Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite program (PTY: Program
TYpe) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM RDS station, CD,
and other connected components).

Note:

Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

Press TP/ANNOUNCE briefly to activate TA Standby Reception.
The TP indicator lights up (as follows).

• If you press the button while listening to an FM RDS station supporting

TA signal, the TP indicator lights up 

with its frame

. This receiver now stands

by for the TA signal reception.

• If you press the button while listening to an FM RDS station NOT

supporting TA  signal, the TP indicator lights up 

without its frame

.

In this case, TA Standby Reception does not work.

To use TA Standby Reception, tune into a station supporting TA signal by
pressing 

 

¢

 or 

4

 

. “Search” (or “Local Search”: see page 6)

appears on the display, and the unit searches for a station supporting TA
signal. When a station supporting the signal is tuned in, the TP indicator is
lit 

with its frame

. NOW this receiver stands by for the TA signal reception.

• If you press the button while listening to any other source than AM,

this unit starts searching for an FM station supporting TA signal in the
background — without affecting your listening to the source currently
selected. (During this background search, the TP indicator remains lit

without its frame

.)

– The TP indicator comes to light up 

with its frame 

when an FM station

supporting TA signal is tuned in the background. This receiver now stands
by for the TA signal reception.

– The TP indicator keeps lit 

without its frame

 when an FM station supporting

TA signal is NOT tuned in the background. In this case, this receiver
cannot stand by for TA signal reception.

How TA Standby Reception works:
If a Traffic Announcement (or Road Traffic Flash) starts broadcasting while TA Standby
Reception is activated, “Traffic” (or “Traffic flash”) appears and the unit tunes into the station
(or DAB service) broadcasting Traffic Announcement (or Road Traffic Flash). The volume
increases to the preset TA volume level (see page 16) and the Traffic Announcement (or Road
Traffic Flash) can be heard.

To deactivate TA Standby Reception, press TP/ANNOUNCE briefly again.
Each time you press the button, TA Standby Reception turns on and off.
