Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON

- The radio will switch to the linked sta- tion NDR2 for the duration of the “POP” programme.

During CD operation, the set will also switch to the programme offering the selected PTY within the broadcasting network.

After the PTY programme has ended the system will switch back to the previous mode (radio or CD).

Note:

As already mentioned, these functions are only supported by a limited number of RDS stations at the present time.

The abbreviation “EON” stands for En- hanced Other Networks, which means that information is exchanged within a radio net- work.

Many FM radio stations provide their serv- ice area with traffic messages at regular in- tervals.

Along with their programmes, all traffic pro- gramme stations transmit a special carrier signal, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, “T” will appear in the display (Traffic programme).

In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic infor- mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to forward the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic pro- gramme station in the same radio network.

If you want to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “A” 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, “A” will light up in the display.

To switch the priority on or off:

Press the TA button.

If you press TA while a message is being broadcast, this message will be interrupted.

The unit will then switch back to the previ- ous mode. The priority for other traffic mes- sages remains active.

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

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the traffic programme station currently tuned into, you will hear a warning beep after approximate- ly 30 seconds.

This alarm tone will also be emitted if you press a preset button for a station which does not send the traffic information signal.
