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 a 10- or

30-second delay. The delay is 10 seconds if TA is on and 30 seconds if TA and AF are on.
