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, for 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 compact disc, the last selected RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY format is broadcast. AM FM (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same programming. Press and hold AM FM 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 AM FM 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 AM FM 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. RDS Messages 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 current radio station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a compact disc is playing. If the compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished. 3-25
