What you really have to read
Before you operate your new car radio, please read the following information carefully.
Traffic safety
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic
situation at all times. Never use your car radio
in a way that could distract you.
Please keep in mind that you travel a distance of 14 m per second at a speed of only
50 km/h.
Do not adjust your radio in difficult driving
conditions that demand your full attention.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from outside of the vehicle, such as police or fire engine
sirens, so that you can react accordingly.
Installation/connection
In order to ensure that the set functions
properly it is necessary that the positive power supply line is connected to the ignition
and the permanent +12 V connector of the
car radio.
If you would like to install your new car radio
by yourself or add other audio components to
the existing ones, then please read carefully
the enclosed instructions on installation and
connection.

Use only the accessory and replacement
parts approved by Blaupunkt.
Optical indication of theft protection
When the car is stationary, you can let the
KeyCard tongue flash in order to indicate that
the set is equipped with security coding. Use
DSC to select one of two settings: LED ON or
LED OFF.
For more information, please read through
chapter “DSC programming - LED ON/OFF”.
KeyCard
The car radio can only be operated using
either KeyCard 1 or 2. Their codes are stored
in the unit.
Turn on the set and introduce the KeyCard
completely. The car radio is now ready for
operation. When inserting a wrong KeyCard,
the display will show “----”.
After approximately 10 seconds, “CARD
ERR” will appear in the display. In this case
do not make any further adjustments until
you have the corresponding KeyCard available.
Never try to pull out the KeyCard by force.
First, slightly press the card in. This releases
the KeyCard; the display shows
“LEARNING”. Now you can pull out the card.
Should the KeyCard be lost or damaged,
then please contact one of our authorised
service partners to get a new card.
The service centres are marked (
radio service centre list. In case of doubt,
please contact the central service centre in
your country for more information on the
KeyCard service centre closest to you.
Use either KeyCard (1 and 2) to individually
store the following functions as desired:
bass, treble, balance and fader settings, preset stations, loudness, TA (traffic announcement volume), SPEECH (tone control for
speech programs), BEEP volume, SCANTIME, VOLFIX.
In addition to this, the settings activated before switching the radio off, such as the
waveband, station, TA priority, loudness, AF,
CPS, Dolby B/C, RM, REG ON/OFF or seek
tuning sensitivity will also remain stored.
When you insert your KeyCard, the basic
settings you have programmed will automatically be activated.
) in the car
Replacing a KeyCard
Any KeyCard can only be replaced by a new
one with the same number (1 or 2). Should
you wish to replace KeyCard 2, for example:
• Insert KeyCard 1 and switch the radio
on.
• Slightly press the card and it will move
into the removal position. “LEARNING”
will then appear in the display.
• Remove KeyCard 1 and insert the new
KeyCard 2 while the display is still
showing LEARNING.
Now you can operate the set with the new
KeyCard 2.
You can switch the radio on only after inserting either a KeyCard 1 or 2.
32
Selecting the operating
mode
With the SRC (source) button you can select
between the following modes:
radio,
tape,
CD changer (option), or
operation of another audio component
connected.
To select one of the operating modes, it is of
course necessary that the corresponding
system is available, i.e. the add-on component must be adequately connected and the
sound carrier (cassette, disc, changer magazine) inserted.
To switch over to the next operating mode
available,
• press the SRC button.
Radio operation with ADA and RDS
ADA
This car radio features ADA (Auto Directio-
nal Antenna).
The 2-fold ADA system developed by Blaupunkt incorporates two tuners (Codem IV
concept) and sets new standards in reception quality, which is clearly superior to other
systems.
With ADA, the set simultaneously analyses
and processes the signals furnished by two
antennas. Compared to traditional concepts,
this leads to a considerable improvement in
the radio reception quality.
Also, multipath interference effects (produced by hills or buildings) are minimised to an
extent unparalleled so far.
ADA on/off - antenna test
You can switch off ADA and test the antennas. For more information, read through
chapter “DSC programming, ADA”.
RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when listening to FM.
More and more radio stations have begun to
broadcast additional RDS information alongside their programs.
As soon as a radio program has been identified, the station name including a regional
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the
display, for example “NDR1 NDS” (local radio program of Lower Saxony, Germany).
With RDS, the preset buttons become program buttons. Now you know exactly which
program you have tuned into and in future
you can select this program directly.
But RDS even offers you more advantages:
AF - Alternative Frequency
The AF function makes sure that the radio will
always tune into the optimum frequency for
the RDS station you are listening to.
This function is activated if “AF” lights up in
the display.
In order to switch AF on/off:
• Press the AF button briefly.
During seek tuning for the frequency offering
the best reception of the selected program,
the radio will be muted briefly.
When “SEARCH” appears in the display after
the radio has been switched on or one of the
stored frequencies retrieved, then the radio
is automatically searching for an alternative
frequency.
“SEARCH” goes out as soon as the system
has found an alternative frequency or after
the frequency band has been run through
completely.

