PROG-TYPE: This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) select. The P-TYPE icon will appear on the display and the SELECT LED indicator next to the SELECT knob will light. The last selected PTY will appear on the display for five seconds. Turn the SELECT knob to select the PTY you want to listen to. Press SEEK or SCAN to find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY selected will be used for seek or scan modes. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the display. If both PROG-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will search for stations with traffic announcements and the selected PTY. To use the PROG-TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold this button until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to interrupt. A (*) will appear next to the PTY name, example (CLASSICAL*). When you are listening to a cassette or compact disc, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast. PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs). These buttons have factory PTY presets. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and six FM2). Just: 1. Press PROG-TYPE, if it is not already on. 2. Press AM-FM to select FM1 or FM2. 3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PROG-TYPE. 4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons until you hear a beep. Whenever you press that numbered button, the PTY you set will return. 5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton. ALERT!: This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. ALERT! appears on the display when an alert announcement plays. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio 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 is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished. 3-30
