Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
This radio is equipped to receive the following wavebands: FM, MW and LW. In combination with the two FM tuners, the Radio Data System guarantees excellent reception quality and more convenience when listening to the radio. RDS functions such as station recognition, including a regional identifier, and the display of the station name have become standard features. Using PTY (programme type identification) you can select which type of programme, e.g. news, sports, light classical music, etc., you would like to listen to. However, the PTY signal is not yet broadcast by all radio stations. During FM operation, the station names in the reception table indicate which stations you can tune into. Stations which do not transmit an RDS signal are listed at the bottom of the table along with their frequencies. The display header indicates the current status. You can use the softkeys to select the corresponding stations directly. It is possible to store a preference table (memory table) for each of the wavebands. These tables will display the stations you have stored.
Switching to the radio mode
Press TU (tuner). The TU main menu will appear in the display (radio menu). The display will indicate the status selected last.

Traffic message reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation EON stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network. Many FM radio stations offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals. In addition to their programmes, all traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, TP (traffic programme) or TA (traffic announcement priority) will appear in the display. There are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic programmes themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio network. If you want traffic announcements to have priority while you are listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), TA must appear in the display panel. If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.
Switching traffic announcement priority on/off
If you are tuned into a traffic programme station, TA will light up in the upper right corner of the display if the traffic priority is activated or TP if it has been switched off. You can switch the priority on or off in the main radio menu. Depending on the situation, call up the main radio menu by pressing MENU , EXIT or TU. FM will be highlighted in the display. If TA is highlighted as well, the priority is switched on.

DEUTSCH ENGLISH FRANAIS ITALIANO NEDERLANDS ESPAOL CD - Betrieb (Option) PORTUGUS

This interrupts the priority for this message only. The set will then switch back to the previous mode of operation. The recording of this message in the TIM memory will only be interrupted if the message was switched through by EON. The priority for other traffic messages will remain active. If you press TA OFF you will switch off the priority status for traffic messages.

Warning beep

Situation: The priority for traffic messages is activated, TA is lit up in the display. If you select a radio station which does not broadcast traffic announcements or leave the reception area of the traffic programme station you are currently tuned into, TA will disappear from the display and you will hear a warning beep approximately every 30 seconds. This beep indicates that not all of the traffic message functions are activated. Switching the warning beep off Tune into another station which broadcasts traffic information or switch off the priority for traffic announcements in the main radio menu by pressing TA.

Please keep in mind that you travel a distance of 14 m per second at a speed of only 50 km/h. Should the traffic situation become particularly demanding, we advise you not to use the car radio equipment. Always make sure that you are still able to hear any warning signals coming from outside of the vehicle, such as police or fire engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly. As a result, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car radio equipment while you are driving.

Traffic message reception with RDS-EON
The abbreviation EON stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network. Many FM radio stations offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals. In addition to their programmes, all traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, TP (traffic programme) or TA (traffic announcement priority) will appear in the display. There are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic programmes themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio network. If you want traffic announcements to have priority while you are listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), TA must appear in the display panel. If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.
Switching traffic announcement priority on/off
If you are tuned into a traffic programme station, TA will light up in the upper right corner of the display if the traffic priority is activated or TP if it has been switched off. You can switch the priority on or off in the main radio menu. Depending on the situation, call up the main radio menu by pressing MENU , EXIT or TU. FM will be highlighted in the display. If TA is highlighted as well, the priority is switched on.

This set is equipped with a digital speech memory which can automatically record up to four traffic messages lasting a maximum of four minutes. As soon as TP appears in the display, the system will record all incoming traffic messages broadcast by the station when the radio is switched on. If the priority for traffic announcements is activated (TA shown in the display panel), the set will also record the messages broadcast by the traffic station of the same programme network (see also Traffic message reception with RDSEON). If TIM ACTIVE appears briefly in the display when the radio is switched off, the TIM standby mode is active. In this case the radio will record the traffic information broadcast for 90 minutes before and after the programmed TIM times even if it is switched off. The radio will also record the traffic messages broadcast by the last station it was tuned into for three hours after the set has been switched off. Depending on the length of the new message, the oldest messages will be deleted automatically. If a message is longer than four minutes, OVERFLOW will appear in the display header for 2 seconds after you have activated TIM to indicate that the system was unable to record the message in full.
