Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON

The abbreviation “EON” stands for En- hanced Other Networks, meaning the ex- change of information within a radio network. Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messag- es for their service area at regular intervals. All traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal alongside their pro- grammes, which is decoded by your car ra- dio. If this signal is identified, “TP” will ap- pear in the display (Traffic Programme).

In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic pro- grammes themselves, but by using RDS- EON they offer the possibility to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traf- fic programme station in the same radio network.

If you wish to have the priority for traffic an- nouncements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA” must appear on the display panel.

If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority on/off

If the priority for traffic announcement pro- grammes is activated, “TA” will light up in the display.

To switch the priority on or off:

Press the TA button.

When pressing TA while a message is be- ing broadcast, this message will be inter- rupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous condition. The priority for all other traffic messages remains active.

Please note that several buttons have no function while a traffic announcement is broadcast.

Beep tone

If you leave the reception area of the traffic programme station currently tuned into, you will hear a beep tone approximately every 30 seconds.

This tone will also be released when press- ing a preset button which has no traffic pro- gramme allocated to it.

Switching off the beep tone

a)Tune into another station offering traf- fic information:

Press the rocker switch or

press a preset button which has a traffic programme station allocated to it.

Alternatively:

b)Switch off the priority for traffic an- nouncements:

Press TA.

“TA” will disappear from the display.

Automatic seek tuning start

(tape and CD changer operation)

When leaving the reception area of the tuned in traffic programme station while listening to a tape or CD, the system will automati- cally start searching for a new TA pro- gramme.

If no such station is found within approxi- mately 30 seconds, you will hear a warning beep every 30 seconds. To switch off the beep tone proceed as described above.
