Traffic Announcement VolumeThe volume of all traffic announcementscan be reduced or increased by adjustingthe volume while an announcement is beingheard. When the next announcement isreceived, the volume will automaticallyincrease to this volume. When theannouncement is over, the radio will returnto the previous volume setting of whateverradio mode was playing.
