ES300_Navi_U (L/O 0108) Audio System "RDS SRCH" switch This switch allows you to search all available RDS stations out of the entire FM band and sort them by program type (See following "TYPE" switch for details on program types). By touching this button at the FM mode, RDS is turned on and the radio is switched to FM type mode. During the program type search, "RDS SEARCH" will be shown on the screen. Also at this time, "FM TYPE" will appear on the screen to indicate that the station selector switches are for program type. After searching for all the available RDS stations, the radio will activate the previously used program type. If the previously used program type is not available, or if the radio has not yet performed a program type search, the radio will activate the first available program type that has stations in memory. The radio will preset the stations of the current program type into the preset buttons. These are accessible through the "TYPE" switch. If more than 6 stations are found, the radio will load the 6 strongest stations signal of the program type into the presets. If no RDS stations are found, "No RDS Stations Found" will be displayed and the beep sounds. Then the radio will return to the previous FM mode and frequency. "Alert" This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. Alert announcements will come on even if RDS mode is turned off. "Alert" appears on the screen when an alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA volume during these announcements. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio station or a related network station, you will hear it even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station for an alert announcement, it will return to the original station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished. Z00006 "MSG" (Message) When an RDS radio station transmits a text message, "MSG" will be displayed. At this time, touch the "MSG" switch to view the text message. The message display will be canceled if any button that affects the display is pushed. To view the message again, touch the "MSG" switch again. After the entire message has been displayed, the message will disappear. The RDS audio system has memory to store three 64 character messages. To store a message in memory, touch and hold the "STORE" switch until you hear a beep. If 3 messages are already stored in memory, the oldest message will be overwritten by the new message. 2002 MY ES300 NAVI_U (OM33564U) 89
