(Proof of purchase required) 15 ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL Radio operation Starting radio operation Press TU @. Radio operation will begin and the main menu will appear in the display. The station you last tuned into will begin to play. The six softkeys located at the sides of the display are used to recall the radio stations which have been stored as well as to store the radio stations. 16 Selecting the AM/FM band preset memory The TravelPilot is able to receive FM and AM radio stations. To select either the FM or AM band, Start radio operation and Press TU @ again. You will access the function menu and can now activate the memory banks by pressing the corresponding softkeys. Main tuner menu Switching RDS (Radio Data System) on/off The Radio Data System is a service offered by radio stations which provides you with more enjoyment and convenience when listening to FM radio. In addition to their regular programming, the radio stations broadcast such signals as their station name, consisting of one to a maximum of eight characters and the traffic information status of the station. The station name appears in the display as soon as the station is identified. The TravelPilot also automatically searches for the best frequency for the station selected. To take full advantage of the RDS functions, you must activate this option for radio operation in the DSC menu. Start radio operation. Press DSC ;. Tuner function menu Radio operation You will access the DSC menu for radio operation and find the menu item for RDS in the bottom line on the left. Here you can choose between the following options: VAR, FIX and OFF. VAR is the default setting. Press the softkey marked RDS repeatedly until the desired option is displayed next to RDS. FIX: RDS radio operation is active. Because a number of radio stations transmit not only their station names, but advertising as well, you can use this setting to allow only the display of the station name. Alternating display contents, such as advertising, will not appear on the screen. Tuner DSC menu VAR: The default setting, RDS radio operation is fully active. Alternating display contents will also appear on the screen. OFF: RDS radio operation is deactivated. The radio station selected is identified in the display by its frequency. Activating/deactivating RDS-REG Another attractive RDS option is the "Alternate Frequency" function. The system performs a constant search for frequencies with better reception for the radio station selected and switches automatically to these frequencies. At certain times of the day, however, some radio station networks broadcast different programs to serve a particular region. If the alternate frequency option is activated, this might mean that the radio automatically switches to a stronger frequency for the same station which is currently broadcasting a different regional program. If you want to continue listening to a particular regional program and prevent the radio from automatically switching to a different frequency, switch the menu item REG in the DSC menu to ON. Then the radio will not switch frequencies unless reception deteriorates to the point that it is no longer possible to pick up the frequency selected. Press DSC ; to switch to the DSC menu for the tuner. 17 ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL Radio operation Press the softkey marked REG repeatedly until the desired option appears next to REG. OFF is the default setting. 18 Switching PTY on/off PTY (Program Type) is also an RDS service. With PTY, the radio stations indicate the contents of the program they are broadcasting. This allows you to select stations broadcasting the type of program you want to listen to more easily, e.g. POP or CLASSICAL. If you activate the PTY function in the DSC menu for radio operation, the program type will appear briefly in the display when you select the station by pressing the station preset key, for example. If the station does not support the PTY function, there will be no indication in the display. Press DSC ; to switch to the DSC menu for the tuner and Press the softkey marked PTY repeatedly until the desired option, ON or OFF, appears. ON is the default setting. PTY Alarm The Alarm is a special program type. If the TravelPilot detects an alarm message, e.g. a disaster alert, a symbol will appear in the foreground of the display and the alarm message will be emitted at the volume selected for traffic information messages. The alarm message can be interrupted by pressing DSC ;, TU @, CD.C ? and by switching to a different radio station. Main tuner menu displaying the PTY symbol Traffic information TA (Traffic Announcement) Traffic information is a service provided by the radio station networks. They broadcast traffic announcements at regular intervals. Radio stations offering traffic information broadcast a special signal to indicate that this service is available. If the TravelPilot identifies this signal, a TP symbol (TP=Traffic Program) will appear in the status line in the main radio menu. (European systems only) Radio operation If the TravelPilot TA function is active, traffic announcements will be broadcast at the minimum volume selected in the Set-up Volume. If the TA function is activated for the other sources, (CD player and CD changer as well as navigation), playback will be interrupted for an incoming traffic announcement and the message will be broadcast. When the traffic announcement is completed, playback will resume. If the TA function is active and you select a radio station manually which does not support traffic information, you will hear a warning beep. In this case, the system will start an automatic search for a TP station after the warning beep has sounded. Activating/deactivating the TA function for radio operation Use the DSC menu for the corresponding source to activate or deactivate the TA function. A TA symbol in the status line indicates that the TA function is active. Press DSC ; to switch to the DSC menu for the tuner and Press the softkey marked TA repeatedly until the desired option, ON or OFF, appears. ON is the default setting. Note: You can also use the hotkey to switch the TA function on and off. For information on how to program the hotkey, refer to the section on "Programming the hotkey" in the chapter on Set-up/Default settings. Interrupting traffic announcements To interrupt traffic announcements, press DSC ;, AUD :, TU @ and CD.C ? or select a different radio station. If you have programmed the Hotkey accordingly, you can also interrupt traffic announcements by pressing this key. Tuner DSC menu 19 ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL Radio operation Selecting a FM station There are several ways in which you can select radio stations with the TravelPilot. Automatic station seek tuning To select radio stations automatically, Press on the rocker switch 7 to start station seek tuning upwards or on the rocker switch 7 to start station seek tuning downwards. If the TA function is active, the system will select only those stations which support traffic information (TP symbol in the display). Paging through the broadcasting network (with RDS only) You can select RDS stations within reception range directly. If it is possible to receive several stations which belong to the same broadcasting network, you can press << >> on the rocker switch 7 to page up or down through these stations. Note: This function will not operate unless these stations have been picked up by the radio receiver at least once. You can, for example, start SCAN seek tuning or the Travelstore function. For more information, refer to the corresponding sections on Scan seek tuning or Travelstore. Manual station tuning If you know a station's frequency, you can also select it manually. This is useful if you would like to select a station which is not detected by automatic seek tuning. Important: the RDS function must be switched off in the DSC menu. Press << or >> on the rocker switch 7. The frequency will move up or down the band in increments of 200 kHz. 20
