Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
The abbreviation "EON" stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network. Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals. All traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal alongside their programmes, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, "TP" will appear in the display (Traffic Programme). In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic programmes themselves, but by using RDSEON they offer the possibility to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio network. If you wish to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), "TA" must appear on the display panel. If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement programmes is activated, "TA" will light up in the display. To switch the priority on or off: · Press the TA button. When pressing TA while a message is being broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous condition. The priority for all other traffic messages remains active. Please note that several buttons have no function while a traffic announcement is broadcast.

Switching off the beep tone a) Tune into another station offering traffic information: · · Press the rocker switch or press a preset button which has a traffic programme station allocated to it. Alternatively: b) Switch off the priority for traffic announcements: · Press TA. "TA" will disappear from the display.

Automatic seek tuning start
(tape and CD changer operation) When leaving the reception area of the tuned in traffic programme station while listening to a tape or CD, the system will automatically start searching for a new TA programme. If no such station is found within approximately 30 seconds, you will hear a warning beep every 30 seconds. To switch off the beep tone proceed as described above.

Beep tone
If you leave the reception area of the traffic programme station currently tuned into, you will hear a beep tone approximately every 30 seconds. This tone will also be released when pressing a preset button which has no traffic programme allocated to it.

Adjusting the volume for traffic announcements and the beep tone
This volume was preset at the factory, though you can alter the value using the DSC function (see "DSC programming, TA VOL"). If the volume level is altered while a message is being played, this will only affect the current announcement.

Care notes
To avoid possible problems, we recommend you to use C-60/C-90 type cassette tapes only. Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 50 °Celsius. Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. After approximately 100 hours of use, dust particles collected on the playback head or roller may lead to tape run problems and sound distortions. Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in alcohol. Do not attempt to clean by inserting a hard object into the player!
