TRAFFIC INFORMATION
CONTROL
Many stations that broadcast on the FM
waveband have a TP code to signify that
they carry traffic programme information.

Activating traffic announcements

Before you can receive traffic
announcements, you must press either the
TA or TRAFFIC button. A 'TA display will
appear to show the feature is switched on.
If you are already tuned to a station that
broadcasts traffic information, 'TP will
also be displayed. Otherwise the unit will
search for a traffic programme.
When traffic information is broadcast, it
will automatically interrupt normal radio
or CD playback and 'Traffic announcement
(TA) will appear in the display.
If a non-traffic station is selected or
recalled using a preset button, the audio
unit will remain on that station unless TA
or TRAFFIC is turned off, then on again.
Note: If TA is on and you select a preset or
manual tune to a non TA station no traffic
announcement will be heard.
Note: When you are listening to a non TA
station and turn TA off and on again a TP
seek will occur.

Traffic announcement volume

Traffic announcements interrupt normal
broadcasts at a preset minimum level that
is usually louder than normal listening
volumes.
To adjust the preset volume:
• Use the volume control to make the
necessary adjustment during an
incoming TA broadcast. The display
will show the level selected.
