previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks
function still remains activated.

announcement

flashing.

When the program is over, the unit goes back to the
previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks
function still remains activated.
CASE 3
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting a
traffic announcement
The unit continues to receive the station but the TA
indicator starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, the TA indicator stops flashing,

activated.
