threshold  point.  But  the  user  changed 
the volume level, which was more than 
the threshold point (min. TA volume   
level), it will be set to the last level. 
When  TA  mode  is  on,  TA  of  individual 
segment is turned on. 
When  a  TP  station  is  received,  TP  of 
individual segment is turned on. 
TA interruption function 
The  current  traffic  announcement  is 
cancelled by pressing this key. 
But the TA mode will not be off. 

When TA button (22) is pressed long, it 
is selected EON TA LOCAL/EON TA   

DISTANCE mode. 
The  purpose  of  this  key  is  to  reduce 
unwanted  EON  TA  switching,  which 
EON TA  information  was  received from 
current station and the radio switched to 
that  EON  linked  station,  but  no 
information  could  not  be  received 
because  the  EON  linked  station  is 
located  too  far  from  that  area.  So  the 
radio is switched back to current station 
again.  In  above  operation,  a  customer 
listens  to  a  wrong  program  or  mute 
sound for a while. 

EON TA LOCAL mode 
When  the  filed  strength  level  of  EON 
linked  is  less  than  threshold  level,  the 
radio does not switch that station, and a 
customer  can  hardly  listen  to  any 
disturbances. 
When EON TA LOCAL mode is selected, 
“EON  TA  LO”  on  numeric  display  is 
indicated for a few seconds. 

EON TA DISTANCE mode 
EON  TA  switch  is  tried  to  implemented 
by the information of current station. 
When  EON  TA  DISTANCE  mode  is 
selected,  “EON  TA  DX”  on  numeric 
display is indicated for a few seconds.   

The RDS data used are the PI, PS, AF,
