Each time the DISPLAY MODE button is pressed whilst an FM station is tuned in, the display will switch as follows:

Station name (PS)

Programme type (PTY)

Radio text (RT)

Frequency

MHz

When the station you are tuning in is not an RDS station or even if it is an RDS station but it is very weak signal, the display will change in the follow- ing order:

Frequency

MHz

Notes for Radio text

The radio text for 10 characters will be displayed steadily for 4 seconds and then it will scroll across the display.

If you tune into a station which is not broadcast- ing any radio text, even if it is an RDS station, when you switch to the radio text position "NO RT" will be displayed.

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

Notes for RDS operation

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

"PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alter- nately, and the unit does not operate properly.

If a particular station is not broadcasting prop- erly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS re- ception 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, even if "RDS" is lit.

Notes:

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

The display can only be switched whilst tuned to the FM band.
