Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON
Many FM broadcasters provide their service area with traffic messages at regular inter- vals.
Priority of traffic announcements | Automatic seek tuning start |
ON/OFF | (During cassette operation) |
All traffic program stations transmit a special signal parallel to the radio program. Your car radio is able to identify such traffic program station by this TP signal. The display will indicate “TP” to confirm that a traffic program station is tuned in.
Other radio stations do not air traffic announ- cements by themselves, but offer the possi- bility to receive the traffic announcements of another radio station within the same radio network. During reception of such a station (e.g. NDR3) “TP” lights on the display as soon as the priority of traffic announcements is activated. Then the display has to light “TA”.
If a traffic announcement is aired, your radio will switch to the traffic program station for the duration of the message and will switch back to the previous station after the end of the message.
“TA” lights up in the display, if the priority of traffic announcements is on. To switch the function on and off,
•press the TA button.

If you leave the reception area of your traffic program station while you are playing a cas- sette, the car radio will automatically tune into another traffic program station.
