EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement
function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are listening to is not broadcasting a
traffic information program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic
announcement) mode, the radio will be switched automatically to a station
broadcasting a traffic information program in the EON AF list when traffic
information begins.
When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
Stations presets are erased.
Reception sensitivity
Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the con-
tinually changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength
and surrounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
When is used, automatic station selection and automatic regis-
tering of stations may not be possible.
The radio antenna is mounted on the rear roof. The antenna can be
removed from the base by turning it.
