Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean
that the unit is faulty:

●

“PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately,
and the unit does not operate properly.

●

If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function
may not work properly.

●

When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.

●

“NO PS”, “NO PTY” or “NO RT” will flash for about
5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

●

The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear for
4 seconds and then they will scroll across the display.

●

If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, “NO RT” will be displayed
when you switch to the radio text position.

●

Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, “RT” will be displayed.

To specify programmed types and select stations
(PTY search):

You can search a station by specifying the programme 
type (news, sports, traffic programme, etc. ... see page 19) 
from the stations in memory.

Notes:

●

If the display has stopped flashing, start again from
step 2. If the unit finds a desired programme type, the
corresponding channel number will lit for about 8
seconds, and then the station name will remain it.

●

If you want to listen to the same programme type of
another station, press the RDS PTY button whilst the
channel number or station name is flashing. The unit
will look for the next station.

●

If no station can be found, “NOT FOUND” will appear
for 4 seconds.

If you select the traffic programme:

If you select the traffic programme (TP) in step 3, “TP” will 
appear.
(This does not mean that you can listen to the traffic 
information at that time.)
When the traffic information is broadcast, “TA” will appear.
