ments,

—search for a stronger signal station,
—receive announcements concerning local
and national emergencies (even if RDS
function is turned off)
RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations which broadcast RDS in-
formation. ALERT:
This type of announcement warns
of national or local emergencies. You will
not be able to turn off alert announce-
ments. Alert announcements will come on
even if RDS mode is turned off. “Alert!”
appears on the display when an alert an-
nouncement plays. The radio uses TA vol-
ume during these announcements. 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 an-
nouncement, it will return to the original
station when the announcement is fin-
ished. If the cassette tape or compact
disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the
announcement is finished.
