Receiving Traffic Information

Press TA/AUDIO to turn on the Traffic Information mode.

When the traffic information station is tuned in, the TA indicator lights up.

Traffic information is heard only when it is being broadcast. If traffic information is not being broadcast, the unit is set in the standby mode.

When a traffic information broadcast begins, the unit automatically receives it and the display shows “T. INFO.”

When traffic information broadcast is over, the unit will automatically set in the standby mode.

If the traffic information broadcast signal falls below a certain level, the unit remains in the receiving mode for 1 minute. If the signal remains below a certain level for over 70 seconds, “TA” blink light up in the display.

If you do not want to listen to the traffic information being received, press TA/AUDIO to skip that traffic information message.

The T. INFO mode will remain in the ON position to receive the next traffic information message.

If the volume level is changed while receiving traffic information, the changed volume level will be memorised. When traffic information is received next time, the volume level will be automatically adjusted to the level memorised.

When the traffic information broadcast finishes, the unit automatically returns to the original source you were playing before the traffic information broadcast began.
