When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a compact disc or cassette tape is playing. If the compact disc player or cassette tape player was being used, the compact disc or cassette will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. INFO: If the current station has a message, INFO will appear on the display. These text messages are from the RDS broadcaster to the listening public and may be general information such as artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc. Press this 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 scroll through the message at your own speed press the INFO button again for less than one second. A new group of words will appear on the display. Once the complete message has been displayed, INFO will disappear from the display until another new message is received. The old message can be displayed by pressing the INFO button until a new message is received or a different station is tuned to. If the INFO button is pressed when the INFO icon is not displayed and an old message has not been stored by the radio, the radio will display NO INFO. 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 and the radio will search for an RDS station that is broadcasting the PTY that you have selected. The last PTY selected will be used for seek or scan modes. When SELECT LED is on and a P-TYPE is not displayed, the first time seek is pressed the last selected P-TYPE will be displayed. Press the SEEK button again to seek. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the display. To use the PROG-TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold this button until you hear a beep on the PTY you want to interrupt. An asterisk (*) will appear next to the PTY name, example (CLASSICAL*). The radio will also display brackets around the P-TYPE icon when the P-TYPE interrupt is active. To disable the P-TYPE interrupt, select the interrupt format and press and hold the P-TYPE button until you hear a beep. The asterisk (*) will be removed from the display and so will the brackets. 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. 3-23
