Ending Traffic Announcements
The audio unit will return to normal
operation at the end of each traffic
announcement. To end the announcement
prematurely, press TA or TRAFFIC during
the announcement.
Note: If you press TA or TRAFFIC at any
other time it will switch all announcements
off.
News Broadcasts
Your audio unit may interrupt normal
reception to broadcast news bulletins from
stations on the FM waveband, radio data
system or other enhanced network linked
stations.
The display will indicate there is an
incoming announcement, during news
broadcasts. When the audio unit interrupts
for a news broadcast the preset volume
level will be the same as traffic
announcements.
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Scroll to NEWS and turn on or off with
the up and down arrow buttons.
3. Press the OK button to return.
Alternative Frequencies
The majority of programs that broadcast
on the FM waveband have a program
identification code, it can be recognised by
audio units.
When your vehicle moves from one
transmission area to another with the
alternative frequencies tuning switched
on, this function will search for the
strongest station signal.
Under certain conditions, however,
alternative frequencies tuning may
temporarily disrupt normal reception.

Audio System
When selected, the unit continually
evaluates signal strength and, if a better
signal becomes available, the unit will
switch to that alternative. It mutes while
it checks a list of alternative frequencies
and if necessary, it will search once across
the selected waveband for a genuine
alternative frequency.
It will restore radio reception when it finds
one or if one is not found, the unit will
return to the original stored frequency.
When selected, AF will be shown in the
display.
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Scroll to ALTERNAT FREQ. or
ALTERNATIVE FREQ. and turn on or
off with the up and down arrow
buttons.
3. Press the OK button to return.
Regional Mode
Regional mode controls the behaviour of
alternative frequencies switching between
regionally related networks of a parent
broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a fairly
large network across a large part of the
country. At various times of the day this
large network may be broken down into a
number of smaller regional networks,
typically centred on major towns or cities.
When the network is not split into regional
variants, the whole network caries the
same programming.
Regional mode on: This prevents random
alternative frequency switches when
neighbouring regional networks are not
carrying the same programming.
Regional mode off: This allows a larger
coverage area if neighbouring regional
networks are carrying the same
programming, but can cause random
alternative frequency switches if they are
not.
1. Press the MENU button.
