Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
EON stands for Enhanced Other Networks,
meaning the exchange of information within
a radio network.
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messa-
ges for their service area at regular
intervals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a
special carrier signal along with their pro-
grammes, which is decoded by your car ra-
dio. If this signal is identified, "TP" will ap-
pear in the display (Traffic Programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-
grammes themselves, but by using RDS-
EON they make it possible to receive the
traffic messages broadcast by another traf-
fic programme station in the same radio
network.
If you wish to have the priority for traffic an-
nouncements activated while listening to
one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), "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 (NDR3)
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 TA button.
If TA is pressed while a message is broad-
cast, this message will be interrupted.
The unit will then switch back to the pre-
vious condition. The priority for all
other traffic messages remains active.
Please note that several buttons have no
function while a traffic announcement
is broadcast.
Beep tone
If you leave the reception area of the traffic
programme station currently tuned into, you
will hear a beep tone approximately every
30 seconds.
This tone will also be released if a preset
button is pressed which has no traffic pro-
gramme allocated to it.
Switching off the beep tone
a) Tune into another station offering traf-
fic information:
•
Press the rocker switch
•
press a preset button which has a traf-
fic programme station allocated to it.
Alternatively:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-
nouncements:
•
Press TA.
"TA" will disappear from the display.
Automatic seek tuning start
(tape and CD changer operation)
When you leave the reception area of the
tuned in traffic programme station while lis-
tening to a tape or CD, the system will auto-
matically start searching for a new TA pro-
gramme.
If no such station is found within approxi-
mately 30 seconds, tape operation will be
stopped and a beep tone will sound. To
switch off the beep tone proceed as de-
scribed above.
