Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
n Notes for RDS operation
If any of the following events occur, it does not mean
that the unit is faulty:
l "PS", "No PS" and a station name appear alternately,
and the unit does not operate properly.
l If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function
may not work properly.
l When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.
l "No PS", "No PTY" or "No RT" will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.
Notes for radio text:
l The first 14 characters of the radio text will appear for
4 seconds and then they will scroll across the display.
l If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, "No RT" will be displayed
when you switch to the radio text position.
l Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, "RT" will be displayed.
