Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON
Many FM broadcasters provide their service
area with traffic messages at regular inter-
vals.
All traffic program stations transmit a special
telegram signal in addition to the radio pro-
gram, which is recognised and decoded by
the car radio. As soon as such a signal is
received, the display shows "TP" (Traffic
Program).
Other radio stations do not air traffic an-
nouncements by themselves, but offer the
possibility to receive the traffic announce-
ments of another station within the same
radio network. In this case, "TP" will light up
in the display as soon as the priority for traffic
announcements is activated. The display
must then show "TA".
If a traffic announcement comes in, your
radio will automatically switch to the traffic
program for the duration of the message and
return to the previous station after the end of
the message.
Priority of traffic announcements
ON/OFF
If the priority of traffic announcements is
activated, "TA" lights up in the display. To
switch the function on/off:
•
Press the TA.
Warning beep
Whenever you leave the reception area of
the traffic program station you have tuned
into, you will hear a warning beep after appro-
ximately 30 seconds.
This warning beep will also be released when
pressing a preset without a traffic program.
Switching the warning beep off
a) Tune to another traffic program station:
•
Press the rocker switch, or
•
press a preset button with a station
offering traffic information.
Alternative:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-
nouncements:

Automatic seek tuning start
Prerequisite:
Priority for traffic announcements is activa-
ted.
If you leave the reception area of your traffic
program while listening to a tape or disc or
when having turned down the volume com-
pletely, the car radio will automatically tune
into another traffic program station.
If no such traffic program station is found
within approximately 30 seconds, tape or
disc reproduction will be interrupted and the
system will send out a warning beep. To
switch off the warning beep, proceed as
described above.
Adjusting the traffic message
volume
The volume of the warning beep and of the
currently played traffic message has been
pre-adjusted at the factory. However, you
can change this default setting using the
DSC function (see "DSC programing - TA
LEVEL").
