Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON
Many FM broadcasters provide their service area with
Priority of traffic announcements | Automatic seek tuning start |
ON/OFF | (During cassette operation) |
All traffic program stations transmit a special signal in parallel to the radio program. Your car radio is able to identify such traffic pro- gram station by this TP signal. The display will indicate “TP” to confirm that a traffic program station is tuned in.
If you press TA when a traffic announcement is played, the radio stops playing the messa- ge and switches to the previous mode. The priority of later traffic announcements re- mains on.
Other radio stations do not air traffic announ- cements by themselves, but offer the possi- bility to receive the traffic announcements of another radio station within the same radio network. In this case, TP also lights up in the display.
TA is displayed, if the priority of traffic an- nouncements is on.
If a traffic announcement is aired, your radio will switch to the traffic program station for the duration of the message and will switch back to the previous station after the end of the message.
“TA” lights up in the display, if the priority of traffic announcements is on. To switch the function on and off,
•press the TA button.
