Traffic Messages (ARI)
Many FM stations broadcast the current traf-
fic messages for their coverage area at regu-
lar intervals.
Together with the programme, the traffic sta-
tions transmit an “ARI signal”, which lets your
car radio detect the actual traffic station.
The traffic stations indicate the beginning
and the end of the message by an additional
signal. Traffic messages are “put through”
with a preset volume, the level of which can
be programmed (see chapter “Automatic Start
of the Station Seek Operation”). The set
automatically interrupts tape playback and
resumes play as soon as the message is
over.
Switching Traffic Messages
(ARI) On and Off
For switching ARI on and off
• Press the ARI button @.
If the traffic station is on, “ARI” lights
up on the display :.
You can only capture traffic stations which
transmit an ARI signal.
Acoustic Alarm
When leaving the coverage area of the tuned
in traffic station, your car radio automatically
sends out an acoustic alarm after approxima-
tely 30 seconds.
This alarm tone can also be heard when
pressing a preset button with no ARI station
allocated to it.
For switching off the acoustic alarm,
• search for a new station (see chapter
“Tuning in a Station Automatically”).
The set will then start searching for the
next traffic station.
Automatic Start of the Station
Seek Operation (Tape Playback)
When leaving the coverage area of the tuned
in traffic station, your car radio will automati-
cally start searching for a new traffic station
while you are listening to your tape.
