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 feature allows the
radio to switch automatically to a stronger 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 automatically to other stations
when AF is off.
Playing a Compact Disc
Insert a disc partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in. The disc should begin playing. The
display will show the CD symbol. If you want to insert
a compact disc with the ignition off, first press DISP
or EJT.
If you’re driving on a very rough road or if it’s very hot,
the disc may not play and Err (error) may appear on
the display. When the road becomes smooth or the
temperature returns to normal, the disc should play.
