mil + TP: Set up Traffic Program
If an RDS station transmits Traffic Program announce-
ments, it is possible to have CD, CDC and AM operation
interrupted so that the transmitted TP announcements
can be played. It is also possible to listen to one FM
station while receiving TP announcements from another
FM station.
There are two ways to select a TP transmitter:
• automatic tracking
• direct programming
Automatic Tracking
Automatic tracking always uses the current FM station
as TP transmitter. If the selected FM station has poor
signal quality or cannot function as a TP transmitter
the radio searches for a new TP transmitter. '
Radio Operation
Direct Programming
Direct programming makes it possible to have a TP
transmitter different from the current FM station. For
example, one FM station and TP announcements trans-
mitted by another FM station can be received simulta-
neously.
If an RDS station is equipped with traffic programming,
this is indicated by the TP icon in the display.
An inverted • icon on the display indicates that TP
is active.
Your radio plays traffic announcements as they are
broadcast from time-to-time from a TP radio station.
Without the
IIIicon appearing in the display, no traf-
fic announcements are available to you.
If reception from the programmed TP transmitter is
poor, the unit switches to automatic tracking until the
programmed TP transmitter can receive.
