There will be a brief status message in the
top line of the display:
- TIM 2h = TIM is switched on
- TIM off = the function has been switched
off.
If TIM is switched on, any traffic messages
broadcast by the traffic radio station you
have selected will be recorded for 2 hours
after the set has been switched off.
Recording traffic messages
When the audio system is switched on and
you are tuned into a traffic information sta-
tion, any traffic messages broadcast will be
recorded automatically.
When you are tuned into a traffic informa-
tion station, either “TP” or “TA” will appear
under the top line in the display.
TP - The audio system receives traffic mes-
sages broadcast by the station you are
tuned into.
TA - The traffic messages broadcast by the
traffic information station in the broad-
casting network will be recorded.
The station you are tuned into does
not have to be a traffic information sta-
tion (as described for traffic message
reception with RDS-EON).
When the audio system is switched off, it
will still record any traffic messages it re-
ceives for 2 hours if TIM is switched on and
you have tuned into a traffic information sta-
tion.
If you are listening to a station which does
not broadcast traffic messages and switch
the audio system off with TIM switched on,
the system will automatically search for a
traffic information station. “TP seek” will ap-
pear in the DOT display to indicate this proc-
ess. As soon as a station is found, the fre-
quency will appear briefly in the display and
the system will switch off.
Altering the TIM standby time
You can alter the TIM standby time for the
audio system when it is switched off from 2
to 24 hours.
If the TIM function is switched on, “TIM 2h”
will always appear in the top line of the dis-
play when you switch the audio system off.
If you would like to alter the TIM time to 24
hours,
•
press TIM briefly.
“TIM 24h” will appear in the top line.
The TIM standby time is set to a maximum
of 24 hours.
The power antenna remains extended dur-
ing the standby time.
To prevent the car battery from running
down, the TIM standby time will automati-
cally revert to 2 hours every time the audio
system is switched back on.
Traffic Memo (TIM)
This set is equipped with a digital voice
memory, making it possible to automatical-
ly record up to four traffic messages lasting
a maximum of four minutes.
Depending on the length of the new mes-
sage, the oldest messages are automatically
deleted.
If a message is longer than four minutes,
“Overflow” will be displayed after four min-
utes of playback, followed by a beep tone
indicating that the system was unable to
record the message in full.
If a new traffic message is broadcast while
you are listening to the messages, the play-
back will be interrupted and the new mes-
sage will be recorded.
When the set is switched on, any messag-
es that are older than 4 hours will be delet-
ed automatically.
A power antenna might be dam-
aged in a car wash
If you have installed a power antenna, then
please read the warning note at the end of
this section.
Switching TIM on/off
When the set is switched on, you can switch
TIM on or off. To do so,
•
press TIM for approx. 1 sec.
