Reception sensitivity

Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the continu-
ally changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and sur-
rounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.

The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio
reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the
antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.

Traffic announcement operation
When traffic announcement is set to on, "TP" will appear on the screen and the
radio will begin seeking a TP station. If the radio seeks out a TP station, the pro-
gram name will appear on the screen. If a traffic announcement station is
received, the radio will be switched to the traffic information program automati-
cally. When the program ends, the initial operation will resume.
