Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU-801 only
The HU-801 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from
broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is
then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique features.
The RDS or
Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied
exclusively by participating broadcasters.
Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or
information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation of
these functions.
Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its
way to North America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the
technology and benefits grow, you will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of
this system.
Traffic information (TP) - HU-801 only
This feature may not be apply in your area and only functions with FM broadcasts.
Push the "TP" button for traffic information from RDS stations. "TP" is displayed when the function
is connected.
When the unit is in Cassette or CD mode, the FM radio function will seek in the background for a
station with a strong signal broadcasting traffic information. If a cassette or CD are playing when the
radio receives a traffic bulletin, that function is interrupted and the bulletin is broadcast with the
volume pre-selected for traffic information.
When the bulletin is finished the unit immediately returns to the previously set volume and continues
playing the cassette or CD.
Traffic information can only be heard when
"TP"
is displayed.
If only TP is displayed, this indicates that no traffic information is being received at the time.
If you do not wish to listen to an ongoing traffic bulletin, press the "TP" button. The TP function
will remain active and the radio will continue to monitor traffic information.
To turn the TP function off, press the
TP
button. TP is no longer shown in the display.
