if one of the other
RDS
function buttons has been

RDS
information, the station’s call letters and Program
Type
(PTY)
will
replace the station’s frequency on the

If
the radio is
tuned to a station that

on
the
display. While

stronger station in the network when a station gets too
weak for listening. Press the
RDS

followed by this button again to turn
RDS
off. All
RDS

REGION:
You can also use the
RDS
button to access
the region function. When an
RDS
station becomes
weak, this function searches for a stronger station within
the same network.
A
network can span a great distance.
One network can have stations spread across a country
or continent. Each network breaks down into regions.
With regions, local news items like weather and traffic
are available to you. When the region function is on, the
radio only searches for stations
in
the same network and
region. You can only
use
the region function when
RDS
is already on. Press the
RDS
SELECT button. Then
press
and hold the
RDS
button for two seconds.
REGION:

will appear on the display. While
REGION:
ON
appears on the display, press the
RDS
button again
to
turn the region function
off.
REGION:

on
the display. The region function can

(2):
Press the
RDS
SELECT button, followed by
this button to receive traffic announcements. The radio
will turn on the TA display.
TP
will appear on the
display
if
the tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related to
the tuned station.
If
the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a
station which does. When the radio finds a station which
broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If
no
station is found, NONE
FOUND
will appear on the
display. When SEEK or SCAN is pressed with the
traffic announcement function on, the radio will only
stop
at
stations which broadcast traffic announcements.
