TA (Traffic Announcement): This feature allows the radio to receive traffic announcements even with the volume muted, or when a CD or cassette tape is playing. When TA is on, the radio will search for another station with TA if the current station is not TA capable. During the search, TA will flash on the display. Once a TA station is found, TA will appear on the display and the traffic announcement will be played. If no station broadcasting traffic announcements is found, No Traffic will appear on the display. While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a special type of volume called TA volume. To increase or to decrease TA volume, turn the volume knob. TA volume can not be turned completely down or off. To turn off TA volume and stop TA announcements, you must turn TA off. When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station for a traffic announcement, it will return to the original station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. To turn TA on or off, perform the following steps: 1. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to enter the main menu. 2. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob until TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE appears on the display. 3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to select ON or OFF. An X will appear in the box when TA is selected on. 4. Press the BACK button to exit the display. To return to the original display keep pressing the BACK button or wait for the display to time out. MSG (Message): If the current RDS station has a message, MSG will appear on the display. If the whole message does not appear on the display, parts of the message will appear every three seconds until the message is completed. Once the complete message has been displayed, MSG will disappear from the display until another new MSG is received. If you would like to display the message, perform the following steps: 1. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to enter the main menu. 2. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob until RECALL RDS MESSAGE appears on the display. 3. Press the TUNE/SEL knob. The last message displayed will be displayed again. 3-18
