Receiving traffic
announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re-
ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other networks TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references
TP stations).

Tune in a TP or enhanced other net-
works TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced
other networks TP station the TP indicator will
light.
2
Press TA to turn traffic announcement
standby on.
Press TA and TA ON appears in the display.
The tuner will standby for traffic announce-
ments.
# To turn traffic announcements standby off,
press TA again.
3
Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume
when a traffic announcement begins.
Rotate to increase or decrease the volume.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4
Press TA while a traffic announcement
is being received to cancel the announce-
ment.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in the standby mode until TA is pressed
again.
# You can also cancel the announcement by
pressing SOURCE, BAND or ROTARY ENCODER
while a traffic announcement is being received.
