P. 20 Goodmans Product Information Helpline (02392) 391100 Installation Helpline (01132) 868613 INFO- function TRAFFIC INFORMATION RECEPTION TA FUNCTION IMPORTANT NOTE This product incorporates the latest RDS software as such the following points apply. If TA is already selected and the programme selected from a preset memory does not transmit Traffic information, the TP symbol (TP) shown in the display will flash and a beep will sound every 30 seconds indicating that traffic information will not be received whilst listening to this programme/station. The Audible beep sound can be disabled by pressing the TA button (2) thus switching TA off. Whilst listening to a NON TA (Traffic information) programme/station the TA function is switched ON, the unit identifies that the user requires traffic information and automatically re-tunes to the next available TA transmitting station. If the station selected is not acceptable, alternative TA transmitting stations can be selected by leaving TA switched on and using Auto/Manual or PTY tuning methods. "Please note that TP (RDS symbol for TA) will show in the display when you are tuned to a station which is capable of broadcasting Traffic information. " Note: If the Regional function is on , a regional station with traffic announcement is received. If the radio was in CD mode, it switches temporarily to Radio mode, and the display will show the Programme Service name of the received station. If the volume was low, it is raised to a preset to a preset level or the preferred TA level set using the select function. At the end of the traffic announcement, the original station or CD function is restored again. [. . . ] These signals may be received over very long distances because the transmitting signal will bend around the curvature of the earth. These transmissions are affected by similar factors to the FM band, but in addition to this the reception will alter as night falls. The ionised layer in the upper atmosphere changes at night and allows more distant signals to be reflected back down to the earth. Subsequently more stations will appear on the waveband and this may cause tuning difficulties or co-channel interference (where 2 or more stations occupy the same frequency on the waveband). [. . . ]
