Radio Reception with DAB
The D-FIRE 01, used in conjunction with the
Blaupunkt car radios STOCKHOLM RCM
128, SYDNEY RCM 128 and TORONTO
RDM 128, enables you to receive DAB
(Digital Audio Broadcasting).
With DAB, you can enjoy radio in digital
sound quality.
Unlike conventional radio, DAB always
transmits several programmes on a single
frequency. These programmes are grouped
to form so-called “ensembles”, one ensemble always consisting of several, usually six,
programmes. At the same time, one programme can also include up to 12 subprogrammes. A sports station, for example,
could broadcast subprogrammes about different sporting events at one and the same
time.
Other advantages DAB has to offer are:
NEWS and WEATHER:
Regular NEWS and WEATHER bulletins are
also broadcast in addition to the traffic announcements. You can have these announcements put through, i.e. when the
function is active, announcements received
by the D-FIRE 01 will be heard even when
the radio system is in cassette or CD mode.
The cassette or CD will be interrupted for
the duration of the announcement and play
resumed at the end of it. Traffic announcements are broadcast at the volume set for
traffic announcements (TA VOL).
Please consult your car radio manual for
details of how to adjust TA COL.
DAB-Regional (REG):
Since DAB frequencies are broadcast
across an extensive area of the country, you
may find that you are receiving traffic announcements irrelevant to the region in
which you are currently travelling. In order
to avoid this, the DAB transmission areas
are subdivided into regions. If you wish to
receive announcements for a specific region, select REG ALL. If you wish to hear
only supraregional announcements, please
select REG NONE.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC):
Some radio stations transmit not only their
own programme but also information which
enables your D-FIRE 01 to adjust the volume in your car to suit the programme received. This makes it possible, for example
when classical music is playing, to raise the
volume of quiet passages so that they can
also be heard in the car.
This sound adjustment depends upon the
information transmitted by the radio stations
and is only possible if the information is supplied. If you would like sound adjustment,
please select DRC = ON, if not, DRC = OFF.
The NEWS, WEATHER, REG and DRC
settings are selected in the DSC menu of
your car radio. Please consult your car radio instructions for details of how to find the
DSC menu and make adjustments.
NB: As the D-FIRE 01 is operated solely via
the car radio, please also read the car radio
instructions carefully when you wish to use
your D-FIRE 01.

Important Notes
Operating Instructions
What you should not fail to read
Before switching on your car radio, please
read the following notes carefully.
Road Safety
Road safety is paramount, so you should
always ensure that your car radio does not
impair your ability to respond to any given
traffic situation. We advise you not to use
the radio in critical situations.
You should always be able to hear police or
fire service warning signals, for example,
clearly and in good time.
Please therefore only listen to your selected programme at a reasonable volume when
driving.
Danger: As there is no background
noise with DAB, the radio remains
silent when in the search mode. To
avoid the driver being shocked when reception begins, the volume cannot be raised at
the car radio during the search run. If you
have a remote control, on no account should
you use it to raise the volume in such a case.
Installation
Before installing or extending the system
yourself, please read the installation and
connecting instructions at the end of the
operating instructions.
Switching On and Off
Select the DAB mode using the SRC key.
“DAB” appears on the display for 2 seconds.
If you switch off your radio while in the DAB
mode, it will be called up again when you
switch back on.
The DAB receiver is now active and the last
programme set being played. The name of
the set programme (programme display)
appears on the display. If DAB reception is
not possible, “NO ENS” appears on the display, alternating with the set frequency.
Frequency Display
The current programme name is always
shown on the display when DAB programmes are being received. Press to
display the channel currently set. You can
switch back to the programme display using the << >> keys on the rocker switch.
If no key is pressed within three seconds,
the display returns automatically to the programme display.
Ensemble Display
Press to switch to the ensemble name
display. The name of the current ensemble
appears on the display for three seconds.
You can switch back to the programme display using the << >> keys on the rocker
switch. If no key is pressed within three seconds, the display returns automatically to the
programme display.
Frequency Tuning

Manual Tuning
You can stop the search run at any time by
briefly pressing the << >> keys to set the
channel manually.
If there is no ensemble available at the set
frequency, “NO ENS” appears on the display, alternating with the set frequency.
If you set an ensemble which does not fulfil
the traffic announcement and programme
criteria you have selected, the ensemble
name and frequency will appear alternately
on the display. No programme will be set.
Selecting an Ensemble
You can also make a direct selection of
known, receivable ensembles. An ensemble is “known” when it has been received at
least once before or when information about
other ensembles is passed to the receiver
via DAB. The ensembles most recently received are saved and therefore known.
• Press the rocker switch keys
twice to select the next or previous
known ensemble.
/
“ENS ” or “ENS ” then appears on the display. Once the next ensemble has been
found, the ensemble display appears first
of all and the first programme is played. If
the ensemble located does not contain any
programmes with the selected criteria, e.g.
TA or PTY, the search continues after three
seconds.
If no other known ensemble can be received,
the frequency search is started.
NB: On long journeys, it may be necessary
to carry out a frequency search or DABSCAN (see “Scanning all Receivable Programmes”) in order to receive new ensembles, thus making them known to the radio
system.
Selecting a Programme
To select a programme while the radio is
playing, please press the << >> keys of the
rocker switch. The set then switches to the
next or the previous programme. Press the
rocker switch several times to browse

ensemble in ascending or descending order. when the last programme in an ensemble is reached, the search is resumed at the
first.
Selecting Subprogrammes
If a programme contains subprogrammes,
the first subprogramme will be tuned in following programme selection. In addition, the
name of the subprogramme, if one exists,
appears for three seconds on the display.
You can only choose between the various
subprogrammes if the programme is stored
on a station button (see “Storing Programmes”).
When the programme has been stored,
• press the station button briefly.
The subprogrammes are selected one by
one in ascending order with each press of
the button. Once the last subprogramme has
been reached, the research is resumed at
the first.
