RDS Operation
To activate RDS, press the TA
button and hold for at least 2
seconds until RDS ON is
displayed.
To deactivate RDS, press the TA button
and hold until RDS OFF is displayed.
With the radio tuned to an RDS station
and RDS activated, the radio gathers RDS
information and displays the service
name/data.
If the radio is not tuned to an RDS station,
it will remain on that station and display
the frequency, and RDS will remain on in
readiness for a signal.
When listening to a national network
station, or a station that broadcasts on
more than one frequency, the radio will
re-tune to the strongest available signal
(AF Switching). This ‘network following’
will continue throughout the journey.
(Unselected presets will also receive new
frequency information, if appropriate.)
When RDS data is lost and no alternative
frequency signal is available, the radio will
stay on station, the display shows the
frequency only and RDS remains on in
readiness for the signal to recover.
If the RDS function does not respond
correctly, see ‘RDS Trouble-shooting
Guide’, page 45.
TA operation
To activate TA: Press the TA button
momentarily (less than 2 seconds).
TA will appear at the top of the display.
The radio then checks that the station has
RDS TP (Traffic Programme); indicated by
TP at the top of the display. If TP is not
available on the current station, the radio
will perform a TP SEEK while it searches
for a station.
If a TA station is not available, a beep is
sounded and TA is removed from the
display.
With TA activated, traffic announcements
will interrupt radio, tape or CD/MD play. If
set at a minimum, the volume will increase
for the announcement, returning to
normal setting afterwards. When
receiving, the display will show TRAFFIC.
To deactivate TA: Momentarily press TA.
Preset TA volume
When the radio is set to minimum volume
and a traffic announcement occurs, the
volume is raised to a preset level. This
level can be adjusted by pressing the
MENU button followed by touching the
VOLUME PRESET button on the
touch-screen. Once in the volume preset
screen, TA volume level can be adjusted
by repeatedly pressing the ‘+’ or
‘–’ buttons adjacent to the TA volume
indicator.
