TA traffi c information

Some stations allow broadcasting,
only in FM, of these messages
thanks to the “
TA
” function.
You can activate the “
TA
” func-
tion by pressing on button

allows you, even though you are
listening to another audio source
or to a radio programme not itself
providing traffi c messages, to re-
ceive traffi c information fl ashes
from an FM station which broad-
casts them.
While the messages are being
broadcast the original source is
paused and when the messages
have ended your radio will auto-
matically revert to the music pro-
gramme you were listening to.
Notes :
- You have to be in FM wave
band.

indicate via the RDS system that it
broadcasts traffi c information
.

(EON) have regional transmitters
that send their own programmes:

these stations the system will
switch automatically to a station
on the network that is broadcast-
ing traffi c information.
- You can stop listening to a mes-
sage by pressing button
