REGION: You can also use the RDS button to access
the region function. When an RDS station becomes

the same network. A network can span a great distance.
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,
the radio only searches for stations in the same network
and region. You can only use the region function when

the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to astation 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.
While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a
special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise.

TA VOLUME will appear on the display while the
volume is being adjusted.
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
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
