TA Function

The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements
automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. The TA function can be activated
for a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information).

Activating/Deactivating the TA Function

1. Tune in a TP station by pressing the

2/3 but-

ton.

The Car icon lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP sta-
tion.

2. Press the MENU button.

The main menu icons whirl down, with “Function”
highlighted in green.

3. Click the joystick.

The Tuner Function Menu appears.

4. Select “TA” by moving the joystick.

“TA” is highlighted in green.

5. Activate the TA function by clicking the joy-

stick.

Each click toggles TA On/Off.

6. Press the RETURN button.

You go back to the Center Room.

The “Traffic” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner
is waiting for traffic announcements.
Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic
announcement is being received to deactivate the TA
function.

Note:

• The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception.
• The TA function can be activated from sources other than tuner if the tuner was last set to the

FM band but not if it was last set to the AM band.

• In sources other than tuner, the tuner automatically seeks out the TP station with the strongest

signal in the current area 10 seconds after the Car icon disappears from the display. (During
seek operation, Car icon disappears.)

• Only TP stations are tuned in during the Seek Tuning mode when the “Traffic” indicator is

ON.

• Only TP stations are stored by BSM when the “Traffic” indicator is ON.
