Point a)

NOTE Below are the instructions for carrying out each of the operations illustrated in points a), b) and c) mentioned previously.

Point a)

To select a transmitter with a traffic news service, press the TP button (1) briefly. The message "TP" will appear on the display. If the transmitter is not enabled to provide traffic news, the radio will automatically tune into the nearest enabled transmitter and broadcast it.

Several transmitters, providing a traffic news service, can be programmed using the station selection buttons. Follow the instructions in the "Tuning into and programming a transmitter" paragraph, pressing the TP button at the beginning to activate the TP function.

As an alternative to the manual programming, it is possible to follow the instructions in the "Automatic transmitter programming (AUTOSTORE)" paragraph, pressing the TP button at the beginning to activate the TP function.

Point b)

If you wish to receive traffic news, before inserting the audio cassette or Compact Disc, tune into an RDS TP transmitter. If, whilst listening to a cassette or a Compact Disc, there is a traffic news flash, the reproduction of the tape or the Compact Disc will be temporarily halted and then resumed automatically afterwards.

Point c)

It is possible to receive traffic news even when not listening to the radio. After having tuned into an RDS TP transmitter and set the volume level at zero, if this transmitter broadcasts traffic news, it can be heard at a pre-set low volume.

In some countries there are radio stations which, even though the TP function is activated, do not transmit traffic news.

Setting TP function volume level (Traffic Program)

To select the volume for the traffic news, press the EXP button (1) until the message "EXPERT" appears on the display. Then press the "▲" (2), "▼" (3) buttons until the display shows the message "TA VOL..". Using buttons 4 (4) and 5 (5) it is possible to select the desired volume. The volume can vary from 5 to 31.
