Alarm function
If an “Alarm!” (Emergency) signal is received from a station while listening to an RDS station sending the EON data, the unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting the “Alarm!” signal.
More about the EON function
•EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit.
•While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same type.
•If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by the EON function and the currently tuned station (“WAITING” flashes in the main display), press EON to cancel the EON function.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally (“NOT FOUND” appears this time), and the indication of the program type flashing on the display disappears.
