(PTY), 3 (
N), 7 (÷), 6 (O), 5 (˜), (8), (10),
(11), (14), (16), (17) the automatic storage process
is interrupted,the last station heard before
AutoSTore was turned on is tuned and the function
associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 15 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Compact Disc,
CD Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
❒Activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case the previous stations will be stored on the free
preset buttons.Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:

❒briefly press one of the six station storage buttons.
The display will show the number that corresponds to
the button.

With the TA function (traffic information) it is
possible:
1) to search only RDS stations that transmit in the FM
band, enabled to broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information even if the CD player
or CD Changer is in use;
3) to receive traffic information at a predefined
minimum volume even with the radio volume off.
The operations to be carried out for each of the three
above conditions are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information:
❒select band FM1, FM2 or FMT;
❒briefly press button 15 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
❒press buttons 5 (
˜) or 7 (÷).
To store stations with TA on, carry out the storage
operations (see “Manual station storage”).2) If wishing to receive traffic information when
listening to a CD, before inserting the CD or starting
the CD Changer,in Telephone mode or with Mute
function on, tune to a station enabled to broadcast
traffic information (TP) and activate the TA function.
If while listening to a Compact Disc, this station
broadcasts traffic information, the CD will be
suspended temporarily and resumed again
automatically after the end of the message. At the start
of receiving traffic information the display will briefly
show the wording “TRAFFIC INFORMATION”, while
the display continues giving the last information
(frequency, etc.).
If the CD player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 15 (AF-TA) the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band, the TA function is
activated and the traffic messages are transmitted. If
the station selected does not send traffic information,
the search for an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic information message,
briefly press button 15 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

3) To receive traffic information while not listening to
the radio:
❒tune to a station enabled to transmit traffic
information so that the display shows “TP” and turn
the volume to zero by turning the button/knob 19
(ON/OFF VOLUME).
❒turn on the TA function briefly pressing button 15
(AF-TA), so that the display shows “TA”;
This way, if that station broadcasts traffic information,
this will be heard at a minimum predefined volume.
IMPORTANT In certain countries radio stations exist
which, even if the TP function is on (the display shows
“TP”), do not transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
15 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information the search for an enabled
station starts automatically.The volume with which the traffic bulletin is
transmitted varies depending on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 20: traffic bulletin volume =
20 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 20: same traffic bulletin
volume as the listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic bulletin the
value is not shown on the display and the new value is
kept only for the bulletin in progress.
Leaving the covered area of the tuned station,
depending on the active audio source the following
cases may took place:
❒Radio on: a “beep” is given every 30 seconds;
❒Compact Disc, CD Changer (if installed), Telephone
or Mute on: the search for an enabled station will
start automatically.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn on sound
adjustment and the radio menu by pressing
respectively buttons 12 (MENU-PRESET SCAN) or 9
(AUDIO-LOUDNESS).
