Using the standby receptions
TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the receiver to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from any source other than AM.
The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 18).
To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator either lights up or flashes.
•If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is activated.
•If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs when you are listening to an FM station without the RDS signals required for TA Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to another station providing these signals. The TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
