The priority for traffic announcements function is
available only in FM mode for the tuner region Europe.

If you switch on the priority for traffic announcements, the
device uses the RDS services TA (Traffic Announcement)
and EON (Enhanced Other Network). TA switches traffic
reports even if you are currently listening to a different
audio source. The volume for the traffic announcement can
be adjusted (see the chapter "User settings", section
"Changing volume presettings").
If no traffic information station is currently defined, the RDS
service EON ensures that the device automatically
changes to a traffic information station of the same

broadcasting network for the duration of a traffic
announcement.

Switching the priority of traffic reports on/off

The priority of traffic announcements is switched on if the
traffic jam symbol appears on the display. This setting
limits the station search and scanning (SCAN) for traffic
information stations.

To switch the traffic report priority on/off,
 press the MENU button (13).

The Tuner menu opens.

a broadcasting network with traffic information stations.

A signal tone appears if you leave the broadcast area of
the traffic information station or switch to a station that
does not support the traffic information priority. If a different
audio source than the tuner is active, the device
automatically searches for a traffic information station in
the background.

Skipping a traffic announcement

To cancel a traffic announcement without switching off the
