Making a selection for TMC
Before you can make a selection, the radio
must be tuned into a TMC station. “TMC”
will then appear in the display.
On each station selection key you can store
and recall a maximum of 5 motorways and
A roads. Alternatively, you can store and
recall 5 areas. However, you cannot store
areas and roads at the same time on the
same key.
a) Selecting area(s)
On the back page of these instructions you
will find a map indicating the UK TMC are-
as.
•
Use this map to find out which num-
bers have been allocated to which
areas (e.g. “12” for The Solent; “13” for
Greater London; “11” for The Severn
Estuary, etc.).
• Press TMC for approx. 2 sec. - the dis-
play will indicate e.g. “MOTORWAY”,
“A ROAD” or “AREA”.
• Use / to select “AREA”.
• Use << >> to select the input position
(the input field will flash).
The input fields for 3 areas will be displayed

•
press the corresponding station selec-
tion key 1 - 5 for approx. 1 sec. (beep).
Overwriting (altering) the input
It is possible to overwrite (alter) the existing
information entered. The new entry must be
stored to delete the old entry.
Deleting the input

key will be deleted if you

b) Selecting motorways or A roads
The road number can be entered for up to 5
motorways and 5 A roads.
Depending on the route you plan to travel,
select the numbers of the motorways/
A roads from an up-to-date road map. Only
road numbers up to 3 digits are supported,
so for the M7 enter “007”.
•
Press TMC for approx. 2 sec., the dis-
play will read “MOTORWAY”,
A ROAD” or “AREA”.

selected area, select the next input
field, etc.
You can select and store up to a maximum
of 5 areas and activate them as needed.
Notes:
The cursor will not move to the next input
field unless the entry in the last field is a
real area number.
The amount of information provided will
increase with the number of codes entered.
As a result, it is advisable to enter only as
many area numbers as necessary (max. 5).
Following the input of all of the area code
numbers desired, you can activate the in-
put or store it on a station selection key.
Activating the input

tion selection keys,
