Changing the displayed item

Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes as follows:

” AF on ” TA on ” AF TA on*

AF TA off “

*Select this to turn on both the AF and TA functions.

Notes

•“NO AF” and the station name flash alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.

•If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Push the (SEEK/AMS) control up or down while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the originally selected frequency.

The “REG on” (regional on) function lets you

 

 

stay tuned to a regional programme without

 

being switched to another regional station.

you want to turn off the function, do the

 

following.

MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

 

2 Press (4) (n) repeatedly until “REG off”

the unit to switch to another regional

 

station within the same network.

 

To go back to regional on, select “REG on” in

 

step 2 above.

Listening to traffic announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP) data let you automatically tune in an FM station is broadcasting traffic announcements even though you are listening to other programme sources.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA on” or “AF TA on” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” appears in the display when the unit finds a station broadcasting traffic announcements. When the traffic announcement starts, “TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the traffic announcement is over.

Tips

•If the traffic announcement starts while you are listening to another programme source, the unit automatically switches to the announcement and goes back to the original source when the announcement is over.

Notes

•“NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received station does not broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that broadcasts traffic announcements.

•When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcement of other stations in the same network.
