Enhanced Other Network (EON)
indicator
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other network stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS informa- tion. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations, including the one that is currently tuned in to. For exam- ple, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency, or another station serving the same programme. EON also keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick recep- tion.
Emergency Announcement Reception
When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit is automatically switched to receiving the broadcast even if a source other than radio is selected. During receiving the emergency announcement, “ALARM” appears on the dis- play.
Note:
¡Emergency announcements are broadcast at the TA vol- ume level (a Page 18). Use caution not to decrease the TA volume excessively.
