Receiving traffic
announcements
— TA/TP
By activating the Traffic Announcement (TA)
and Traffic Programme (TP), you can
automatically tune in an FM station broadcasting
traffic announcements. These settings function
regardless of the current FM programme/source
(e.g., CD/MD/AUX). The unit switches back to
the original source when the bulletin is over.
Press (TA) repeatedly until “TA on”
appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations.
“TP” indicates reception of such stations, and
“TA” flashes during an actual traffic
announcement. The unit will continue
searching for stations available with TP if
“NO TP” is indicated.
To cancel all traffic announcements, select
“TA
off.”

each station’s AF/TA setting (on/off) as well as

(for AF, TA, or both) for individual preset
