Displaying the frequency of an
RDS station

of an RDS station from the display, press the
UM button 7 until the frequency is
displayed. The radio will return to the station
name after approximately 5 seconds.
Regional programmes
Certain RDS radio programmes are split up
at times into regional programmes offering
local information. If you are listening to one
programme and move to an area where
another linked regional programme
becomes stronger, the unit will switch to that
programme. If you wish to continue listening
to the first station, switch on the regional
function:
Store the station on a preset button. Then
press the preset button for approximately 5
seconds until „REG-ON" appears in the
display.
To switch off the function:
Press the corresponding preset button for
approximately 5 seconds until the display
shows „REG-OFF".
When turning the unit on, the display will
briefly show „REG-ON", if activated. „REG-
OFF" will not be displayed.
Traffic Programmes
(TP = Traffic Programmes)
TP stations are FM RDS stations offering
traffic information. If such a station is tuned
in, "TP" will appear in the display.
Switching on TP
The unit will only receive TP stations.
Press the UM button 7 to select FM. Then
press the TP button ;, "[TP]" will appear in
the display. The display will show "[ ]"
during the seek tuning process or if a TP
station cannot be received.
When TP is active, traffic reports will
interrupt tape operation.
TP can also be switched on during tape
operation. In this case the programme name
of the currently selected station will be
shown in the display for 5 seconds.
If a station not providing traffic information
was tuned in before or selected with a
preset button, memory seek tuning will
automatically start in order to tune into the
strongest traffic programme station.
As long as the selected station remains
tuned in, the system will not switch to
automatic TP seek tuning even if the
reception gets worse.
While TP is active, when pressing the AS
button 9 (AS = automatic storing of
stations, see page 20) until a beep is
released, the system will switch to a preset
position with a traffic station as soon as the
storing process has been completed.
If the TP function is switched on, seek
tuning will remain active until at least one TP
station has been found.
If TP is active or if it is switched on while
listening to a tape, the set will automatically
start searching for the strongest traffic
programme station as soon as the reception
area of the tuned in station is left.
Switching off TP
Press the TP button again. "[ ]" disappears
from the display.
While a traffic message is being played,
press the TP button twice to switch off the
function.
When storing stations on the preset buttons,
"TP on" or "TP off" will not be stored as well.

The traffic announcement volume can be
separately adjusted in addition to the normal
playback volume.
Adjustment:
Press the TP button ; for more than 3
seconds. The TA volume level will be
