Setting other characteristics
During FM mode, keep pressing and holding for more than 2 seconds the SEL button to turn the setting TA on, then press it shortly and repeatedly to select other settings: PI, RETUNE, MASK, BEEP, SEEK, DSP, LOUD, STEREO, DX/LOCAL, VOL.
a.TA (Traffic Announcement) mode
To determine what action will the radio take if the newly tuned station does not receive TP (Transport Program) information for 5 seconds. Rotate the VOLUME knob to select the desired mode: TA ALARM and
TA SEEK.
-TA SEEK
When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for 5 seconds, the radio retunes to next station which has not the same station (PI – Program Information) as the last station, but has the TP information. When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which is set by RETUNE SHORT (60 seconds) or RETUNE LONG (90 seconds), the radio starts to retune to next same PI station. When same PI station does not catch in 1 cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station with TP information.
-TA ALARM
During searching the radio does not retune but the double beep sound (alarm) is output.
b.PI mode
“PI” is referred to “Different PI (Program Information) with same AF (Alternative Frequency)”.
If a car cruises that critical area back and forth, an oscillation phenomenon can be occurred, because the different PI code can be receive from a same AF. You can select PI SOUND or PI MUTE.
-PI SOUND
When above different PI sound (DIP) is heard once in a while, the DIP's sound will be heard for less than 1 second.
-PI MUTE
Under above same situation, a mute sound will be heard for less than 1 sec.
