Listening to a regional programme
The “REG” (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“ but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.
Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds until “REG” disappears.
Note that turning the “REG” function 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.

The Local Link function lets you select other local stations in the area, even though they are not stored in your presets.

2 Within five seconds, press again the preset number button of the local station.
3 Repeat this procedure until the desired local station is received.
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 programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) until “TA” or “AF TA” lights up on the display.
The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” lights up on 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” on the display, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcements of other stations in the same network.
To cancel the current traffic announcement
Press (AF/TA) momentarily.
To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF” and “TA” disappears.
