Safety instructions

Operation of the unit is permitted only if traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely sure that you, your passengers or other motorists are not endangered, obstructed or inconvenienced.

In all cases, all applicable road traffic regulations must be obeyed. Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is stationary.

The country-specific regulations apply for telephone operations.

The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation system.

Due to continual changes in traffic routing or deviations in the data, it may occur that imprecise or erroneous information is given. Therefore, actual road signs and traffic regulations must always be observed. In particular, the navigation system cannot be used as an orientation aid at times of poor visibility.

The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the radio, navigation system and telephone should be adjusted so that external noise is still audible.

Do not activate the telephone near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting areas.

In the case of a malfunction (i.e. smoke or other noticeable odours) the unit is to be turned off immediately.

For safety reasons, the unit must only be opened by a trained technician. Please refer to your dealer for repair.

Information regarding general road safety

This car radio device is intended and approved for installation and operation in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and buses (vehicle classes M, N and O) whose electric system has a rated voltage of 12V.

Installation and maintenance should only be carried out by specialists. Faulty installation or maintenance can result in the malfunctioning of the motor vehicle’s electronic systems. The vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions must be observed.

The vehicle’s electronics (e.g. speedometer signal) must only be worked on by an authorised service garage. We assume no liability for any impairment of the vehicle’s electronics.

This device is only intended for installation in the area provided for this purpose by the vehicle manufacturer.

The method of attachment used must ensure that the device will remain properly attached, should the vehicle be involved in a crash.

The power supply must be properly fused.

Using mobile phones without an external antenna in the proximity of the radio unit may cause interference.

Familiarise yourself with the device and how it works before embarking on your journey. Whilst on the move, only operate the device in appropriate traffic conditions. The volume of the device should be set at a level that enables external noises (e.g. police sirens) to be easily heard.

Navigation mode

What is navigation?

The term “navigation” (lat. navigare = to travel by sea) is generally understood to mean the location of a vehicle, the determination of the direction and distance from the desired destination and the required route. As navigation aids, stars, prominent landmarks, compass and satellites are used. With Cascade, location is determined with the GPS receiver (GPS = Global Positioning System). The direction and distance from the destination are determined using a digital road map, a navigation computer and sensors. A speedometer signal and a reverse signal are additionally used to calculate the route. For safety reasons, navigation is pre- dominantly in spoken form supported by a direction indicator on the display.

Safety instructions

• Road traffic regulations always take priority. The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation system.

• Observation of traffic signs and local traffic regulations must always take priority.

• Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles only. Special driving recommendations and regulations for other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehicles) are not included.

• Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is stationary.

Navigation mode

Navigation data

The Cascade is supplied with a CF memory card. This memory card contains a digitised road map.

Note:

The navigation function of the Cascade only functions with an original memory card supplied by Harman/Becker. The supplied memory card must not be formatted under any circumstances.

Motorways, federal and regional roads, as well as district roads are stored in the digitised street map. Larger cities and communities are comprehensively covered. For smaller towns and communities, the regional and unclassified roads or access roads and the town centres are included. One-way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans and other traffic regulations are taken into account as far as possible. There may be discrepancies between the data on the memory card and the actual local situation, due to permanent changes to road systems and their traffic regulations.

Navigation mode

Note:

For Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Spain and Italy, non-verified data has been used to achieve a high depth of digitisation; i.e. with this data, the navigation system cannot refer to information such as motorway, trunk road, 30 zone, one-way street or other traffic regulations, as this is not recorded. All roads can be used, but optimum route guidance cannot be guaranteed.

Inserting memory card

The slot for memory cards containing navigation data is located underneath the removable control panel on the Cascade or underneath the cover.

X Remove the control panel as described

in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 14.

X Remove the cover as described in “In-

serting/Removing the cover” on page 15.

X Take the memory card containing the

navigation data out of its protective sleeve.

X Insert the memory card into the visible

slot on the right-hand side.

Notes:

The memory card can only be inserted in one direction. The reverse of the memory card points to the left.

X Push the memory card carefully into

the slot.

This pushes the eject button located above and to the left of the slot outwards.

X Reinsert the cover as described in “In-

serting/Removing the cover” on page 15.

X Reinsert the control panel as described

in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 14.

The memory card containing the navigation data is now ready for operation and the system is able to access the navigation data.

