Emergency Alert System
Your RDS tuner is also able to automatical-
ly receive any RDS emergeny announce-
ments broadcast during extraordinary cir-
cumstances.
When the PTY feature is on, if your unit
received such a signal, the radio would flash
an alert message and switch to the RDS sta-
tion broadcasting the emergency announce-
ment, even if you are using a different source
(such as CD), increase the volume to the
level set under DSC (TA volume), and re-
ceive the message.
Notice:
As earlier mentioned, these functions are
currently only supported by a limited number
of RDS stations.
