TA Function
The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements
automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. The TA function can be activated
for either a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an EON TP station (a
station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).
Activating/Deactivating the TA Function
1. Tune in a TP or EON TP station by moving
the small joystick left/right.
The Car icon lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP sta-
tion or an EON TP station.
2. Activate the TA function by pressing the TA
button.
The “Traffic” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner
is waiting for traffic announcements.
Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic
announcement is being received to deactivate the TA
function.
Note:
• You can also switch the TA Function ON/OFF in the Function Menu.
• The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception.
• The TA function can be activated from sources other than tuner if the tuner was last set to the
FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band.
• If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA function lets you operate other tuning func-
tions while listening to sources other than tuner.
• Only TP or EON TP stations are tuned in during the Seek Tuning mode when the “Traffic”
indicator is ON.
• Only TP or EON TP stations are stored by BSM when the “Traffic” indicator is ON.
