If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grammes is activated, “TA” will light up in the
display.
To switch the priority on or off:
•
Press the TA button.
When pressing TA while a message is being
broadcast, this message will be interrupted.
The unit will then switch back to the previous
condition. The priority for other traffic messa-
ges remains active.
Warning beep
If you leave the reception area of the traffic
programme station currently tuned into, you
will hear a warning beep after approximately
30 seconds.
This alarm tone will also be released when
pressing a preset button which has no traffic
programme allocated to it.
Switching the warning beep off
a) Tune into another station offering traffic
information:
•
Press the rocker switch or
•
a preset button which has a traffic
programme station allocated to it.
Alternatively:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-
nouncements:
•
Press TA.
“TA” will disappear from the display.
Automatic seek tuning start
(tape operation)
When leaving the reception area of the tuned
in traffic programme station while listening to
a tape, the system will automatically start
searching for a new TA programme.
If no such station is found within approxima-
tely 30 seconds, tape operation will be stop-
ped and a warning beep will sound.
To switch the warning beep off, proceed as
described above.
Adjusting the volume for traffic
announcements and the warning
beep
This volume was preset at the factory.
You can alter the value using the DSC function
(see “DSC programming, TA VOL”).
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messa-
ges for their service area at regular intervals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a
special carrier signal alongside their pro-
grammes, which is decoded by your car
radio. If this signal is identified, “TP” will
appear in the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-
grammes themselves, but by using RDS-
EON they offer the possibility to receive the
traffic messages broadcast by another traffic
programme station in the same radio net-
work. If you listen to one of these stations
(e.g. NDR3), “TP” will appear in the display
provided the priority for traffic programme
stations has been activated, i.e. “TA” must
be displayed.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2)
for the duration of the message and return to
the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.
