Listening to a regional programme
The “REG ON” (regional on) function of this unit lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG ON, ” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.
Press the AF/TA button for more than two seconds until “REG OFF” lights up in the display.
Note that selecting “REG OFF” might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.
Note
This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.

Listening to Traffic
Announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP) data let you automatically tune in an FM station that is broadcasting traffic announcements even though you are listening to other sources.
Press the AF/TA button until “TA ON” or “AF/TA ON” lights up in the display.
The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” lights up in the display when the unit finds a station broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts, “TA” flashes, then flashing stops when the traffic announcement is over.
Tip
When 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 doesn’t broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that does broadcast traffic announcements.
•When the “EON” indication appears with “TP” in the display window, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcements of other stations in the same network.
To cancel the current traffic announcement
Press the AF/TA button momentarily.
To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off the function by pressing the AF/TA button until “AF/TA OFF” lights up.

Receiving emergency announcements
If an emergency announcement comes in while you are listening to the radio, the programme will be automatically switched to the announcement. If you are listening to a source other than the radio, the emergency announcements will be heard if you set AF or TA to on. The unit will then automatically switch to these announcements no matter what you are listening to at the time.