In fast access mode, you can select and navigate to the last destinations entered/ the destinations you have stored in fast access mode. For more information, see “Navigation fast access” on page 35.

Note:

The memory card containing the navigation data must be loaded when starting navigation mode for the first time. If calibration of the navigation system has not yet been completed, the system will prompt you to take a drive for calibration (see Installation Guide). The memory card containing the navigation data must be inserted to start the calculation of a route. If it is not inserted, you will be prompted to insert it. During the route calculation, the symbol appears on the right-hand side of the display. Once the calculation has been completed, the symbol disappears, the memory card can then be removed and replaced, if desired, by a memory card containing audio data. When entering destinations, driving off should be delayed until the symbol has disappeared. For distant destinations, you may be prompted to re-insert the memory card at a later time.

Dynamic route guidance with TMC

Note:

Dynamic route guidance is not possible in all countries. When new route calculations are made with active dynamic route guidance, the navigation system may request the memory card containing the navigation data (if it is not already inserted).

What is dynamic route guidance?

Dynamic route guidance is used to calculate the route, taking current traffic announcements into account. The traffic announcements are transmitted by a TMC radio station in addition to the radio programme and are received and analysed by the navigation system. The reception of traffic announcements is free of charge.

Note:

As the traffic announcements are transmitted by radio stations, we cannot assume responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of the announcements.

Austria: The location and event code was made available by ASFINAG and BMVIT.

Dynamic route guidance

You can activate dynamic route guidance by selecting route options. If dynamic route guidance has been activated, a continuous check is made for the presence of relevant announcements for the selected route. The route is then calculated using the “fast route” option, while taking into account current traffic announcements. If it is determined during these continuous checks that a traffic announcement is of relevance for the route guidance, the unit will automatically re-calculate a new route to the destination.

Notes on compact discs (CD)

Sound interruptions may occur if the CD is soiled. In order to ensure the highest tone quality, please note the following:

• Always touch the CD at the edges only. Keep the disc clean and never touch the surface.

• Never stick anything on the CD.

• Protect the CDs against direct sunlight and from heat sources such as heaters etc.

• Before playing the CD, it should be cleaned with a special, commercially available cleaning cloth, wiping from the centre outwards. Solvents such as benzene, thinners or other commercially available cleaners and antistatic sprays must not be used.

Notes:

• The Cascade cannot play back DVDplus media (one side audio CD, the other DVD). Due to its increased thickness, inserting a DVD-plus may damage the Cascade.

• Please note that foreign bodies such as coins or other objects must not be inserted into the CD slot on the Cascade. Foreign bodies in the unit can damage the Cascade.

Inserting/Ejecting CDs

Insertion

the printed side up. The unit pulls in the CD automatically and begins to play the disc from the first track.

Ejecting

X Press .

X Remove the CD.

Notes:

• The CD is not ejected when the unit is switched off but remains in the CD slot.

• If, once it has been ejected, the CD is not removed from the CD slot, it will be pulled back in after a short time.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RWs

You can play CD-Rs (writeable CDs) and CD-RWs (rewriteable CDs) on this unit. However, please comply with legal restrictions. These restrictions may vary from one country to another. Depending upon the recording device used to record the CD-R/CD-RW or the state of the CD-R/CD-RW itself, it may not be possible to play some CD-Rs/CDRWs on this unit. A CD-R/CD-RW must be manufactured according to the “Red Book” standard (not applicable for MP3 CDs).

Notes on copy-protected CDs

In some cases, problems may arise when attempting to play copy-protected CDs, such as long reading times or a total inability to perform playback.

Temperature protection circuit

A temperature protection circuit in the Cascade protects the laser diode from excessive heat. If this protection circuit is triggered, a warning message will appear and a signal tone will sound. The internal CD drive will then be disabled until a cooling down phase has elapsed.

MP3 mode

General notes on MP3

The music that can be played when your unit is in MP3 mode is generally copyright-protected under applicable international and national laws. In several countries, the reproduction of copyrighted material is not permitted, even if only for personal use, without the express prior consent of the copyright holder. Please check the current copyright laws for your country and comply with them. These restrictions naturally do not apply to your own compositions and recordings, or for recordings for which authorisation has been obtained from the copyright holder.

