Traffic announcement standby 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 activat-
ed for either a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced
other network’s TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP sta-
tions).
Activating/deactivating the TA function
1. Tune in a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.
The TP indicator “TRAFFIC” lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP station or an enhanced
other network’s TP station.
2. Activate the TA function.
The “
3
TRAFFIC” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner is waiting for traffic
announcements.
Note:
• If you switched TA function ON when you are tuned in to neither a TP nor enhanced other net-
work’s TP station, only “T” in “TRAFFIC” indicator is displayed.
Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic announcement is being received to deacti-
vate the TA function.
Note:
• 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 functions
while listening to sources other than tuner.
• Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are tuned in during the seek tuning mode when
the “
3
TRAFFIC” or “T” indicator is ON.
• Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are stored by BSM when the “
3
TRAFFIC” or
“T” indicator is ON.
