Finding a PTY Station PROG TYPE (Program Type): This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) select. P-TYPE will appear on the display and the SELECT LED indicator 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 the SEEK up arrow 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 the SELECT LED indicator is on and a PTY is not displayed, the first time SEEK is pressed, the last selected PTY will be displayed. Press the SEEK up arrow again to seek. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NOT FOUND will appear on the display. To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold PROG TYPE 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 PTY when the PTY interrupt is active. To disable the PTY interrupt, select the interrupt format and press and hold the PROG 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 tape or a compact disc, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast. BAND (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same programming. Press and hold BAND for two seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger stations. Press and hold BAND again for two seconds to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the display. The radio will not switch to other stations. Setting Preset PTY Stations The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs). These pushbuttons have factory PTY presets. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and six FM2) by performing the following steps: 1. Press BAND to select FM1 or FM2. 2. Press PROG TYPE, if it is not already on. 3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY. 4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons until you hear a beep. Whenever you press that numbered pushbutton, the PTY you set will return. 5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton. 3-22
