Traffic announcement priority on/off

Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON (Enhanced Other Networks)

Many FM broadcasters provide their service area with traffic messages at regular inter- vals.

All traffic program stations transmit a special telegram signal alongside their programs, which is recognised and decoded by the car radio.

As soon as such a signal is received, the display shows “TP” (Traffic Program). Other radio stations do not actually air traffic announcements themselves, but by using RDS-EON they make it possible to receive the traffic announcements of another station within the same radio network. In this case, “TP” will light up in the display as soon as the priority for traffic announcements is activa- ted. The display must then show “TA”.

If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic program for the duration of the messa- ge and return to the original program after the end of the message.

If the priority for traffic announcements is activated, “TA” will appear in the display. To switch the function on/off:

•Press the TIM button > 2 sec.

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the traffic program station you are currently listening to, you will hear a warning beep after approxi- mately 30 seconds.

This warning beep will also be released when pressing a preset without a traffic program.

Switching the warning beep off

a)Tune to another traffic program station:

•Press the rocker switch, or

•press a preset button with a station offering traffic information.

Alternative:

b)Switch off the priority for traffic an- nouncements:

•Press TIM > 2 sec.

In the display, the “TA” indication goes out.

You can reduce the beep tone volume to the pre-selected mute volume.

•For this purpose, press -dB.

Automatic seek tuning start

Prerequisite:

The priority for traffic announcements is ac- tivated. If you leave the reception area of your traffic program while listening to a tape or disc or when having turned down the volume completely, the car radio will automatically tune into another traffic program station.

If no such traffic program station is found within approximately 30 seconds, tape or disc reproduction will be interrupted and the system will release a warning beep. To switch the beep off, proceed as described above.

Adjusting the traffic message volume

The volume of the warning beep and of the current traffic message was pre-adjusted at the factory. If you would like to alter the setting, proceed as described under “DSC programming - TA LEVEL”.
