News Bulletin Function with PTY News Timeout Setting

You can arrange to have news bulletins interrupt your current listening source, including other radio stations. When the News Bulletin function is on, the PTY News Timeout setting allows you to set the interval during which further news interruption cannot take place. You can adjust the PTY news interruption period from 10 to 90 minutes for each journey.

Display and setting:

“News OFF” (Default setting) , “News 00min” - “News 90min”

(min= minutes)

:When you select the news interruption timeout interval, the News function turns on and the NEWS indicator lights up. When a news bulletin is received, "NEWS" will be displayed and reception will begin at the preset volume.

NOTE

•If you choose the "20min" setting, further news bulletins will not be received for 20 minutes once the first news bulletin is received.

•This function is only available if the desired station sends PTY- code for news bulletin or belongs to <Enhanced Other Network>-Network sending PTY-code for news bulletin.

•If you turn on the news bulletin function in the MW/LW band, the band is switched automatically to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band is not returned to when you turn off the function.
