Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON

The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhan- ced Other Networks, which means that in- formation is exchanged within a radio net- work.

Many FM radio stations provide their ser- vice area with traffic messages at regular intervals.

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, “TP” 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), “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 “AF.TA” button.

If you press “AF.TA” while a message is being broadcast, this message only will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous mode. The priority for other traffic messages 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 warning will also be emitted if you press a preset button for a station which does not send the traffic programme signal (TP).

Switching the warning beep off

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.

or

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

•Press “TA”.

“TA” will disappear from the display.

Automatic seek tuning start

(CD mode)

If you leave the reception area for the traffic programme station you have tuned into while you are listening to a CD, the system will automatically start searching for a new traf- fic programme.

If no such station is found within approxi- mately 30 seconds, a warning beep will sound every 30 seconds. To switch the warning beep off, proceed as described abo- ve.

Adjusting the volume for traffic announcements and the warning beep

Although this volume was preset at the fac- tory, you can use the DSC function to alter the setting (see “DSC programming - TA VOL”).
