RDS Messages ALERT!: Alert warns of local or continental U.S.-based emergencies. When an alert announcement comes on the current radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted, a cassette tape or compact disc is playing, or if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT will appear on the display when an alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA volume during these announcements. To increase or to decrease volume, turn the PWRNOL knob. TA VOLUME will appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted. If the radio tunes to a related network station for an alert announcement, it will return to the original station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop during the announcement. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. TA (Traffic): When the TA button is pressed and released, the radio will search for a station with TA if the current station is not TA capable. During the search TA will flash on the display. Once a TA station is found, TA will appear on the display and the traffic announcement will be played. If no station broadcasting traffic announcements is found, NO TRAFFIC STATION FOUND will appear on the display. If the TA button is pressed and held for two seconds, the radio will search for the next available TA station. Press the TA button again to turn TA off. 3-92 Traffic Interrupt Feature: Your radio can interrupt the play of a cassette, CD, or XMTM station. Press the TA button. The radio will seek to a station that broadcasts traffic announcements. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. TA will appear on the display. When a traffic announcement comes onthe station that was found, you will hear it. When the traffic announcement is over, the radio will resume play of the cassette, CD, or XMTM station. If no station is found, NO TRAFFIC STATION FOUND will appear on the display. Press the TA button again to turn TA off. MSG (Message): If the current station has a message, MSG will appear on the display. Press the MSG 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 the MSG button repeatedly. A new group of words will appear on the display with each press. Once the complete message has been displayed, MSG will disappear from the display until another new MSG is received.
