type (P T
Y).
Not all units have RDS, nor do all FM stations
offer this service.
Without RDS it is not possible to obtain radio
data services. Note
● The broadcasting companies are responsi-
ble for the content broadcast.
● Due to matters of infrastructure, RDS func-
tions may be limited in certain countries, and
you may not be able to use traffic reports, au-
tomatic station tracking (AF) or programme
types (PTY).
● In some cases the name of the station is
too long. This text may be blocked/unblocked
by pressing on the station name for 3 sec-

Audio mode
Radio main menu and in the list of stations
by displaying TP ››› Fig. 11 and
›
›› Fig. 12.
Some stations that do not have their own
traffic news support the TP function by broad-
casting traffic reports from other stations
(EON).
The TP function is not available in certain
countries. In this case, “TP” will not appear
on screen and the button will be deactivated.
Switching the TP function on and off ● In the menu Setup (FM, AM), press the func-
tion button Traffic Program TP to activate  or
deactivate  this function ››› page 13.
If the station you are listening to at that time
does not have a TP function, the crossed-out
TP will be displayed halfway up the left of the
s c

reen.
Active TP function and station selection
While the traffic news monitoring is opera-
tive, in audio mode TP will be displayed half- way up the screen on the left ››› Fig. 11. In
this

case, the traffic reports of the current
station or of the station that broadcasts the
corresponding traffic information will be
played.
In
FM mode, the station tuned in must have
the TP function. If, after activating the TP
function, you manually select or use the stor-
ed station buttons to select a station that does not
have the TP function, it will not
check if there are traffic reports (display: TP
crossed out).
When the traffic report station that is tuned
in stops being received, TP will also be dis-
pl

ayed crossed out, and you must search for
a station manually.
During operation in
AM or Media mode, a
traffic report station is always set automati-
cally in the background, provided there is
one that can be tuned in. Depending on your
location, this process can take some time.
Reception of a traffic report An incoming traffic report will interrupt the
active audio mode.
During the broadcast of the traffic report a
pop-up window will appear and, if necessary,
the radio will change to the station of the traf-
fic report (EON) for the duration of the broad-
cast.
Media mode is interrupted and the volume is
adjusted according to the preset volume

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Observe the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
on the data medium at the locations referred
to by the playlist (relative file paths).
Note
● Do not use adaptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
files damaged or lost on the data medium. 15
