3. Tune in an RDS station with the PTY you desire.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons
for more than two seconds until you hear a beep.
Whenever you press that numbered button for less
than two seconds, the PTY you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your RDS presets because the
radio remembers them.
HR or MN: Press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by one of these buttons to display the time
for the current station. STATION TIME IS will be
displayed. If a time has not been sent to the radio,
NO STATION TIME will be displayed. If you have
recently tuned to the station, you may need to wait a
minute before the time is available to the radio. To set
the clock to the current displayed station time, press and
hold HR or MN until TIME UPDATED is displayed.
There is a two second delay before the time is updated.
RDS mode does not have to be on to use this function,
but you must be tuned to an FM RDS station.
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert
announcements. Alert announcements will come on even
if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the
display when an alert announcement plays. The radio
uses TA volume during these announcements. To increase
volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will
appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it, even
if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc
is playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station
for an alert announcement, it will return to the original
station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette
tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.
Setting the Tone
TONE: Press and release this button until the desired
tone control (BASS, TREBLE or MIDRANGE) is
found. The radio keeps separate tone settings for each
band, preset (except weather band presets) and source.
