When both “TA” and “EON” are displayed, this means that in addition to the currently received station, another station too is broadcasting a traffic announcement.
Presetting the Volume of Traffic Announcements
It is possible to hear the traffic announcements at a previously set volume level. For example, even if volume is turned to zero, it will automatically change to the preset level when a traffic announcement starts.

Receiving Emergency Announcements
In case of danger through an emergency or a natural disaster, RDS stations transmit emergency announcements to warn the drivers in that area. Such announcements can be received only when the AF or TA functions are activated. When an emergency announcement is received, tape, CD or MD playback will stop, the unit will automatically change to FM, and the information can be heard.
