Safety instructions
G
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.
The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the radio should be adjusted so that external noise is
still audible.
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 may 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) may 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.

Regionalisation
The RDS diversity function is independent of region. As a result, the RDS diversity function can lead to the radio
switching between various regional programmes which may vary in terms of
broadcasting content. In such a case, the
special regional programming must be
selected directly.
If several regional programmes are
transmitted by one station, this can only
be seen when the station is selected.
Stations with additional regional transmitters are indicated with a star (i.e.

X Then select the desired regional sub-
programme (i.e. ).
Note
If the signal quality of a regional alternative drifts despite the RDS diversity
function, it may mean that regional alternatives are only transmitted on a few
frequencies. Therefore, there are fewer
frequencies with strong signals available for the unit to switch to.

Accident hazard
Since information transmitted via radio
text is constantly changing, we recommend displaying the radio text only
when the vehicle is stationary to avoid
unnecessary distraction for the driver.
This is a necessary precaution for accident prevention.
X Press the left-hand rotary control.
The car radio filters data transmitted by
the radio station and displays it in the
form of radio text.
Note
Radio text cannot be displayed unless
the selected station transmits radio text.
Poor reception or interference may distort the radio text or completely prevent
it from being displayed.

Traffic programme (TP)
If an RDS diversity station broadcasts
TP announcements, it is possible to interrupt CD, CDC/AUX, MW, LW, SW
mode or the mute mode and switch the
broadcast TP announcements through.
Moreover, you can listen to one FM station while receiving TP announcements
transmitted by another FM station.
There are two ways to select a TP station:
- Automatic tracking
- Direct programming
Automatic tracking transmits TP bulle-
tins over the FM station currently being
received. If the selected FM station has
poor signal quality or is not a TP station,
the unit applies specified criteria to
search for a new TP station.
Direct programming enables a TP station to be programmed that is not the FM
station being received. This means, for
example, that a particular FM station can
be listened to whilst TP announcements
are received from another one.
If the programmed TP station’s reception is poor, the unit switches to automatic tracking until the programmed TP
station can be restored.
If the unit detects a TP station, this is indicated on the display by

Creating an MP3/WMA
storage medium
• The maximum number of tracks per
medium depends on the number of
folders and file name length. Here, for
a full file name length, it can be assumed that for 0 folders about 240
tracks and for, e.g., 50 folders a total
of around 160 tracks are possible.
• Only MP3 and WMA tracks stored on
a CD 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 24 characters.
• The MP3 formats MPEG1, MPEG2
and MPEG2.5 Layer3 are supported
by the unit.
Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 320 kbit/s and scan rates of 8 - 48 kHz
are supported. For creating MP3 files,
we recommend using the MP3 encoder from Fraunhofer.
For WMA, WMA 9 with a bit rate of
64 - 320 kbit/s is supported. For creating WMA, we recommend using Windows Media Player Version 9 from
Microsoft
®
.
• We recommend a bit rate of at least
160 kbit/s 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.
• If both MP3/WMA data and conventional audio tracks are included on the
CD it is usually referred to as a mixedmode CD. On this kind of CD the audio tracks are generally located in the
first directory on the CD.

MP3 mode
• You can play CD-Rs (writeable CDs)
and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) on this
unit,
You can also use multisession CDs,
but a multisession CD must be finalized before it can be played.
Depending on the recording device
used to record the CD-R/CD-RW
and / or the CD-R/CD-RW itself,
it may not be possible to play some
CD-Rs/CD-RWs on this unit.
For further information about creating
MP3/WMA 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/WMA CDs.
Creating a playlist
Due to the number of MP3 files that can
be saved on an MP3 CD, the MP3 CD
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.
In this case, the playlist mode must be
activated as described in “Switching between folder/playlist” on page 77.
We used the freeware WINAMP in our
trials for creating playlists. Other programs may also be used to create playlists.
The playlist formats M3U and PLS are
supported by the unit.
Note:
Please not that M3U and PLS playlists
are only supported by the unit if these
have been created using relative specified paths.
For further information about creating
playlists, please check on the Internet.

Explanation
RDS SYSTEM
This car radio is capable of receiving
RDS signals (RDS = Radio Data System) on the VHF bands. RDS is a technique for the transmission of inaudible
information in the VHF broadcasting
range. This means that the broadcaster
sends information to be analysed by the
car radio.
DAS Seek Qual. level
At the level DAS Seek Qual., all receivable and identifiable RDS programmes are stored in a list sorted by
quality. The dynamic autostore, search
and scan search functions access this
list.
DAS Seek Name level
At the level DAS Seek Name all receivable and identifiable RDS programmes are stored in a list sorted
alphabetically by name. The dynamic
autostore, search and scan search functions access this list.
RDS Stations level
At the level Stations RDS only identified RDS stations can be stored. The
unit constantly switches to the best receivable transmission frequency for the
station.
During search for
unit will stop only at identifiable stations.

select specific types of programmes,
such as sport, pop music, classical music
