Monitoring traffic, news, or information programmes (EON)
The EON (Enchanced Other Network) function allows the receiver to switch automatically to a station broadcasting traffic annoucements, news or information programmes. When such a programme starts on a station networking with the preset FM RDS station, the receiver automatically tunes in the station. After the programme ends, the receiver switches back to the original preset station or the programme source you were originally listening to.
1Tune to an FM station.
2Press RDS EON to select the programme you want to monitor.
Each time you press RDS EON, the indicators light as follows:
/TA (Traffic Announcement)
.
NEWS
.
INFO (information)
.
OFF (No indication lights up)
The receiver enters EON standby mode.
“NO TA”, “NO NEWS”, or “NO INFO” appears if you press RDS EON before tuning to an RDS station.
When a station starts broadcasting the programme you selected, the receiver switches to the station, a message (e.g., “NOW TA”) appears and the respective indicator (e.g.,“TA”) flashes. After the programme ends, the receiver switches back to the station you were listening to (or the function you were using).
