Receiving traffic announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you
receive traffic announcements automatically,
no matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a station
that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other network’s TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references TP
stations).
1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other network’s
TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other
network’ s TP station the TP indicator will light.
2 Press TA/AF to turn traffic announcement
standby on.
Press TA/AF and the TA indicator appears in the
display. The tuner will standby for traffic
announcements.
• To turn traffic announcements standby off,
press TA/AF again.
3Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when
a traffic announcement begins.
When you press VOLUME up/+, the volume is
raised and when pressed down/–, the volume is
lowered.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.
4 Press TA/AF while a traffic announcement
is being received to cancel the
announcement.
The tuner returns to the original source but
remains in the standby mode until TA/AF is
pressed again.
Notes
• The system switches back to the original
source following traffic announcement recep-
tion.
• TA can be activated from sources other than
the tuner if the tuner was last set to the FM
band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW
band.
• If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on TA
lets you operate other tuning functions while
listening to sources other than the tuner.
• Only TP and enhanced other network’s TP
stations are tuned in during seek tuning or
BSM when TA is on.
Responding to the TP alarm
When a TP or enhanced other network’s TP
station is lost due to a weak signal the TP indi-
cator is extinguished and a series of short
beeps, about five seconds long, sound to
remind you to select another TP or enhanced
other network‘s TP station.
When listening to the tuner, tune in another
TP or enhanced other network’s
TP station.
• When listening to sources other than the
tuner the unit will automatically seek out a TP
station with the strongest signal after a 10- or
30-second delay. The delay is 10 seconds if TA is
on and 30 seconds if TA and AF are on.
