RDS Messages ALERT: Alert warns of local and national emergencies. When, an alert announcement comes on the current radio station or a related network station, ALERT displays. You will hear the announcement, even if the volume is low or a CD is playing. If a CD is playing, play stops during the announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned off. If the radio tunes to a related network station for the announcement, it returns to the original station when the announcement is finished. ALERT is not affected by tests of the emergency broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all RDS stations. MSG (Message): If the current RDS station has a message, MSG displays. The message can display the artist, song title, call in phone numbers, etc. If the entire message does not display, parts of the message displays every three seconds until the message is complete. Once the completed message has displayed, MSG disappears from the display until another new message is received. To display the last message, perform the following steps: 1. Press the w knob to enter the main menu. 2. Turn this knob until RECALL RDS MESSAGE displays. 3. Press the same knob and the message displays. Once the message displays, MSG disappears from the display until another new message is received. TP (Traffic Program): TP displays when the radio detects a signal from an RDS station that has traffic announcement broadcast capability. TA (Traffic Announcement): If TA displays, the tuned radio station broadcasts traffic announcements, and when a traffic announcement comes on the tuned station, you will hear it. If the station does not broadcast traffic announcements, when TA is turned on it seeks to a station that does. When a station that broadcasts traffic announcements is found, the radio stops seeking and TA displays. If no station is found that broadcasts traffic announcements, No Traffic displays. 3-105
