RDS Functions

Receiving traffic announcements

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

Turning the TA function on or off

1.Press 2 or 3 to tune in to a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.

The “TRFC” indicator lights when the tuner is tuned in to a TP station or an enhanced other network’s TP station.

2.Press TA to turn the TA function on.

The “3TRFC” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner is waiting for traffic announce- ments.

•Press TA again when no traffic announce- ment is being received to turn the TA func- tion off.

Note:

•The system switches back to the original source fol- lowing traffic announcement reception.

•The TA function can be activated from sources other than the tuner if the tuner was last set to the FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band.

•If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA function lets you operate other tuning functions while listening to sources other than the tuner.

•If you switched the TA function on while tuned in to neither a TP nor an enhanced other network’s TP station, only “T” in the “TRFC” indicator lights.

•Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are tuned in during seek tuning when the “3TRFC” or “T” indicator is on.

•Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are stored by BSM when the “3TRFC” or “T” indi- cator is on.

Canceling traffic announcements

•Press TA while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announce- ment and return to the original source.

The announcement is canceled but the tuner remains in the TA mode until TA is pressed again.

Adjusting the TA volume

When a traffic announcement begins, the vol- ume adjusts automatically to a preset level to enable you to hear the announcement clearly.

•Turn VOLUME to adjust and set the vol- ume during reception of a traffic announcement.

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

TP alarm

About 30 seconds after the “3TRFC” indicator turns to “T” due to a weak signal, a five second beep sounds to remind you to select another TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.

•When listening to a RDS broadcast, press 2 or 3 to tune in to another TP station or enhanced other network’s TP station.

In sources other than the tuner, the tuner automatically seeks out the TP station with the strongest signal in the current area 10 (or 30)* seconds after the “3TRFC” indicator turns to “T”.
