Enhanced Other Network (EON)

When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and
the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other network
stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated
by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS informa­tion. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations,
including the one that is currently tuned in to. For exam­ple, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be
able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency,
or another station serving the same programme. EON also
keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick recep­tion.

Emergency Announcement
Reception

When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit
is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast (Even
when in another mode without the Bluetooth Hands-Free
Kit mode). During receiving the emergency announcement,
“

ALARM”appears on the display.

Note:

¡ Emergency announcements are broadcast at the TA vol-

ume level. (a Page 16)
