MAIN RDS FEATURES
• With RDS switched on the following features
may be accessed:
Traffic information
Press the TA button to switch this function on
or off. With the function switched on 'TA-L' or
'TA-D' appear in the display.
• 'TP' is displayed if a traffic station is selected.
• When it is broadcast, traffic information
automatically interrupts normal radio, tape
or CD playback and 'TRAFFIC' appears in
the display. Traffic interrupts at a preset
minimum level, unless a higher volume has
been previously selected for normal listening.
• If the unit is not tuned to a station
transmitting traffic information when TA
is pressed, it will search for one and display
'TP SEEK' while doing so. If nothing is
found, 'Not found' is displayed.
• If a traffic station signal weakens, 'TP' will
flash in the display. Press to find another
station. If this happens during radio, tape or
CD playback, or with the radio volume set to
zero, the unit will retune automatically to
another traffic station.
• If a non traffic station is selected or recalled
using a preset button, the audio unit will
remain on that station unless TA is turned
off, then on again.
