Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON

The abbreviation "EON" stands for En-
hanced Other Networks, meaning the ex-
change of information within a radio network.
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messag-
es 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 previous
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.
