Note:
If the selected station is not a traffic broadcast station, the device automatically starts to scan for the next traffic broadcast
station.
If “TA” is turned on, the CD, SD-MMC, USB and AUX-IN operation is interrupted for a traffic announcement and will be
continued afterwards. For the duration of the traffic alert, "TRAFFIC” will appear on the display. During AUX-IN operation,
the current track will not stop but continue playing. To stop the device connected via AUX-IN, please consult the manual of
the respective manufacturer of the device.
If you only want to hear traffic announcements, turn on the announcement function with the “TA” button and turn the
volume to “VOL 0” with the volume control dial. The device will automatically regulate a volume increase for traffic
announcements.
The TA volume can be individually adjusted under the volume item “TAVOL“.
13.6 Alternative frequencies (“AF”)
To activate the “AF” function, briefly press the “AF/REG” button . The message “AF” appears and the function is turned on.
To turn off the “AF” function, briefly press the “AF/REG” button . The message “AF” disappears and the function is deactivated.
Note:
The “AF” function is only displayed for broadcast stations that broadcast an “AF” signal. The “AF” message blinks when the
“AF” function is activated but no “AF” signal is available.
If an RDS (radio data system) station is being received that is broadcast by several broadcast stations with different
frequencies, the device automatically switches to the frequency that can be received most clearly. The “AF” function is
activated when the device is delivered.
In an area with bad reception, attempts to change between alternative frequencies can be heard as disruptive pauses. In
such an event, the “AF” function can be turned off.
Note:
Radio reception conditions
In the FM wave band, there can be changes in the reception conditions during the drive. Mountains, buildings or bridges can
diminish reception. This applies especially if the distance to the station is large.
Enhanced Other Networks (EON)
The EON function (see page 38) is an additional RDS service. If the current program doesn’t offer any traffic announcements,
EON automatically switches to the traffic announcements on another program. After the end of the announcement, the device
switches back to the previously heard station. The readiness for traffic announcements has to be activated for this.
