With the TI function it is possible:
a) - to search only RDS stations that trans-
mit in the FM band, enabled to broadcast
traffic information
b) - to receive traffic information although
tape or CD are being played
c) - to receive traffic information at a pre-
defined minimum volume even with the ra-
dio volume off.
The operations to be carried out for each
of the three above conditions are listed be-
low.
a) - To receive stations enabled to broad-
cast traffic information:
– select band F1 , F2 or FA
– briefly press button “ TI ” ( 11 ) so that
the display shows “ T. INFO ”.
To seek other stations, press “
»
“ ( 26 )
or “
”
“ ( 24 ).
To store stations with TI on, carry out the
storage operations (see “Manual station
storage”).
b) - If wishing to receive traffic informa-
tion when listening to a tape or Compact
Disc, before inserting the tape or playing the
CD, tune to a station enabled to broadcast
traffic information and activate the
TI func-
tion. If while listening to the tape or Com-
pact Disc, this station broadcasts traffic in-
formation, the tape or Compact Disc will be
suspended temporarily and resumed again
automatically after the end of the message.
At the start of receiving traffic information
the display will briefly show the wording
“
TRF-INFO ”.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic informa-
tion message, briefly press button “ TI ”
( 11 ) during transmission of the message.
c) - To receive traffic information while not
listening to the radio: turn the TI function
on, tune to a station enabled to transmit traf-
fic information and turn the volume to zero.
This way, if that station broadcasts traffic in-
formation, this will be heard at a minimum
predefined volume (see “Presetting
TI
func-
tion volume level (Traffic Information)).
WARNING In certain countries radio sta-
tions exist which, even if the TP function is
on (the display shows “
TP ”), do not trans-
mit traffic information.
WARNING If the TI function is on (the
display will show “ T. INFO ”) and the sta-
tion tuned is not able to provide traffic in-
formation or it is no longer able to provide
this information (the display will not show
“
TP ”) then, after 1 minute in which the ra-
dio is in these conditions:
– if listening to a tape or Compact Disc an-
other station is sought that is enabled to
transmit traffic information;
– if listening to the radio, a beep is given
for five seconds to alert that it is not possi-
ble to receive traffic information; staying in
this condition will sound the beep every 30
seconds, to stop it:
– tune to a station that can provide traf-
fic information (the display will show “ TP ”)
or
– switch off the TI function by pressing but-
ton “ TI ” ( 11 ) briefly.
