TRAFFIC INFORMATION
On the FM waveband, the radio is able
to identify stations that broadcast traffic
information on the RDS network.
The ’TP’ (traffic programme) indicator
illuminates in the display when the radio
is tuned to an FM station that broadcasts
traffic information and the function is
switched on.
A ’T’ indicator illuminates in the main
display when the traffic programme is
not switched on, but the selected
transmitter does broadcast traffic reports.
Four short beeps are sounded if you
leave the reception range for the
currently selected station. A search then
automatically takes place to find an
alternative station with traffic reports. The
display flashes ’SEARCH’ while the radio
tunes to another ’TP’ station.
When a station is selected that does not
transmit traffic reports while ’TP’ is active,
four short beeps are sounded, the radio
mutes and a search to find a station
transmitting traffic reports is
automatically conducted. The station
which does not transmit traffic reports
can be re-selected by turning off the ’TP’
function and re-selecting the pre-set
button.
A warning signal is issued if no suitable
RDS transmitter has been found.
Selecting traffic programme
Select the FM waveband and press the
right hand side of the switch beneath the
traffic programme (TP) display to turn the
function on. When TP is on, an asterisk is
displayed before the TP legend in the
display.
If the radio is already tuned to a station
that broadcasts traffic information, the
’TP’ indicator in the main display also
illuminates. Traffic information
automatically broadcasts as and when it
occurs (provided you are listening to
compact discs or the FM wavebands!).
If the radio is NOT already tuned to a
station that broadcasts traffic
information, the radio issues four short
beeps, then mutes and searches for a
station that does. The display will flash
’SEARCH’ during the re-tuning process.
NOTE: When the traffic programme
mode is active, automatic tuning only
searches for radio stations that
broadcast traffic information.
