Warning beep

(Enhanced Other Networks)

Many FM broadcasters provide their service

area with traffic messages at regular inter-

vals.

All traffic program stations transmit a special

telegram signal alongside their programs,

which is recognised and decoded by the car

radio.

As soon as such a signal is received, the

display shows “TP” (Traffic Program).

Other radio stations do not actually air traffic

announcements themselves, but by using

RDS-EON they make it possible to receive

the traffic announcements of another station

within the same radio network. In this case,

“TP” will light up in the display as soon as the

priority for traffic announcements is activa-

ted. The display must then show “TA”.

If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the

radio will automatically switch to the linked

traffic program for the duration of the messa-

geandreturntotheoriginalprogramafterthe

end of the message.

If you leave the reception area of the traffic

programstationyouarecurrentlylisteningto,

you will hear a warning beep after approxi-

Care of your audio equipment

We recommend that you use only C-60/C-90

cassette tapes in your car radio. Store your

cassettes in a cool place away from dirt, dust

and temperatures exceeding 50 °C. During

cold weather, allow very cold cassettes to

warm up before playing them in order to

avoid uneven tape transport. Operating pro-

blems and sound distortions may occur after

approximately 100 hours of playing time and

are caused by dust particles which adhere to

the rubber roller and the audio head.

Use a cleaner cassette to remove normal dirt

build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton

swab (Q-tip) soaked with alcohol. Do not

attempt to clean the mechanism by inserting

a hard object into the player!
