Press AF button on the panel to turn the AF function on or off. When the function is on, AF symbol will blink
on the display.
When the radio signal strength is poor, enabling the AF function will allow the unit to automatically search
another station with the same PI (Program Identification) as the current station but with a stronger signal,
so that you do not have to retune the stations when driving between different transmitter coverage areas.

If RDS service is not available in your area, turn off the AF mode.

Press TA button to turn TA function on or off. When on, the TA symbol will show on the display.
In TA mode traffic program will be automatically searched, until the program is received. When traffic
announcement is received the unit will temporarily switch to the tuner mode (regardless of the current
mode) and begin broadcasting the announcement. After the traffic announcement is over, it will return to
the previous mode and volume level. To interrupt traffic announcement press TA button shortly; it will not
switch off the TA mode.
