“RT” may appear on the display window.
• When PS, PTY, or RT signals appear on the display
window, some special characters and marks may
not be displayed correctly.

the corresponding PTY code.

and PTY code flash. When “SEARCH” is
pressed while the selected frequency and
PTY code are flashing, the system
automatically starts to find the next station.
After the frequency and PTY code stop
flashing or if any other operation is done, the
system automatically tunes in to the station.
