Important Notes

What You Should Read By All
Means!

Before starting to use your new car radio, you
should carefully read through the safety no­tes and the information about the ‘KeyCard’.

Safety Notes

Being the driver of a motor vehicle you should
dedicate your full attention to the traffic around
you. Therefore always use your car stereo
such that you are able to cope with the
present traffic situation in any moment.
In difficult driving situations you should turn
your set off. Please take into account that at
a speed of 50 km/h you are almost covering
a distance of 14 m per second!
When adjusting the volume, always make
sure that acoustic signals from the outside
can still be heard in order to be able to react
to alert signals just as it is required by the
present situation.
If you would like to mount or expand the unit
by yourself, you should by all means read
through the enclosed mounting and con­nection instructions before.
Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to
ground!
Only use the accessory and replacement
parts approved by Blaupunkt.

22

Due to the high output power of the output
stage, the metal housing of the set may heat
up considerably. Therefore never touch this
metal enclosure when removing the unit.

KeyCard

Your car radio is theft-protected and cannot
be operated without the KeyCard. Therefore,
other people cannot make use of your set.
Since it is not possible to utilize the car radio
with another KeyCard, it will be of no worth at
all for a thief - in case the KeyCard was
removed before.

Wrong KeyCard

If a wrong KeyCard is inserted, four dashes
are first represented on the display (‘----’)
before the indication changes to ‘CARD ERR’.
During this period the set cannot be operated
even with the right KeyCard.

● Remove the false card. Now the correct
card has to be inserted by all
means.

After the third false try it will take one hour
before the set can be operated with the
correct card. In the meantime, ‘----’ is indica­ted on the display.
After another 7 wrong attempts, the car ste­reo can only be put in operation by one of our
authorized service partners. For this, the car
radio passport has to be presented.

Switching the car stereo off during the waiting
period will set the waiting time to ‘zero’ after
the unit has been activated again.

KeyCard Lost

If you have lost your KeyCard or if it was
damaged, one of our authorized service part­ners will help you against presentation of
your car radio passport.
These service partners are designated by

) in the radio’s service register. If required,

(
call the service centre of your country for
detailed information about your local Key­Card service facility.

Telephone Connection

When operating a car telephone in your vehic­le, radio, CD or cassette reproduction can be
muted automatically.
For this, however, the car telephone must be
connected to the unit just as it is described in
the connection instructions.

Amplifier Section

ON/OFF

For switching the set on,

● turn button 1 clockwise and

● insert the KeyCard completely.

Your stereo is now ready for operation.

For switching the set off,

● Press the GEO button 2.
The display G a gives you BAL (Balan­ce) or FAD (Fader) plus a number bet­ween -9 and +9.

● Press the rocker switch <</>> I left/
right. The sound of the left and right
channel is balanced; the number on the
display changes between -9 and +9.
The display indication automatically
stops at ‘0’ (= sound of the left and right
channel is balanced).

Fader
For balancing the sound level front/rear (Fa­der):

● Press the GEO button 2.
The display G a gives you BAL (Ba-
lance) or FAD (Fader) plus a number
between -9 and +9.

Switching from Stereo to Mono

For switching from stereo to mono:

● Press the lo button 7 for more than
two seconds.
For stereo reproduction, the stereo sign

will light up on the display G f.

When switching the unit on, stereo sound
reproduction is adjusted.
When the signal strength gets poor, the set
will automatically switch to mono.

Loudness

At low volumes, the human ear shows redu­ced sensitivity to low frequencies, while me­dium and high frequencies can be perceived
better.
The loudness function compensates this phe­nomenon by boosting the low frequencies.
For activating or deactivating it:

● Press the LD button 4.
If the loudness is on, ‘LD’ is shown on
the display G i.

You can individually programme at which
level you want the set to start boosting the
basses (see chapter ‘Programming’).

24

In the FM mode, we generally recommend to
make use of the RDS service.
As soon as a programme can be identified,
the station logo and possibly the regional
identification, e.g. the German NDR1 NDS
(for Lower Saxony) appear on the display.
Withe RDS, the preset buttons become pro­gramme buttons. Now you know exactly
which programme your set has currently tu­ned in, making it thus very easy to choose the
desired station.

