Traffic programme reception with RDS-EON

EON is the exchange of station information within a transmission chain.

Many FM stations transmit up-to-date traf- fic announcements for their broadcasting re- gion.

Stations which transmit traffic announce- ments transmit a signal which is recognized and evaluated by your car radio. When such

asignal is recognized, “TP” T(raffic Pro- gramme) appears in the display.

In addition, some stations transmit no traf- fic announcements of their own, but offer with RDS-EON the facility of receiving traf- fic announcements from a traffic programme station within the same transmission chain.

If priority for traffic announcements is to be activated whilst such a station (e.g. NDR3) is being received, “TA” (priority forTraffic Announcements) must appear in the dis- play.

When a traffic announcement is broadcast, the unit switches automatically to the traffic announcement programme (in this case NDR2). The traffic announcement is played, after which the unit switches back to the pro- gramme (NDR3) previously selected.

Activating/deactivating priority for traffic programmes

”TA” appears on the display when traffic pro- gramme priority is activated.

Activating/deactivating priority:

•Radio mode: Press the TU key again to call up the function menu (not nec- essary in MD/CDC mode).

•Press the TA softkey (S6).

The function menu of the audio source is called up automatically during a traffic an- nouncement. If the TA softkey is pressed during a traffic announcement, priority is deactivated only for the duration of this par- ticular announcement. The unit switches back to the previous state. Priority remains active for further traffic announcements.

A number of keys have no function during a traffic announcement.

Warning tone

Should you leave the broadcast range of a selected traffic announcement programme, a beep sounds as a warning at intervals of approx. 30 seconds.

Pressing a station key on which a station without a TP signal is stored also causes a warning tone to sound.

Deactivating the warning tone

Select a different station with the traffic an- nouncement service:

•Press the rocker or

•a station key on which a traffic an- nouncement programme is stored.

or

Deactivate traffic programme station priority:

•Press the TA softkey (S6).

Automatic seek run

If you are listening to MDs or CDs and you leave the broadcast range of the selected traffic programme station, the radio automat- ically looks for a new traffic programme sta- tion. If a traffic announcement station is not found within approx. 30 seconds of the start of the seek run, a beep sounds as warning at intervals of 30 seconds. To switch off the warning tone, follow the procedure de- scribed above.

Adjusting the volume for traffic announcements and the warning tone

This volume is set in the factory as a de- fault. You can however change it by means of DSC (refer to “Programming with DSC – TA VOL”).
