Using RDS Mode

Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data

System (RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful

new features. With RDS, the radio can:

seek only to stations with the types of programs you

want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and

national emergencies and

receive and display messages from radio stations.

RDS features are only available for use on FM stations

which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of

your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information

from these stations. These features will only work when

the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio

station may broadcast incorrect information that will

cause the radio features to work improperly. If this

happens, please contact the radio station.

When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name

will appear on the display, instead of the frequency.

Most RDS stations provide their station name, the

time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their

current programming.

TRAF: Press this button to receive traffic

announcements. The traffic announcement brackets will

appear on the display. TRAF will appear on the display

if the tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements.

If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic

announcements, the radio will seek to a station that

does. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts

traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is

found, NONE FOUND will appear on the display.

When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned

radio station or a related network 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 was being used, the tape or compact disc

will stay in the player and resume play at the point

where it stopped.

INFO: If the current station has a message, INFO

will appear on the display. 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 see the parts

of the message faster than every three seconds, press this

button again. 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.
