When in Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) mode, the up or down arrow lever can be used to perform a PTY preset seek. PSEEK will appear on the display while the PTY preset seek is performed.

Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.

To help avoid hearing loss or damage: Understanding Radio Reception AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it. D Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting. D Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly. 3-38
