Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON

The abbreviation "EON" stands for En-
hanced Other Networks, which means that
information is exchanged within a radio net-
work.
Many FM radio stations provide their serv-
ice area with traffic messages at regular in-
tervals.
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-
gramme stations transmit a special carrier
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.
If this signal is identified, "TP" will appear in
the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible for them to forward the traffic
messages broadcast by another traffic
programme station in the same radio net-
work.
If you want to have the priority for traffic
announcements activated while listening to
one of these stations (e.g. NDR4), "TA" must
appear on the display panel.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic programme station (in this case,
NDR2) for the duration of the message and
return to the original programme (NDR4)
afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority
on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grammes is activated, "TA" will light up in
the display.
To switch the priority on or off:
• Press the AF·TA button. "TA" appears.
If you press AF·TA while a message is be-
ing broadcast, this message will be inter-
rupted. The unit will then switch back to the
previous mode. The priority for other traffic
messages remains active.
Please note that several buttons have no
function while a traffic announcement is
broadcast.

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the traffic
programme station currently tuned into, you
will hear a warning beep after approximate-
ly 30 seconds.
This alarm tone will also be emitted if you
press a preset button for a station which
does not send the traffic programme signal
(TP).

Switching the warning beep off

a) Tune into another station offering traf-
fic information:
• Press the rocker switch or
• press a preset button which has a
traffic programme station allocated
to it.
Alternatively:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-
nouncements:
• Press TA.
"TA" will disappear from the dis-
play.
Automatic seek tuning start
(Cassette and CD changer operation)
If you leave the reception area for the traffic
programme station you have tuned into
while you are listening to a cassette or CD,
the system will automatically start search-
ing for a new traffic programme.
If no such station is found within approxi-
mately 30 seconds, a warning beep will
sound every 30 seconds. To switch the
warning beep off, proceed as described
above.
