5– TP button
The TP standby mode allows you to hear
only traffic announcements. Even if the
volume is set to minimum, the traffic an-
nouncements are heard with the program-
med volume – see also page 13. If the
transmission range of the traffic station
tuned to is left, the radio will start after
about 30 seconds an automatic station
search.
TP6A/FTPInterrupting a traffic announcement
You may wish to interrupt a traffic an-
nouncement in certain situations, for
example
– if the announcement does not concernyour route,
– if the announcement is very long and the part concerning you is already comple-
ted.
While an announcement is heard , this
will be aborted and the previous mode, for
example radio reception or cassette play,
is continued. A new traffic announcement
will be heard again.
To switch definitely off all traffic an-
nouncements, deactivate the TP function.

When storing RDS stations you should
press the corresponding station button
only when the station name appears in
the display. This ensures that all RDS
information has been interpreted and
stored automatically.
When calling up stored RDS stations,
the corresponding station name is display-
ed. If the stored frequency is too weak for
good reception, the radio searches auto-
matically for an appropriate alternative fre-
quency (best station function).
If non of the stored alternative frequencies
is strong enough for good reception, the
desired station cannot be received at the
moment. In this case, tune to another sta-
tion.

!Please make sure that the station
name is displayed when the station
is stored. If a moving text should be
displayed, this will be stored
instead of the station name.
In many European countries, RDS is al-
ready transmitted by many radio stations.
The goal is to provide an overall coverage.
With this system, an inaudible digitized
data current is transmitted in addition to
the normal FM radio signal, providing the
RDS receiver with information in encoded
form which controls, among other things,
the following functions:
• Programme identification (PI code)
With the help of the PI code, the radio
recognizes the currently received station.
• Programme service name (PS code)
The PS code transmits the station name
which is shown in the display.• Alternative frequencies (AF code)
Because of the limited transmission range
of the FM waves, the programme of one
radio provider is transmitted by several
stations on different frequencies. The AF
code informs the radio about all alternative
frequencies of the same programme.
This enables the radio to tune to the fre-
quency which can be received in the best
quality.
Tuning to another frequency is carried out
in an inaudible way.
The station name in the display remains
unchanged.
While you are driving, the RDS radio sear-
ches permanently for alternative frequen-
cies of the station selected and tunes to
this in an automatic and inaudible way.
• Traffic programme identification (TP code = Traffic programme)
This information tells the radio that it is
currently receiving a traffic programme
station.

When the TP function is activated during
cassette mode, cassette play is automati-

REG ON/OFF
If the reception quality gets poor, your car
radio first only selects an alternative fre-
quency of the current station.
However, if the reception quality gets so
poor that a lose of the station becomes
possible, the radio will also accept fre-
quencies of a “related” station.
The "REG ON/REG OFF" function ena-
bles you to select whether alternative fre-
quencies with identical programme are to
be tuned to with the help of the RDS sig-
nal, that is, regional stations are only
selected in the case of emergency.
• Select REG ON/REG OFF in the Setup menu.
"SETUP" and the current setting are dis-
played. The "REG ON" setting is preset
at the factory.
• Press

or of the rocker ßQto select

nally related stations.
REG ON: preferred change between identi-
cal programmes; in the “case of emergen-
cy” also change to a regional programme.
ONVOL
With the ONVOL function you may limit
the maximum switch-on volume.
Normally the last adjusted volume will be
recovered when switching the car radio
on. However, if the switch-off volume is
higher then the ONVOL setting, the
switch-on volume will automatically be
limited to the ONVOL setting.
• Select ONVOL in the Setup menu. "SETUP ONVOL" and the current setting

The device is provided with an automatic
tape type switch-over function. For opti-
mum playback quality we recommend you
to use “chromium dioxide” or “metal” cas-
settes. To ensure a troublefree operation,
you should only use cassettes of well-
known manufacturers.
If distortions should occur when playing
prerecorded cassettes, we recommend
you to copy the recording on a cassette of
a renowned make.
To prevent distortions due to the cassette
itself, we recommend you to use only C-90
or C-60 cassettes.
You should not stick adhesive labels
or additional labels on the cassette.
During cassette mode, the cassette
may get warm and the label detach
causing malfunctions.
Tips to cassette modeGuarantee
Never expose cassettes for a long time
to very low (below -10° C) or very high
(above +50° C) temperatures inside the
vehicle. Please consider that the tempera-
ture inside the vehicle may be considerab-
ly higher than outside the car.
Avoid exposure of the cassettes to direct
sunlight. It is best to store the cassettes in
their boxes or in the original cassette tray
with reel lock available for most vehicles.
If the high frequencies should get lost after
long operation (about 100 hrs. according
to tape material), the sound head may be
soiled by tape abrasion. In this case, clean
the sound head using a wet cleaning cas-
sette. Use only cleaning cassettes of a
nenowned make and follow the user
manual of the cassette manufacturer.For our car radio systems apply the same
guarantee conditions as for new vehicles.

!A damage in the sense of the
guarantee must not be caused by
improper handling of the system or
by inexpert attempts of repair. In
additioin, no visible damages must
exist.
