Traffic program station reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation "EON" stands for En-
hanced Other Networks which means that
information is exchanged between the ra-
dio stations belonging to the same broad-
casting network.
Many FM broadcasters provide traffic mes-
sages for their service area at regular inter-
vals.
All traffic program stations transmit a spe-
cial carrier signal along with their programs,
which is decoded by your car radio. If this
signal is identified, "TP" will appear in the
display (Traffic Program).
In addition to these, there are also stations
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-
grams themselves, but by using RDS-EON
it is possible to receive the traffic messages
broadcast by another traffic program 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. NDR 3), "TA"
must appear in the display.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic program station (in this case, NDR 2)
for the duration of the message and return
to the original program (NDR 3) afterwards.
Switch traffic announcement
priority on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement pro-
grams is activated, "TA" will light up in the
display.
To switch the priority on or off:
•
Press TA.
If you press TA while a message is being
broadcast, the message will be interrupted
for all operating modes for the duration of
this message only.
The unit will then switch back to its previous
status. The priority for all other traffic mes-
sages will remain active.
Please note that several buttons have no
function during traffic announcements.
Adjust the volume for traffic announce-
ments and the beep tone
Although this volume was preset at the fac-
tory, you can alter it using the DSC function
(see "Programming with DSC – TA VOL-
UME").
Beep tone
When a traffic program station is activated
("TA" in the display), you will hear a warn-
ing beep approx. 30 seconds after you leave
the reception area of the traffic program sta-
tion you are currently tuned into.
