To find a PTY preset station, perform the following steps:

1. Press the P

TYPE button to turn on PTY select. PTY

turn on. The last selected PTY will appear on the
display for five seconds.

2. Turn the P

counterclockwise to select the PTY you want to
listen to. The list is alphabetical. If you select ANY
TYPE your radio will seek to the first PTY available.

3. Press the right SEEK arrow to find radio stations for

that PTY. The radio will seek to the first RDS
broadcaster of the selected program type. If the radio
cannot find the desired program type, NOT FOUND

the last station you were listening to. If both P

with traffic announcements and the selected PTY.

TYPE button until you hear a beep on the PTY you

want to interrupt on. An asterisk will appear next to the
PTY name (for example CLASSICAL*). When you are

RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY
format is broadcast.

turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the
display. The radio will not switch to other stations. When
you turn the ignition off and then on again, the alternate
frequency feature will automatically be turned on.

the last selected PTY; TYPE and the last selected PTY

original station and display NONE.
