However, the PTY signal is not yet broadcast by all radio stations. During FM operation, the station names in the reception table indicate which stations you can tune into. Stations which do not transmit an RDS signal are listed at the bottom of the table along with their frequencies. The display header indicates the current status.

Many FM radio stations offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals. In addition to their programmes, all traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, TP (traffic programme) or TA (traffic announcement priority) will appear in the display. There are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic programmes themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio network. If you want traffic announcements to have priority while you are listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), TA must appear in the display panel. If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.

Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 50 °C. Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to prevent uneven tape transport. After approximately 100 hours of use, dust particles collected on the playback head or roller may lead to problems in transporting the tape and sound distortions. Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in rubbing alcohol. Never insert hard objects into the tape player.
