Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
DEUTSCH
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messa- ges for their service area at regular intervals. All traffic programme stations transmit a spe- cial carrier signal alongside their program- mes, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear 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 traffic programme station in the same radio net- work. If you listen to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TP” will appear in the display provided the priority for traffic programme stations has been activated, i.e. “TA” must be displayed.
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 being broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous condition. The priority for other traffic messa- ges remains active.
Warning beep
If you leave the reception area of the traffic programme station currently tuned into, you will hear a warning beep after approximately 30 seconds.
This alarm tone will also be released when pressing a preset button which has no traffic programme allocated to it.
Switching the warning beep off
a)Tune into another station offering traffic information:
•Press the rocker switch or
•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 operation)
When leaving the reception area of the tuned in traffic programme station while listening to a tape, the system will automatically start searching for a new TA programme.
If no such station is found within approxima- tely 30 seconds, tape operation will be stop- ped and a warning beep will sound.
To switch the warning beep off, proceed as described above.
Adjusting the volume for traffic announcements and the warning beep
This volume was preset at the factory.
You can alter the value using the DSC function (see “DSC programming, TA”).
