During CD or CDC operation, the set willalso switch to the programme offering theselected PTY within the broadcasting net-work.After the PTY programme the system willremain in the radio mode.

Notice:As earlier mentioned, these functions arecurrently only supported by a limited numberof RDS stations.

Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON

The abbreviation “EON” stands for En-hanced Other Networks, meaning theexchange of information within a radio net-work.Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messag-es for their service area at regular intervals.All traffic programme stations transmit aspecial carrier signal alongside 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 stationswhich do not actually transmit traffic pro-grammes themselves, but by using RDS-EON they offer the possibility to receive thetraffic messages broadcast by another traf-fic programme station in the same radionetwork.If you wish to have the priority for traffic an-nouncements activated while listening toone of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA” mustappear on the display panel.If a traffic announcement is broadcast, theradio will automatically switch to the linkedtraffic programme station (in this case,NDR2) for the duration of the message andreturn to the original programme (NDR3)afterwards.

Traffic announcement priorityon/off

If the priority for traffic announcement pro-grammes is activated, “TA” will light up inthe display.To switch the priority on or off:• Press the TA button.When pressing TA while a message is be-ing broadcast, this message will be interrup-ted. The unit will then switch back to the pre-vious condition. The priority for other trafficmessages remains active.Please note that several buttons have nofunction while a traffic announcement isbroadcast.

Warning beep

If you leave the reception area of the trafficprogramme station currently tuned into, youwill hear a warning beep after approximate-ly 30 seconds.This alarm tone will also be released whenpressing a preset button which has no traf-fic programme allocated to it.

46

Adjusting the volume for trafficannouncements and the warningbeep

This volume was preset at the factory,though you can alter the value using theDSC function (see “DSC programming,TA VOL”).

Adjusting GEO for traffic mes-sages and the warning beep

You can separately adjust the balance andfader settings for both traffic announcementsand the warning beep.For example, it is possible to listen to trafficreports via the front left (right) speaker only.This provides the driver with the importanttraffic information without bothering the rearpassengers too much.

To make a setting:• During an announcement, adjust the

balance and fader settings to suit yourpersonal preferences.

Switching the warning beep off

a) Tune into another station offering traf-fic information:

• Press the rocker switch or

• press a preset button which has atraffic programme station allocatedto it.

Alternatively:b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-

nouncements:

• Press TA.“TA” will disappear from the dis-play.

Automatic seek tuning start(CD and CDC operation)

When leaving the reception area of the tunedin traffic programme station while listeningto a CD, the system will automatically startsearching for a new TA programme.If no such station is found within approxi-mately 30 seconds, CD operation will bestopped and a warning beep will sound. Toswitch the warning beep off, proceed asdescribed above.
