Stereo Indicator Control; Traffic Information (Ta) Control; Activating Traffic Announcements - Ford 2050 Owner's Handbook Manual

Press and hold the waveband
button. On 2050 short press the
AST button.
The sound mutes and on some
units a beep is heard and an 'AST'
or 'AUTOSTORE' display appears
while the unit searches through
the frequencies.
When the search is complete,
sound is restored and the
strongest signals are stored on
the AutoStore presets.
Each time AutoStore is activated, the
unit will store station frequencies from
the waveband last selected and
replace stations previously stored.
Note: The AutoStore feature can
also be used to store stations
manually in the same way as other
wavebands.
STEREO INDICATOR
CONTROL
On all units except 2050
Where available this shows whenever
a stereo signal is being received on
the FM waveband. On some units it
may be displayed as 'ST'; on others
it will be the accredited stereo
symbol.
In poor signal conditions, the indicator
may flicker, or it may disappear
completely if the stereo signal is lost
altogether.
Audio unit operation
2050
The 2050 unit selects stero or mono
mode automatically according to
signal strength.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION
(TA) CONTROL
Many stations broadcast on the FM
waveband have a TP code to signify
that they carry traffic programme
information this may appear in your
radio display.
Activating traffic
announcements
Before you can receive traffic
announcements, you must press the
TA button. A 'TA' display will appear
to show the feature is switched on.
Note: On 2050 units a short press
to reach the TA feature.
If you are already tuned to a station
that broadcasts traffic information,
'TA' or 'TP' will also be displayed.
Otherwise the unit will search for a
traffic programme and display 'TA
SRCH' or 'TP SEEK' while doing so.
If it cannot locate such a station, 'Not
Found' or 'NO TA' will be displayed.
On some units 'TP' appears within a
box when you are tuned to a station
providing traffic from a linked
RDS-EON station.
When traffic information is broadcast,
it will automatically interrupt normal
radio, tape or CD playback and
'TRAFFIC' will appear in the display.
