not yet activated. (This occurs when you are listening
to an FM station without the RDS signals required for
TA Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to another
station providing these signals. The TP indicator will
stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
