Receiving traffic announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. TA can be activated for both a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced other network’s TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).

1Tune in a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.

When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other network’ s TP station the TP indicator will light.

2Press TA to turn traffic announcement standby on.

Press TA and the TA indicator appears in the display. The tuner will standby for traffic announcements.

• To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.

3Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement begins.

When you press VOLUME up/+, the volume is raised and when pressed down/–, the volume is lowered.

The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.

4Press TA while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announcement. The tuner returns to the original source but remains in the standby mode until TA is pressed again.

Notes

•The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement recep- tion.

•Only TP and enhanced other network’s TP stations are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when TA is on.

Responding to the TP alarm

When a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station is lost due to a weak signal the TP indi- cator is extinguished and a series of short beeps, about five seconds long, sound to remind you to select another TP or enhanced other network‘s TP station.

When listening to the tuner, tune in another TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.

•When listening to sources other than the tuner the unit will automatically seek out a TP station with the strongest signal after about 10- or about 30-second delay. The delay is about 10 seconds if TA is on and 30 seconds if TA and AF are on.
