If both SEEK by TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will search for stations with the selected PTY and traffic announcements.

MODE: Press this button to choose AM, F M l or FM2, X M l or XM2, (if your radio is equipped with XMTM Satellite Radio Service) or DAB1 or DAB2 (if your radio is equipped with DAB). If a cassette tape or compact disc is playing, it will stop and the radio will play. MUTE: Press this button to silence the system. Press it again to turn on the sound. 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. FM Stereo FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go. XMTMSatellite Radio Service XMTMSatellite Radio gives you digital radio reception from coast to coast. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can interfere with Satellite radio signals, causing the sound to come and go. Your radio may display "NO SIGNL" to indicate interference. VOL (Volume) : Press the up or the down arrow to increase or to decrease volume. A v 3-76
