The FM transmitter transmits the audio signal from your navigation device to your
car radio via the FM waveband. To do this, you must first select an available
transmission frequency in your navigator and then tune your car radio to the same frequency.
When you select the FM transmitter, you also have the option of
selecting
, changing and
using a pre-set
frequency
. You should first look for a radio frequency which is free or check
whether one of the pre-set frequencies is free.
If no radio station is broadcasting on a pre-set
frequency, you may then use that frequency. If the
particular frequency is not allowed in certain
countries, you can tap the Advanced button in
order to change and then use one or more
frequencies.
Tap the 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0 buttons to change the
frequency either upwards or downwards.
Note
: In a number of countries, it is illegal to broadcast on specific frequencies. For example:
in the USA, odd frequencies are not allowed. If you select such a frequency, the OK button
will be deactivated.
Tapping
OK
will save the settings you have made. The frequency selected will also be
available when you next select a pre-set frequency.
If you are in possession of a Car Kit (optional) and have activated the Car Kit option in the
settings menu, you will also be given the option of having the sound output via the Car Kit.
2.5.10 TMC station (optional)
The Falk Navigator navigation software is able to receive TMC (Traffic Message
Channel) messages regarding current traffic disruptions such as traffic jams. TMC is a digital
messaging service that transmits traffic messages along with a radio station signal. It
therefore requires reception of a suitable radio station. If a TMC receiver is connected and
TMC messages are being transmitted along with the radio station signal, your navigation
device will supply information about the reasons for a traffic disruption, the affected roads or
street, the affected section, and the extent of the disruption. You can take the reports into
account in your route calculation and avoid the traffic jam with ease. The Falk Navigator then
allows you to integrate this data into the navigation system and suggests an alternative route
where appropriate. TMC messages are not considered in route planning.
TMC Pro (optional)
: Unlike TMC, TMC Pro is based on automatic data sensors on
motorway overpasses, sensor strips integrated into the road surface, and sensors in vehicles
(floating car technology). Traffic jams and their development are recognised early on and can
be considered when calculating alternative routes.
Note:
TMCpro is an optional service and not preinstalled on all devices.
TMCpro is available to you for 90 days after the first GPS fix as a test version
(TMCpro
Starter
) and can then be purchased on the Internet in the Falk Online Shop at
http://shop.gofalk.com/falk/.
Please consult the details given on the product packaging for your navigation device.
You can use the TMC messages menu item to establish what types of TMC traffic messages
your Falk Navigator should consider during navigation, or to deactivate this function
completely.
Select one of the following options. The selected symbol is highlighted in white.
