Programming the TIM standby mode / TIM times
You can programme two TIM times (TIMER 1 and TIMER 2).
For example, TIMER 1 could be the time when leaving home in the morning, TIMER 2 the time when driving home after work.
The TIM times to be programmed should correspond to the approximate times of de- parture. The radio will then record the traffic information broadcast for 90 minutes before
-and after - this time, i.e. lasting a total of three hours.
Attention: During this period, a motor an- tenna will remain extracted. Note the rele- vant warning note at the end of this chap- ter.
