Traffic Information Receiving
This model is equipped with traffic information receiving apparatus to be used in
Germany where the traffic information is broadcast in FM. The following is how to use
this unit to receive traffic information broadcasting.
Ty
Z.
Select FM position.
Depress the SDK switch @ and tune to a station. If the station is a traffic information
station, the SK indicator @ will glow and show the reception of a broadcast from a
traffic information station.
NOTE: SK Indicator
When SK signal is received irrespective of the SDK switch position, the SK indicator
will illuminate.
In the SDK mode, stations other than traffic information stations are muted and cut
out. Therefore, it is easy to select a traffic information station.
As the signal of the tuned traffic information station becomes weak, the SK indicator
will extinguish. Then after the lapse of 25 seconds, a rhythmical alarm will sound or
another stronger station will be sought automatically depending on the mode selected.
lf the reception of further traffic information is required, tune in the desired traffic
information station. When received, the alarm will stop and the SK indicator
illuminates. Since the alarm will continue if no signals from any other traffic stations
can be received, release the SDK switch for reception of normal broadcasting.
When the unit is playing a tape or a CD with the SDK switch pushed in and tuned to a
traffic information station, the tape or CD play is interrupted and changed to FM radio
if the pre-tuned station begins a traffic information message. When the message is
over, the unit reverts to tape or CD play automatically.
If traffic information reception is no longer necessary, release the SDK switch for
normal radio reception.
NOTE:
When the SDK switch is pressed and there is no SK signal, ALARM will sound after the
lapse of 25 seconds. Press the SDK switch again to stop it.
