TomTom Traffic Receiver

LIVE Services and the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver

Your TomTom navigation device always uses the best traffic

information available.

If you have a subscription to LIVE services and are using an RDS-TMC

Traffic Receiver, your device first tries to connect to LIVE services to

download HD Traffic information.

If HD Traffic is unavailable, your device then uses the RDS-TMC Traffic

Receiver to download the latest RDS-TMC traffic information.

Your TomTom device regularly checks whether HD Traffic information

is available. If it becomes available, your device uses HD Traffic

information instead of RDS-TMC information. Only one source of

traffic information is used at any time.

Setting the radio frequency for RDS-TMC information

Note: Not all devices support setting the radio frequency.

If you know the frequency of a particular radio station you want to use

for RDS-TMC traffic information, you can set the frequency manually.

To activate this feature, you must first enable manual tuning.

1. Tap the Traffic bar in the Driving View, then tap Change Traffic

preferences.

2. Select Tune manually by entering a frequency and then tap Done.

Now you can enter the frequency of the radio station.

3. Tap the Traffic sidebar in the Driving View.

4. Tap Tune Manually.

5. Enter the frequency of the radio station.

6. Tap Done.

Your TomTom device looks for your radio station. If it doesn't find a

radio station at the frequency you set, it automatically continues to

search for the next available station.
