While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a
special type of volume called TA volume. To increase TA
volume, turn the PWRNOL knob to the right. Turn it to
the left to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will appear on
the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement? it will return
to the original station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.

again to turn TA off.
