Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
DEUTSCH
EON stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network.
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messa- ges for their service area at regular intervals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal along with 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 make it possible 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.
If TA is pressed while a message is broad- cast, this message will be interrupted.
The unit will then switch back to the pre- vious 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 if a preset button is pressed 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 traf- fic 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 you leave the reception area of the tuned in traffic programme station while lis- tening to a tape, the system will automati- cally start searching for a new TA pro- gramme.
If no such station is found within approxi- mately 30 seconds, tape operation will be stopped and a beep tone will sound. To switch off the beep tone proceed as de- scribed above.
