Listening to traffic

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic

tune in an FM station that 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.
Tip
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.
• When "EON" appears with "TP" in the display, the
current station makes use of broadcast traffic
announcement 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 TA off" appears.
Presetting the volume of traffic
announcements
You can preset the volume level of the traffic
announcements beforehand so you won't miss
the announcement. When a traffic
announcement starts, the volume will be
automatically adjusted to the preset level.

Select the desired volume level.
2
Press (AF/TA) for two seconds.
A beep sounds 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 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.
