You can arrange to have news bulletins interrupt your current
listening source, including other radio stations. When the
News Bulletin function is on, the PTY News Timeout setting
allows you to set the interval during which further news
interruption cannot take place. You can adjust the PTY news
interruption period from 10 to 90 minutes for each journey.
Display and setting:
"NEWS OFF/ 00min/ 10min/ 20min/ 30min/ 40min/ 50min/
60min/ 70min/ 80min/ 90min"
(min= minutes)
: When you select the news interruption timeout interval, the
News function turns on and the NEWS indicator lights up.
When a news bulletin is received, "NEWS" will be displayed
and reception will begin at the preset volume.
• If you choose the "20
min
" setting, further news bulletins will not
be received for 20 minutes once the first news bulletin is
received.
• This function is only available if the desired station sends PTY-
code for news bulletin or belongs to <Enhanced Other
Network>-Network sending PTY-code for news bulletin.
• If you turn on the news bulletin function in the MW/LW band,
the band is switched automatically to the FM band.
However, the MW/LW band is not returned to when you turn
