An Introduction to EON
EON (Enhanced Other Network information)
EON is a function that allows you to set the receiver to switch to a frequency automatically when a program featuring
traffic information or news is being broadcast. It cannot be used in areas that EON information is not transmitted and
when FM broadcast stations do not transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner returns to the original
frequency or function.
There are two types of EON you can set the tuner to:
1) TA (Traffic Announcement)
This mode will set the tuner to pick up traffic information when it is broadcast.
2) NEWS
This mode will set the tuner to pick up news when it is broadcast.
Setting EON allows automated reception of TA/NEWS broadcasts
When EON is turned on, the receiver will automatically jump to those EON-linked broadcasts. Even if a receiver
function other than the tuner is being used, the receiver function will switch to the FM station automatically when an
EON-linked Traffic Information or News program begins. When the program ends, the original function will be
restored. The EON function will not operate, however, when the tuner is on AM.
The Receiver’s Internal Program Identification Function
PI (Program Identification)
This is an identifying marker the tuner automatically attaches to stations stored in your preset memory classes (see
p.37). The marker distinguishes between stations which transmit RDS data and those that don’t, so that the receiver
knows which stations to look at when searching for RDS or EON transmissions. The code is not displayed on the
receiver and you don’t need to do anything in regards to setting the PI codes.
PI code registration and erasure
The receiver will automatically register a PI code for any station you input into the memory classes (see p.37) which
can receive RDS or EON data. If you want to have a station preset in your memory banks but DON’T want the
receiver to search this station for RDS information you can erase the PI code and then the receiver will ignore this
station when searching for RDS transmissions.
To erase PI codes, follow this procedure:
1. When tuned to the station whose PI code you want to erase press the EON button for two seconds or more.
ERASE PI
will be displayed.
2. Press the ENTER button within 5 seconds.
