TRAF Button (Traffic Announcement)

The Traffic Announcement (TA) provides an interruption of the audio in order to allow the broadcast of a traffic announcement. During FM tuner operation, when the radio is tuned to a RDS station that offers traffic programming the TRAF icon will be lit. In order to enable or disable the TA mode press the TRAF button.

There will be brackets around the TRAF icon when the TA is enabled. When TA is enabled and the radio is tuned in to a station that offers traffic programming, the radio will wait for the TA. If the currently tuned station does not offer traffic programming the radio seeks the next available station broadcasting traffic announcements. If the receiver does not find a station, the following actions occur:
^ The radio returns to the previously tuned station.
^ The radio cancels the TA mode.
^ NO TRAFFIC is displayed for 5 seconds.

The following sequence occurs when a TA is detected:
1. TA stays active
2. The radio will wait for the TA.

TA may also be enabled during the use of a playback device. If a playback is in use with TA enabled, the following occurs when a TA is detected:
^ The receiver immediately switches the audio to the turner.
^ The playback device will pause.
^ The radio displays TRAFFIC
^ The volume is set to the larger of the following values:
- The minimum default volume
- The current listening volume
^ You may adjust the volume when the traffic announcement plays.
^ When the traffic announcement is complete, the previously selected functions return to the user set positions.

If the TA scan does not detect a station with traffic programming the radio will revert back to the playback device.
