P - TYPE LIST: Turn this knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to select the Program Type (PTY) you
want to listen to. TYPE and a PTY will appear on the
display. Press the SEEK TYPE button and the radio will
seek to the first RDS broadcaster of the selected
P
- TYPE. If the radio cannot find the desired P - TYPE,
NONE will appear on the display and the radio will
return to the last station you were listening to.
SEEK TYPE: Press this button to go to a station with
the last selected PTY. TYPE and the last selected PTY
will appear on the display, if it is not already showing.
Press SEEK TYPE a second time to seek. If a station
with the selected PTY is not found, the radio will return
to the original station and display NONE.
If both SEEK TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for stations with traffic announcements and the
selected PTY.
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 tuned radio station, you will hear it, even if
the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is
playing. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is
playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume
when the announcement is finished.
This function will only work during actual emergency
broadcasts, and will not work during tests of the
emergency broadcast system. This feature is not
supported by all RDS stations.
ALTERNATE FREQUENCY: This RDS feature
allows the radio to switch frequencies to the best quality
station with the same programming. AF is off by default
from the factory. Press and hold AM
- FM for two
seconds to turn alternate frequency on or off. AF ON or
AF OFF will appear on the display and the radio will
beep once. The radio will not switch to other stations
when AF is off.
Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in this
player. The longer side with the tape visible should face
to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the
tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape
symbol is shown on the display whenever a tape is
inserted. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the
tape may not be in squarely. Press EJT to remove the
tape and start over.
