Tip When 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 doesn't broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that does broadcast traffic announcements. ⷠWhen the "EON" indication appears with "TP" on the display, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcements of other stations in the same network. When the (AF/TA) button is pressed during FM3 band reception, the band changes automatically to FM1. ⷠWhen there is no alternative station in the area, and you don't need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing (AF/TA) until "AF" disappears. Each time you press (AF/TA), the displayed items change as follows: z AF z TA z AF TA* Blank Z * Select this to turn on both AF and TA functions. If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Press (SEEK/AMS) while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data ("PI seek" appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, "NO PI" appears, and the unit returns to the originally selected frequency. To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off the function by pressing (AF/TA) until "AF" disappears. When you preset the RDS stations, the unit stores each station's data as well as its frequency, so you don't have to turn on the AF or TA function every time you tune in the preset station. You can select different setting (AF, TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or the same setting for all preset stations. You can preset the volume level of the traffic announcements beforehand, so you will not miss the announcement. When a traffic announcement starts, the volume will be automatically adjusted to the preset level. Press (AF/TA) repeatedly and select either "AF", "TA" or "AF TA" (for both AF and TA functions). Note that turning the "AF TA" function off stores RDS stations as well as non-RDS FM stations. 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 only 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.
