Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station 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
goes back 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
announcement of other stations in the same
network.
Changing the displayed item
Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes
as follows:
” AF-ON ” TA-ON ” AF.TA-ON*
AF.TA-OFF “
* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA
functions.
Notes
• “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately,
if the unit cannot find an alternative station in
the network.
• If the station name starts flashing after selecting
a station with the AF function on, this indicates
that no alternative frequency is available. Push
the SEEK/AMS control up or down while the
station name is flashing (within eight seconds).
The unit starts searching for another frequency
with the same PI (Programme Identification) data
(“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the
unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI”
appears, and the unit returns to the originally
selected frequency.
