the way until it is fully locked in place. · When extending the ignition, battery or ground cables, make sure to use automotivegrade cables or other cables with an area of 0. 75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent cable deterioration and damage to the cable coating. · To prevent short circuits, never put or leave any metallic objects (e. g. , coins or metal tools) inside the unit. · If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells, turn off the power immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer. [. . . ] When a traffic information station is being received, the TP indicator will turn on. When a traffic bulletin begins to be broadcast, the TA indicator will turn on, and reception will begin at the preset volume.

News Bulletin Function with PTY News Timeout Setting You can arrange to have news bulletins interrupt your current listening source, including other radio stations. When the News Bulletin function is on, the PTY News Timeout setting allows you to set the interval during which further news interruption cannot take place. You can adjust the PTY news interruption period from 10 to 90 minutes for each journey. If you choose the "20M" setting, further news bulletins will not be received for 20 minutes once the first news bulletin is received. Setting the interval at the "00M" factory default indicates no News Timeout will be made, meaning that additional news bulletins will continue to be searched for. 4 Press the MENU button to end the menu mode. NOTE Turning News Bulletin Function On/Off: 1 Hold down the MENU button for one second or more. "MENU" is displayed and the menu mode is turned on. · This function is only available if the desired station sends PTYcode for news bulletin or belongs to EON-Network sending PTY-code for news bulletin. · If you turn on the news bulletin function in the MW/LW band, the band is switched automatically to the FM band.
