RDS Messages
ALERT: Alert warns of local and national emergencies.
When, an alert announcement comes on the current
radio station or a related network station, ALERT
displays. The announcement should be heard, even if
the volume is low or a CD or DVD is playing. If a CD or
DVD is playing, play stops during the announcement.
Alert announcements cannot be turned off. If the
radio tunes to a related network station for the
announcement, it returns to the original station when the
announcement ends.
ALERT is not affected by tests of the emergency
broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all
RDS stations.
MSG (Message): If the current RDS station has a
message, MSG displays. The message displays
the artist, song title, call in phone numbers, etc. If the
entire message does not display, parts of the message
appear every three seconds until the message is
completed. Once the completed message has displayed,
MSG disappears from the display until a new message
is received.
To display the last message, perform the
following steps:
1. Press the
w knob to enter the main menu.
2. Turn this knob until RECALL RDS MESSAGE
displays.
3. Press this knob again until the message displays.
Once the message has been displayed, MSG
disappears from the display until another new message
is received.
TP (Traffic Program): TP displays when the radio
detects a signal from an RDS station that has traffic
announcement broadcast capability.
TA (Traffic Announcement): If TA displays, it means
the tuned radio station broadcasts traffic
announcements.
If the station does not broadcast traffic announcements,
when TA is turned on it seeks to a station that does.
When a station that broadcasts traffic announcements is
found, the radio stops seeking and TA displays. If no
station is found that broadcasts traffic announcements,
No Traffic displays.
The radio plays traffic announcements even if the
volume is low. The radio interrupts the play of a CD or
DVD if the last tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements.
