Monitoring traffic, news, or information

programmes (EON)

The EON (Enhanced Other Network) function allows

the receiver to switch automatically to a station

broadcasting traffic announcements, news or

information programmes. When such a programme

starts on a station networking with the preset FM RDS

station, the receiver automatically tunes in the station.

After the programme ends, the receiver switches back

to the original preset station or the programme source

you were originally listening to.

want to monitor.

Each time you press RDS EON, the indicators

The receiver enters EON standby mode.

“NO TA”, “NO NEWS”, or “NO INFO” appears if you

press RDS EON before tuning to an RDS station.

When a station starts broadcasting the programme you

selected, the receiver switches to the station, a message

(e.g., “NOW TA”) appears and the respective indicator

(e.g.,“TA”) flashes. After the programme ends, the

receiver switches back to the station you were listening

to (or the function you were using).
