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

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.

special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise.

hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape
or MiniDisc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will
return to the original station when the announcement is

the display, parts of the message will appear every three
seconds until the message is completed. To see the parts
of the message faster than every three seconds, press this
button again. A new group of words will appear on the

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 recentlytuned 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.

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

begin playing as soon as it is inserted. When one side of
your cassette tape is done playing, auto reverse plays the
other side of your cassette tape. Cassette tapes may be
loaded with the radio off but they will not start playing
until the radio is on. If you want to insert a cassette tape
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button.

tape is playing, with an arrow to indicate which side of
the tape is playing.
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape,
it could be that:

The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning the
right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Flip the
tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily,
your cassette tape may be damaged and should not
be used in the player. Try a new tape to be sure your
player is working properly.

being generated as the modem establishes a connection.
When the connection is complete, the audio will return.
When you end your e
-mail session your radio will
instruct the phone to hang up.
Cellular Phone Reception
If the reception of the cellular signal weakens the error
rate of the modem will increase. If you are having
difficulty connecting or sending and receiving data the
cellular signal may be too weak. To ensure good signal conditions, the cell phone display should show
a minimum of three to four bars for signal strength.
The volume on the phone handset should be set to
three bars for best results.
Text Based Information Services
Your radio can be used to gather information using
enhanced Radio Data Systems (RDS) while you are out of
the vehicle. The radio can provide text
-based information
such as traffic and weather. This is done through a
nationwide network of FM stations. You do not need to
know which station is providing this service, the radio will
search out the station when not being used. Your dealer
can provide details on how to obtain this service.
You can program the radio to automatically wake up
twice daily, for example, at 7 AM and again at 4:30 PM.
If your vehicle is off, the radio will wake up at these
programmed times to gather the information. Although
the radio is awake and receiving data, it will appear to
be off. There will be no sound or display. It may take
up to 15 minutes for each update. The information
will then be available for review when you enter your
vehicle. If the vehicle is on at the time of the scheduled
update, the update will not be performed. In addition
to the user programmable times, the system will
automatically update the information when you turn
the ignition off and leave the vehicle.

3-45 Programming for News/Information Updates
Your vehicle is delivered with the Communiport
Infotainment radio programmable updates off. You

2. Press and release the INFO button, UPDATE 1
TIME will appear on the display. Use the HR and
MN buttons to set the time you would like to retrieve
the first news and information update.
3. Press and release the INFO button again, UPDATE

automatic updates are not required.
If you have not started your vehicle in a couple of days
the radio will switch to a reduced update schedule by
skipping every other update time. After approximately
three days the radio will stop providing information
updates until you restart your vehicle. This is intended
to conserve your vehicle's battery.
Programming for an Immediate

the INFO button until UPDATE NOW? PRESS RDM
appears on the display. Then press the RDM button while
UPDATE NOW? PRESS RDM is being displayed.
The radio will begin the update by switching to the
FM band, if not already there, and tuning to the service
provider's station. If you are listening to AM, FM or
weather, UPDATING INFO.... will appear on the
display until the update has completed. You can switch
the source to cassette or CD changer or turn the radio
off without interrupting the update.
You can also perform the update while listening to the
cassette player or CD changer. The radio will briefly
display UPDATING INFO...., then return to the
normal display. The radio will beep once to let you
know when the update has completed.
To cancel the update and return to the station you were
listening to, turn the radio off and back on again.

3-46
While performing the information update, the radio will
temporarily disable the RDS buttons. The RDS buttons
will be enabled again once the update is completed.

INFO button. The radio will display TOPIC: ALL.
The radio will then begin displaying all the received
information at a rate of approximately three seconds
per display. You can page through the topics at a faster
rate by pressing and releasing the INFO button after
the text appears.
You can access a topic directly from the TOPIC: ALL
display by pressing and releasing the INFO button until
the desired topic is displayed. The radio will display the
information for that topic only.
If the radio has not received any information, NO TEXT
AVAILABLE will appear on the display. This will be
followed by the UPDATE NOW? PRESS RDM display
previously described.
Vehicle Control
Your radio can provide you with safety and convenience
features by performing the following vehicle control actions:

Unlocking or locking the doors,

opening the trunk,

flashing the parking lights and

sounding the horn.
If you need one of these services, contact the OnStar

service center.
When you turn your vehicle off, the radio will
automatically tune to your FM provider's station and
check for a vehicle control request received through
RDS. Your vehicle control request will be completed in
five minutes or less if your vehicle is in the continental
United States and in a location that can receive
FM broadcasts.
Vehicle control is available for six days from the time
you last turned off your vehicle. This time can be
increased up to 11 days by turning off the automatic
information updates as described previously. This would
be useful if you are going to be away from your vehicle
for an extended period of time.
For more information see OnStar in the Index.
