The Local Link function lets you select other
local stations in the area, even though they are
not stored in your presets.

stored a local station.

local station is received.
Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station that is broadcasting
traffic announcements even though you are
listening to other programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) until “TA” or “AF TA” lights
up on the display.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. “TP” lights up on the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
“TA” flashes, then flashing stops when the
traffic announcement is over.
Tip
When the traffic announcement starts while you
are listening to another programme source, the
unit automatically switches to the announcement
and goes back to the original source when the
announcement is over.
Notes
• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received
station doesn’t broadcast traffic announcements.
Then, the unit starts searching for a station that
does broadcast traffic announcements.
• When the “EON” indication appears with “TP”
on the display, the current station makes use of
broadcast traffic announcements of other
stations in the same network.
To cancel the current traffic
announcement
Press (AF/TA) momentarily.
To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off
the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF”
disappears.
Presetting the volume of traffic
announcements
You can preset the volume level of the traffic
announcements beforehand, so you will not
miss the announcement. When a traffic
announcement starts, the volume will be
automatically adjusted to the preset level.
1
Select the desired volume level.
2
Press (3) while holding down (SEL).
“TA VOL” appears and the setting is
stored.
Receiving emergency
announcements
If an emergency announcement comes in while
you are listening to the radio, the programme
will be automatically switched to the
announcement. If you are listening to a source
other than the radio, the emergency
announcements will only be heard if you set
AF or TA to on. The unit will then
automatically switch to these announcements
no matter what you are listening to at the time. RDS
