Receiving traffic announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re-

matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an-
other enhanced network's TP station (a station
carrying information that cross-references TP
stations).

volume when a traffic announcement be-
gins.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4 Touch [Cancel] while a traffic announce-
ment is being received to cancel the an-
nouncement.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in standby mode until [TA] is touched
again.
You can also cancel the announcement by
changing the source or band.
p The system switches back to the original
source following traffic announcement re-
ception.
p Only TP stations and other enhanced net-
works' TP stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or BSM when the TA function is on.
