TA (Traffic Announcement)
Traffic announcements (TA) are a service provided by the broadcasting stati-
ons. Traffic information announcements are broadcast regularly. Stations that
broadcast traffic announcements also transmit a signal indicating that they do. If
this signal is detected by your TravelPilot, a TP symbol (TP = Traffic Program-
me) will appear in the status line of the main radio mode menu. If the TA function
is activated, a TA symbol will appear instead of TP.
Furthermore, the RDS-EON feature means you can receive traffic announce-
ments from stations that do not broadcast their own traffic announcements. In
this case, the unit switches to another station that broadcasts traffic information
for the duration of the traffic announcement. Once the traffic announcement is
over, you will be switched back to the radio station that you were listening to
before.
The volume is raised by a predefined fixed level whilst the traffic announcement
is being made. You can set a minimum volume for traffic announcements in the
setup menu.
If the TA function is activated for the audio sources (CD, CD changer and navi-
gation), playback will be interrupted when a traffic announcement arrives, and
the announcement will be heard. When the announcement is finished, playback
will resume.
If the TA function is active and you manually tune into a station that does not
support traffic announcements, you will hear a warning beep. If this is the case,
automatic TP seek tuning will be started by the system after the warning beep is
heard.
Activating / deactivating the TA function for radio mode
The TA function is activated / deactivated in the menu of the particular source. A
TA symbol in the status line indicates that the TA function is active and that a TP
station is being received. If the TA function is activated and no TP station is
being received, a TA symbol will appear enclosed in a dashed line border.
