that broadcast
RDS information. With RDS, the
radio can:
Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming.
Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies.
Display messages from radio
stations.
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. It is
possible that a radio station could
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
When information is broadcast from
the current FM station, the station
name or call letters display on the
audio screen. RDS can provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcasted.
