Symphony - Traffic & News Information
INFORMATION BROADCASTS
On the FM waveband, the RDS facility enables your radio to
receive traffic and news information broadcasts from local radio
stations that are linked to the same network as the station to which
it is tuned.
Traffic and news information broadcasts can be
selected by pressing the information button.
Once selected any available traffic and news information broadcasts
are then received automatically as and when they occur (even if
you are listening to cassette tapes or CDs).
Selecting traffic information
BRIEFLY press the information button - the ‘TRAFFIC’
indicator illuminates in the display.
During traffic announcements the display slowly flashes
‘TRAFFIC INFO’.
If the radio is tuned to an FM radio station that does not provide
traffic information, the message ‘NO TRAFFIC’ is displayed.
If the radio is tuned to an FM signal that is too weak to provide
traffic information, the message ‘STATION SEEK’ is displayed
while the radio searches the waveband and tunes to a signal that is
strong enough to broadcast traffic information.
In remote areas, it may be impossible to find a traffic information
station. The radio will search the waveband twice; if a station
cannot be found, the radio switches off traffic and returns to the
station to which it was previously tuned.
NOTE: When traffic information is switched on, occasional, and very
brief, muting of the radio may occur while the set searches for traffic
broadcasts. For this reason, it is recommended that traffic information is
switched off when not needed.
Selecting news information
Press and hold the information button until a bleep sounds - the
‘NEWS’ indicator illuminates in the display.
During news broadcasts the display flashes ‘NEWS’ alternately
with the name of the radio station providing the news information.
NOTE: Both traffic and news information can be selected at the same
time. However, the radio gives priority to which ever broadcast commenced
first - one information source cannot interrupt another!
