a) TA SEEK mode:
When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for 5 seconds, the radio
retunes to next station which doesn’t have the same station (PI) as the last station, but
has the TP information.
When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which is set by
RETUNE SHORT or RETUNE LONG, the radio start to retune to next same PI station.
When PI station does not catch in one cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station
with TP information.
Note: In TA SEEK mode, the current station can be changed to the completely different
station because the unit searches TP station when the eld (signal) strength of the cur-
rent station is very weak, or the current station has no “TP” signal. (The higher priority
is TP rather than PI.)
b) TA ALARM mode
When this mode is selected, any automatic retune mode is not activated. Only double
beep sound (ALARM) is output. So, in this mode, the unit keeps the current station any-
how. (The PI priority is higher than TP.)
When newly tuned station doesn’t have TP information for 5 seconds, beeps come out.
When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time, the beep sound is
output.
When newly tuned station doesn’t have RDS signal, “PI SEEK” is suppressed somewhat.
