Road safety
Road safety has absolute priority. Only operate your COMPACT
DRIVE MP3 Player if the road and
traffic conditions allow you to do so.
Familiarise yourself with the unit before setting off on your journey.
You should always be able to hear
police, fire and ambulance sirens
from afar. For this reason, set the
volume of whatever you are listening to to a reasonable level.

The COMP ACT DRIVE MP3 is an MP3
player that plays MP3 music files stored
on the Microdrive™ (hard disk).
CF cards (storage media) are not recognized by the COMPACT DRIVE
MP3. MP3 is a process developed by
the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD audio data. Compression allows
data to be reduced to around 15% of
their original size without a noticeable
loss in quality (at a bit rate of 192 Kbit/
s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert
CD audio data to MP3, you can create
smaller files but there will be a loss of
quality. You can store MP3 files on the
Microdrive™ (hard disk) using the supplied SCM (write-/ read device). For further details, please read the chapter entitled “Write-/ read device”.
You can connect the COMP ACT DRIVE
MP3 Player to many Blaupunkt car radios. For further details, please read the
chapter entitled “Compatibility with Blaupunkt car radios”.
