Using the standby receptions
TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA)
from any source other than AM.
• The volume changes to the preset TA volume
level if the current level is lower than the
preset level (see page 40).
To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator either
lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs
when you are listening to an FM station
without the RDS signals required for TA
Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to
another station providing these signals. The
TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