Media mode

Creating an MP3 storage medium

•

A maximum of 63 folders, each of which can contain up to 254 tracks, can be stored on a storage medium. However, a maximum of 1000 tracks for CDs and 2000 tracks per CF-card/ micro-drive are supported. If a folder contains more than 254 tracks, a second folder will be created automatically which can also contain up to 254 tracks. Only folder or track names with 254 characters or fewer can be displayed.

• Only MP3 tracks stored on a storage medium in compliance with ISO 9660 can be played.

• If the artist’s name and track title are to be displayed, an ID3 tag must be added to the MP3 file. This unit supports versions ID3v1 and ID3v2.

• The display of artist’s name and track title is restricted to a total maximum length of 63 characters.

The MP3 formats MPEG1 and MPEG2

• Layer3 are supported by the unit. Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 - 320 kbps and scan rates of 16-48 kHz are supported (for files with variable bit rate only with Xing header). We recommend the use of the Fraunhofer MP3 Encoder when creating MP3 files.

• We recommend a bit rate of at least 160 kbps for compressing MP3 files. It should be noted that with MP3 files having a variable bit rate, the display of the elapsed playing time may deviate from real time.

• In the case of a mixed-mode medium (partly conventional audio tracks and partly data), only the audio tracks are played back. The data part is not played back, even if MP3 tracks are included.

For further information about creating MP3 files and ID3 tags, please consult your dealer or check on the Internet.

Note:

Due to the abundance of different kinds of CD burning software and their associated settings we cannot guarantee the playback quality of MP3 CDs and/or micro-drive/storage cards.

Media mode

MP3 CD mode

The following points, described in “CD mode” on page 85 apply to MP3 CD mode:

• “Notes on compact discs (CD)” on page 85.

• “Inserting/Ejecting CDs” on page 85.

• “Notes on CD-R and CD-RWs” on page 86.

• “Temperature protection circuit” on page 86.

MP3 memory cards/ Micro-drive mode

Note:

• Micro-drives with a capacity of up to 4 GB can be used.

• Type 1 and type 2 CF cards can be used as memory cards. Memory cards up to a capacity of 4 GB can be used.

• Please note that the storage medium was formatted with the FAT 32 file system.

Inserting a micro-drive/memory card

The slot for micro-drive/memory cards is located underneath the removable control panel on the Cascade or underneath the cover.

X Remove the control panel as described

in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 14.

X Remove the cover as described in

“Inserting/Removing the cover” on page 15.

X Insert the micro-drive/memory card

into the visible slot on the right-hand side.

Notes:

The memory card/micro-drive can only be inserted in one direction. The reverse of the memory card/micro-drive points to the left.

X Push the micro-drive/memory card

carefully into the slot. This pushes the eject button located above and to the left of the slot outwards.

Media mode

X Reinsert the cover as described in

“Inserting/Removing the cover” on page 15.

X Reinsert the control panel as described

in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 14.

The micro-drive/memory card is now ready for operation and, if MP3 tracks appear on the micro-drive/memory card, the first track in the first directory is played automatically. If the content of the micro-drive/memory card has not been changed since it was last inserted, playback begins with the last track played.

Removing a micro-drive/memory card

X Remove the control panel as described

in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 14.

Playback sequence for MP3 storage media

Media mode

Here is an example of a folder structure on an MP3 storage medium. The filled grey rectangles represent folders/directories. The empty rectangles symbolise MP3 tracks.

The playback sequence is indicated by the numbers in brackets starting with (1). In other words, the tracks played first are those that are directly on the storage medium and not in a subdirectory.

The letters in brackets starting with (a) represent the sequence in which the various folders/directories can be seen in the audio fast access mode.

Playlists

Due to the number of MP3 files that can be saved on a memory card/micro-drive or CD, this storage medium quickly becomes confusing. You can make it less confusing using playlists.

In a playlist, you can combine, for example, all the desired songs in a category (e.g. rock). This playlist can then be burned on the CD together with the MP3 files that are stored in folders. The unit recognises this playlist (several possible) on reading the MP3 CD and can then play the MP3 tracks in the order specified by the playlist.

M3U and PLS playlists are supported by the Cascade.

Creating playlists

We used the WINAMP freeware in our trials for creating playlists. However, other programs may also be used to create playlists. The playlist formats M3U and PLS are supported by the unit. For further information about creating playlists, please check on the Internet.
