See "Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections" in the Index. 3-16 When the PTY display is on, press SEEK and SCAN to find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA are on, the radio will search for stations with traffic announcements and the selected PTY. PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs). See "Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections" in the Index. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and six FM2). Tune in an RDS station with the PTY you desire. 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. 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. 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. [. . . ] Box 33169 Detroit, MI 48232-5169 In Canada, please call us at 1-800-263-3777 (English) or 1-800-263-7854 (French).
