Traffic information station reception with RDS-EON

The abbreviation “EON” stands for En-
hanced Other Networks, which means that
information is exchanged within a radio net-
work.

Many FM radio stations provide their serv-
ice area with traffic messages at regular in-
tervals.

Along with their programs, all traffic infor-
mation stations transmit a special carrier sig-
nal, which is decoded by your car radio. If
this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in
the display (Traffic Program).

In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible for them to forward the traffic
messages broadcast by another traffic in-
formation station in the same radio network.

If you want to have the priority for traffic an-
nouncements activated while listening to
one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA”
(Traffic Announcement priority) must appear
on the display panel.

If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic program station (in this case, NDR2)
for the duration of the message and return
to the original program (NDR3) afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority
on/off

If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grams is activated, “TA” will light up in the
display.

To switch the priority on or off:

Press TU to access menu level 2.

Press the TA button.

If you press STOP while a message is be-
ing broadcast, this message will be inter-
rupted. The unit will then switch back to the
previous mode. The priority for other traffic
messages remains active.

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the traffic
information station you are currently tuned
into, you will hear a warning beep at inter-
vals of approx. 30 seconds.

This warning beep will also be emitted if you
press a preset button for a station which
does not send the traffic information signal.

Switching the warning beep off

a) Tune into another station offering traf-

fic information:

• Press the rocker switch or