AF - Alternative Frequency

The AF function (Alternative Frequency) pro-
vides that the car stereo automatically tunes
in to the programme frequency which offers
the best reception quality.
This function is on, if AF lights up on the
display G h.
Switch AF on/off by

● pressing the AF button 6.
The radio reproduction is muted for a mo-

ment while searching for the frequency offe­ring the best reception quality of a program­me.

Selecting the Desired Waveband

With your car radio you have free choice from
the following wavebands:
FM (ultra-short wave; frequency-modulated),
MW (medium wave), and LW (long wave).

Selecting FM

● Briefly press the FM•T button F.
‘FM’ lights up on the display G b.

Selecting MW or LW

● Briefly press the M•L button D.
‘M’ for MW or ‘L’ for LW lights up on the

display G b.

For changing between MW and LW:

● Press M•L D once again.

If nothing else is indicated, the following
operating notes hold for all wavebands.

Manual Tuning

All stations can also be tuned in ‘manually’:

● Press the rocker switch <</>> I on
the left or the right. The frequency band
is scanned in small steps.

Reception of Regional Programs
(FM)

Many of the programs of the broadcasting
corporarations are split up into regional pro­grams at certain times. For example, the first
program of NDR (Northern German Broad­casting) provides the northern Federal Ger­man States of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg
and Lower Saxony with differing regional
programs at times.
If you receive a regional station and would
like to continue listening so that station:

● Keep the AF button 6 depressed for
longer than 2 seconds, until the display
G j briefly shows “REG”. The regional
function is activated.
This function is deactivated by pressing
the AF button for longer than 2 seconds
again. The “REG” indication disap­pears.

Adjusting the Station Seek
Sensitivity

You can change the seek tuning sensitivity in
the FM and M.L range.
For receiving only powerful nearby stations
(low sensitivity),

● press the lo button 7 until ‘lo’ illumi-
nates on the display G e.

If you would also like to search for weaker
stations (higher sensitivity):

● Press button lo 7 once again.
The ‘lo’ indication goes out in the dis­play G e.

The sensitivity level can be further varied in
both modes (see chapter ‘Programming’).

Memorizing a Station

You can memorize a station with each of the
preset buttons C.
For FM, each preset button C can be alloca-
ted four times, i.e. four stations can be stored
on one button. The display G c shows you
the corresponding assignments (I, II, III stand
for first, second, and third allocation; T stands
for Travelstore (for Travelstore information
see the following chapter)).
For jumping from one stored station to ano­ther:

● Press the FM•T button F.

For memorizing a station:

● Choose the storage level (only FM); for
this, press FM•T F until I, II, III, or T is
lit on the display G c.

● Tune in the station (see chapter Auto­matic/Manual Tuning of Stations).

● Press the desired preset button C until
the radio resumes play (approx. 2 se­conds) or BEEP is audible.
From the display G d you can see
which button is currently pressed.

Now the station is stored.

Note:

When tuning in an already stored station, the
display G c will show the corresponding
preset button for approx. three seconds. In
addition, for FM, the display G d will also
give you the storage level.

Automatically Storing the Stron­gest Stations

(Travelstore)

With Travelstore, you have the opportunity to
automatically store the six strongest FM sta­tions of your respective region and have
them sorted according to their signal strength.
This feature is of special use while travelling.

ESPAGÑOL

PORTUGUES

● Press the FM•T button F for at least
two seconds.
The set searches for the strongest FM
stations and sorts them on the ‘T’ stora­ge level (Travelstore). Once the pro­cess is finished, the car radio automati­cally tunes in to the strongest
station.

If required, it is also possible to manually
store a station on the Travelstore level. If less
than six stations can be received, the free
buttons are represented by dashes for a
short moment.

Activating a Stored Station

If required, the memorized stations can be
activated at a keystroke.

● Choose the storage level (only FM).
For this, press FM•T F until I, II, III, or
T lights up on the display G c.

● Briefly press the corresponding preset
button C.

Briefly Sampling a Station

(Radio Scan)

Starting with the currently tuned in station,
you can have the following ones briefly sam­pled for approx. eight seconds each.

