Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode provides you to receive text messages from radio stations that utilize RDS transmitters. When RDS is on, the radio can -only select stations of a particular program type, -display messages from radio stations, -search for a stronger signal station, -receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies (even if RDS function is turned off). RDS features are available for the use only on FM stations which broadcast RDS information. 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, "SEARCHING..." 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. 96 2002 MY RX300 EMV_U (OM48424U) before Jan 10, 2002 production, F/N MCU10-0130376 or MCU15-0258831
