station broadcasting RDS information, the station's
call letters and Program Type (PTY) will replace the

One network can have stations spread across a country
or continent. Each network breaks down into regions.With regions, local news items like weather and traffic
are available to you. When the region function is on,

on the display if the tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related to
the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to
a station which does. When the radio finds a station
which broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop.
If no station is found, NONE FOUND will appear on
the display and the TA icon will turn off. When SEEK
or SCAN is pressed with the traffic announcement
function on, the radio will only stop at stations which
broadcast traffic announcements.

special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise.

When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will
return to the original station when the announcement is
