Listening to traffic

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station is broadcasting traffic
announcements even though you are listening
to other programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA-ON”
or “AF.TA-ON” appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. “TP” appears in the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the
traffic announcement is over.
Tips
• If you press (AF/TA) while tuning in the traffic
announcement, the unit can play a CD.
• If 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
does not broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit
starts searching for a station that broadcasts traffic
announcements.

current station makes use of broadcast traffic

announcements will 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.
Presetting the RDS
stations with the AF and
TA data
When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores
each station’s data as well as its frequency, so
you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA

station. You can select a different setting (AF,