26

● Press the Scan button 1 for approx.
1 sec.
The display G a gives you ‘SCAN’. If
the following station is found, it is repro­duced for approximately eight seconds.
The station’s frequency starts blinking
on the display G a; if it has already
been memorized, the corresponding
preset button starts blinking on the dis­play G d. In addition, for FM stations,
the storage level indicator lights up on
the display G c. Then the set starts
searching for the next station.

For selecting a sampled station:

● Press the Scan button 1 once again.
The Scan function is off.

After the search operation has been con­cluded, and no station has been chosen, the
radio starts playing the station from which
Radio Scan was started before.

Sampling Memorized Stations
with PS

All memorized stations of a waveband can be
briefly sampled.

● Press the PS button B.
The car radio will then start introducing
all memorized stations of the selected
waveband one after another.
If no station is stored on a preset but­ton, this button is skipped.

If you want to cancel this function:

● Press the PS button B once again.
The radio keeps playing the sampled
station.

Reception of Traffic Program­mes with RDS-EON

Various FM broadcasters transmit traffic an­nouncements at some time of the day. Your
radio identifies these traffic programme sta­tions and gives the TP indication - Traffic
Programme - on the display G l. Other radio
networks do not air traffic messages by them­selves, but transmit the TP code of another
radio network with traffic information service
(e.g. BBC2).
If the ARI function is activated (ARI illumina­tes on the display G n), your radio will auto­matically switch to the traffic programme
station (e.g. GLR) for the duration of the
traffic announcement and will switch back
again to the previous station (BBC2) after the
end of the message. Traffic messages are
‘put through’ with a preset volume, the level
of which can be programmed (see chapter
‘Programming’). The set automatically inter­rupts cassette or CD playback and resumes
play as soon as the message is over.

Tape Section

Switching Traffic Messages (ARI) On
and Off

This function allows you to mute all the stati­ons which do not broadcast traffic announce­ments.
For switching ARI on and off

● Press the ARI button E.
If traffic radio is on, ‘ARI’ lights up on
the display G n.

If you press the ARI button when listening to
a traffic message, the ARI priority is deactiva­ted for this message. The radio switches over
to the operating mode which was activated
before the traffic message. But ARI priority
remains activated for the further traffic mes­sages.
If your radio is tuned to a station without ARI
code, the acoustic alarm will be produced
after approx. 4 seconds.

● Tune to another station.

When pressing the ARI button while listening
to an MW or LW station, the unit automatical­ly switches to the FM traffic station tuned in
last.

Acoustic Alarm

When leaving the coverage area of the tuned
in traffic station, your car radio automatically
sends out an acoustic alarm after approxima­tely 30 seconds.
This alarm tone can also be heard when
pressing a preset button with no ARI station
allocated to it.
For switching off the acoustic alarm,

● search for a new station (see chapter
‘Tuning in a Station Automatically’). The
set will then start searching for the next
traffic station.

Automatic Start of the Station Seek
Operation

(cassette playback)
When leaving the coverage area of the tuned
in traffic station, your car radio will automati­cally start searching for a new traffic station
while you are listening to your cassette.
During the seek operation, an alarm tone is
sent out.

Inserting a Tape

If you want to listen to a tape:

● Switch on the set.

● Insert the cassette halfway into the slot

with side 1 up and without applying
force; the cassette will be loaded auto­matically.

still repeat the previous track up to eight
seconds after the new one has started.

Note:

It is only possible to skip or repeat songs if the
in-between blanks are at least three seconds
long.

Care Notes

We recommend C-60 and C-90 type tapes
for use in any automobile tape player; to
protect your tapes, store them in a cool place
away from dirt, dust, or excessive temperatu­res above 50° Celsius. In order to ensure
smooth tape operation, cold tapes should be
allowed to heat up a bit before they are
played. If dust collects on the audio head or
the rubber roller, problems related to rough
tape operation or poor sound quality may
occur after approx. 100 hours of operation.

For normal contamination, use a head­cleaning cassette to remove the dust; for
more intensive contamination, use a cotton­wool tip soaked with alcohol. Never use hard
tools!

This car radio gives you the opportunity to
remote control a Blaupunkt CD changer (e.g.
CDC-M1, -M3, -A03*, -F03*).
For detailed information about how to
operate the CD Changer, please refer to
the operating instructions of your changer.
