Finding a Program Type (PTY) Station(RDS and XM™)

To select and find a desired PTY perform the following:

1. Turn the P-TYPE knob to select a PTY.
2. Once the desired PTY displays, press the SEEK TYPE button to select and go to the PTY’s first station.
3. To go to another station within that PTY, press the SEEK TYPE button twice to display the PTY and then to go to another station.
4. Press the P-TYPE knob to exit program type select mode.

IF PTY times out and no longer displays, go back to Step 1.

If both PTY and TRAF are on, the radio searches for stations with the selected PTY and traffic announcements.

If the radio cannot find the desired program type, NONE displays and the radio returns to the last station you were listening to.

To turn alternate frequency off, press and hold BAND again for two seconds. AF OFF displays.

The radio does not switch to other stations.
