Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
The abbreviation "EON" stands for Enhan-
ced Other Networks, meaning the exchan-
ge of information within a radio network.
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messa-
ges for their service area at regular inter-
vals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a
special carrier signal alongside their pro-
grammes, which is decoded by your car ra-
dio. If this signal is identified, "TP" will ap-
pear in the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-
grammes themselves, but by using RDS-
EON they offer the possibility to receive the
traffic messages broadcast by another traf-
fic programme station in the same radio
network.
If you wish to have the priority for traffic an-
nouncements 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.
Traffic announcement priority
on/off
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 TA button.
When pressing TA while a message is being
broadcast, this message will be interrupted.
The unit will then switch back to the pre-
vious condition. 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 approximate-
ly 30 seconds.
This alarm tone will also be released when
pressing a preset button which has no traf-
fic programme allocated to it.
Switching the warning beep off
a) Tune into another station offering traf-
fic 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 dis-
play.
Automatic seek tuning start
(tape and CD changer operation)
When leaving the reception area of the
tuned in traffic programme station while
listening to a tape or CD, the system will
automatically start searching for a new TA
programme.
If no such station is found within approxi-
mately 30 seconds, tape or CD operation
will be stopped and a warning beep will
sound. To switch the warning beep off, pro-
ceed as described above.