move to an area where another linked regional program becomes stronger, the unit will
switch to that program. If you wish to continue
listening to the first station:
• Press the AF button for about 2 sec.
The display will show “REG ON”.
If you leave the service area of the regional
station tuned into, or if you would like to take
advantage of the full RDS service, then

As soon as such a signal is received, the
display shows “TP” (Traffic Program).
Other radio stations do not actually air traffic
announcements themselves, but by using
RDS-EON they make it possible to receive
the traffic announcements of another station
within the same radio network. In this case,
“TP” will light up in the display as soon as the
priority for traffic announcements is activated. The display must then show “TA”.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the
radio will automatically switch to the linked
traffic program for the duration of the message and return to the original program after the
end of the message.

Traffic Memo (TIM)
Automatic seek tuning start
Prerequisite:
The priority for traffic announcements is activated. If you leave the reception area of your
traffic program while listening to a tape or
disc or when having turned down the volume
completely, the car radio will automatically
tune into another traffic program station.
If no such traffic program station is found
within approximately 30 seconds, tape or
disc reproduction will be interrupted and the
system will release a warning beep. To
switch the beep off, proceed as described
above.
Adjusting the traffic message
volume
The volume of the warning beep and of the
current traffic message was pre-adjusted at
the factory. If you would like to alter the
setting, proceed as described under “DSC
programming - TA LEVEL”.
This set is equipped with a digital speech
memory, allowing up to 4 traffic messages
lasting a maximum of 4 minutes to be automatically recorded.
As soon as “TP” is displayed, the system will
record all incoming traffic announcements of
the adjusted station.
If the priority for traffic announcements is
activated (“TA” lights up in the display), the
set will also record the traffic messages of the
traffic station program within the same radio
network (see also “Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON”).
Depending on the length of the new traffic
bulletin, the oldest messages will be deleted.
If a message is longer than four minutes, the
system will display OVERFLOW after four
minutes of playback, and release a beep tone
to indicate that the message could only be
recorded partially.
Warning
The motor antenna could be damaged in
a car wash.
If you have installed a motor antenna, then
please take into account the corresponding
warning note at the end of this chapter.
Recalling stored traffic announcements
• Press the TIM button briefly.
The display for example shows: NDR2 (sta-
tion name or frequency), then briefly
T4 14.30 (T4 = traffic message 4, recorded
at 14:30). If four traffic messages were recorded, then “T4” always represents the most
recent announcement, which will also be
played first.
Use the
/ rocker button to switch between
T1 and T4.
Hold down the
/ rocker button to move
through the message in forwards/backwards
direction quickly.
Press << to go back to the beginning of the
currently played message.
The TIM function is switched off by either
pressing TIM or >>.
TIM standby mode when the radio is
turned off
With this system it is possible to record incoming traffic announcements automatically at
pre-determined times when the radio is turned off.
You may then recall such messages as described above.
If you press the TIM button while a traffic
announcement is being played (TA lit up in
the display), the recording will be interrupted.

RT – Radiotext
Radiotext is an RDS feature used by the
broadcasters to transmit texts.
The texts can be displayed in two subsequent lines with a maximum of 64 characters
each, which are moved through the display
slowly.
Depending on the individual broadcaster,
these texts can be of a different nature, for
example brief news, program information,
commercial broadcasts, etc.
For safety reasons, the radiotext function can
only be used if the ignition is switched off.
When activating RT with the ignition being
switched on, the message “NO TEXT” will
appear in the display.
To read radiotext messages, proceed as
follows:
Park the vehicle in a suitable place and turn
off the ignition. The radio will be switched off
automatically.
• In order to re-activate the car radio,
press the ON button for about 1 second.
• Select a station and press RT.
It takes some time until the aired messages
are fully available in the system. In the meantime, the radio will display the message
“WAIT”.
Afterwards, the text will be displayed.
If the adjusted station does not provide radiotext information, the message “NO TEXT” is
displayed.
To switch off radiotext:
• Press the RT button once again.

Care of your audio equipment
We recommend that you use only C-60/C-90
cassette tapes in your car radio. Store your
cassettes in a cool place away from dirt, dust
and temperatures exceeding 50 °C. During
cold weather, allow very cold cassettes to
warm up before playing them in order to
avoid uneven tape transport. Operating problems and sound distortions may occur after
approximately 100 hours of playing time and
are caused by dust particles which adhere to
the rubber roller and the audio head.
Use a cleaner cassette to remove normal dirt
build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton
swab (Q-tip) soaked with alcohol. Do not
attempt to clean the mechanism by inserting
a hard object into the player!
