If the Compact Disc player is already work-
ing and at the same time you want to re-
ceive traffic information, briefly pressing
(less than 1 second) the “AF-TA” button
(1) the radio tunes to the last station heard
in the FM band, the TA traffic information
function is activated and the traffic messages
are transmitted. If the station selected does
not send traffic information, the search for
an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic informa-
tion message, briefly press (less than 1 sec-
ond) the “AF-TA” button (1) during trans-
mission of the message.
c)To receive traffic information while not
listening to the radio:
– turn on the TAfunction, briefly pressing
(less than 1 second) “AF-TA” button (1),
so that the display shows “TA”
– tune to a station enabled to transmit
traffic information so that the display
shows“TP” take the volume to zero keep-
ing the “VOL-” button pressed (19).
This way, if that station broadcasts traffic
information, this will be heard at a minimum
predefined volume. IMPORTANTIn certain countries radio
stations exist which, even if the TPfunction
is on (the display shows “TP”), do not
transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band
when the “AF-TA” button (1) is pressed,
it passes to the FM band on the last sta-
tion heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information (wording “TP”
not shown on the display), the search for
an enabled station starts automatically.
The volume with which the traffic bulletin
is transmitted varies depending on the lis-
tening volume:
– listening volume below 30: traffic bul-
letin volume = 20 (fixed value)
– listening volume above 30: traffic bul-
letin volume the same as the listening vol-
ume + 1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic
bulletin the value is not shown on the dis-
play and the new value is kept only for the
bulletin in progress.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn
on sound adjustment with the “AUD” but-
ton (18). The new values set are also kept
at the end of the bulletin.IMPORTANTIf the TAfunction is on
and the station tuned is not able to provide
traffic information or it is no longer able to
provide this information (the display will not
show “TP”), so after 1 minute in which the
radio is in these conditions:
– if listening to a Compact Disc another
station is sought that is enabled to trans-
mit traffic information
– if when listening to the radio a “beep”
is given to alert that it is not possible to re-
ceive traffic information; to interrupt it, it is
necessary to tune to a station that can pro-
vide traffic information or switch off the TA
function.
