•When you are listening to

When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an FM station:
Emergency broadcasts are selected automatically only when an FM station broadcasting the RDS signal is selected.
Emergency broadcasts are not selected while AM (MW) and non- RDS stations are selected, while other sources are selected, or while the center unit is in the standby mode.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it can receive the ALARM signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the center unit work in the same way as the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the center unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the test signal, “TEST” appears on the display window.
