To cancel the current traffic
announcement

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off
the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF
TA off” appears.
Presetting the volume of traffic
announcements
You can preset the volume level of the traffic
announcements beforehand so you won’t miss
the announcement. When a traffic
announcement starts, the volume will be
automatically adjusted to the preset level.

Select the desired volume level.
2
Press (AF/TA) for two seconds.
“TA” appears and the setting is stored.
Receiving emergency
announcements
If an emergency announcement comes in while
you are listening to the radio, the programme
will automatically switch to the
announcement. If you are listening to a source
other than the radio, the emergency
announcements will be heard if you set AF or
TA to on. The unit will then automatically
switch to these announcements no matter what
you are listening to at the time.
Local link function (United
Kingdom only)
The Local Link function lets you select other
local stations in the area, even if they are not
stored on your number buttons.
1
Press a number button ((1) to (10)) that
has a local station stored on it.
2
Within five seconds, press the number
button of the local station again.
3
Repeat this procedure until the desired
local station is received.
Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station that is broadcasting
traffic announcements even though you are
listening to other programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA on” or
“AF TA on” appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. “TP” appears in the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the
traffic announcement is over.
Tip
If the traffic announcement starts while you are
listening to another programme source, the unit
automatically switches to the announcement and
return to the original source when the
announcement is over.
Notes
• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received
station does not broadcast traffic
announcements. Then, the unit starts searching
for a station that broadcasts traffic
announcements.
• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display,
the current station makes use of broadcast traffic
announcements by other stations in the same
network.
• While the unit is receiving the traffic
announcements, the voice drive function and
voice memo function do not work.
