Traffic announcement priority

If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grammes is activated, "TA" will light up in
the display.
To switch the priority on or off:
•
Press the AF·TA button.
If you press AF·TA while a message is
being broadcast, this message will be in-
terrupted.

vious mode. The priority for other traffic
messages remains active.
Please note that several buttons have no
function while a traffic announcement is
broadcast.
Warning beep
If you leave the reception area of the traffic
programme station currently tuned into, you
will hear a warning beep after approx. 30
seconds.
This warning will also be emitted if you
press a preset button for a station which
does not send the traffic programme signal
(TP).
Switching the warning beep off
a) Tune into another station offering traffic
information:
•
Press the rocker switch or
•
press a preset button which has a traffic
programme station allocated to it.
Alternatively:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-
nouncements:
•
Press TA.
"TA" will disappear from the display.
Automatic seek tuning start
(Cassette and CD changer mode)
If you leave the reception area for the traf-
fic programme station you have tuned into
while you are listening to a cassette or CD,
the system will automatically start searching
for a new traffic programme.
If no such station is found within approx.
30 seconds, a warning beep will sound eve-
ry 30 seconds. To switch the warning beep
off, press TA button.
Adjusting the volume for traffic
announcements and the
warning beep
Although this volume was preset at the fac-
tory, you can use the DSC function to alter
the setting (see "DSC programming - TA
VOL").
Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation "EON" stands for Enhan-
ced Other Networks, which means that in-
formation is exchanged within a radio net-
work.
Many FM radio stations provide their ser-
vice area with traffic messages at regular
intervals.
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-
gramme stations transmit a special carrier
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.
If this signal is identified, "TP" will appear
in the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible for them to forward the traffic
messages broadcast by another traffic pro-
gramme station in the same radio network.
If you want to have the priority for traffic
announcements activated while listening to
one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), "TA"
must appear on the display panel.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic programme station (in this case,
NDR2) for the duration of the message and
return to the original programme (NDR3)
afterwards.
