Important information
Anti-theft coding
What you need to know!
Before starting to use your new car radio you
should carefully read through the information
on “Traffic safety” and “Anti-theft coding”.
Traffic safety
Traffic safety has always priority. Use your
car radio in such a manner that you are
always able to cope with and react to the
prevailing traffic situation at any given time.
Remember, even at 50 km/h you are still
moving at a speed of 14 m per seconds.
It is also very important that you are able to
hear, and react to, acoustic warning signals
around you, for example from the police or
the firebrigade.
Therefore, adjust the volume reasonably.
Installation/connection
The code system can only be switched on
and off, if the radio is connected to permanent power.
If you 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.
Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to
ground!
Only use the accessory and replacement
parts approved by Blaupunkt.
The car radio comes standard with the code
system deactivated.
If the anti-theft coding system is on while the
power supply to the unit is interrupted (e.g.
theft, disconnecting the car battery), the set is
electronically blocked. Then it may only be
used again after the appropriate code number has been entered (see car radio passport).
Wrong code number entered
It should not be possible for thieves to ascertain the code number by trial-and-error. This
is why the set will be blocked for a certain
period of time, if an incorrect code number is
entered. In this case, “----” will appear in the
display.
This waiting time is 10 seconds after the first
three attempts, and 1 hour following subsequent attempts.
After 19 unsuccessful attempts, “OFF” will
appear in the display and the set can no
longer be restarted.
Note:
Keep you car radio passport with the code
number in a safe place in order to avoid
“unauthorized access” to your car radio.
20
If the power supply to the radio is interrupted
while the code system is switched on, you
need to know the right code number.
The radio will operate again as soon as you
have entered the right code number.
If you lose your radio passport and have
forgotten your code number, you will not be
able to restart the set after the power supply
has been interrupted. In this case, your radio
can only be reset in our central customer
service workshop or in one of our service
agencies abroad.
Switching the code system on
Precondition:
The radio must be connected to permanent
power.
In order to switch the code system on:

appears in the display.
• To confirm the code number:
Press the
switch
Your car radio is now ready for operation.
If four dashes appear again in the display,
you have entered a wrong code number.
Now it is essential to enter the correct code
after the waiting period has elapsed (CODE
in the display).
upper part of the rocker
.

PORTUGUES
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
To make radio reception even more convenient, an ever increasing number of FM radio
stations broadcast additional information in
parallel with their normal program via the
Radio Data System.
As soon as a radio program can be identified,
the station name and possibly also a regional
identifier will appear in the display, e.g.
“NDR1 NDS” (local radio program in Lower
Saxony, Germany).
With RDS, the preset buttons turn into program buttons. Now you know exactly to
which program your set is tuned in, making it
absolutely easy to find the desired station
quickly.
But RDS even offers you more advantages:
AF - alternative frequency
The AF function makes sure that the strongest frequency of the selected program is
always tuned in automatically.
This function is activated if “AF” lights up in
the display. You can then use the << / >>
rocker switch to scroll through the programs
of a radio network, e.g. from NDR1 to NDR4
(North German broadcaster) or to display the
entire AF memory.
To switch AF on/off:
• Press AF briefly.
During seek tuning for the frequency offering
the best reception of the selected program,
the radio is muted for a moment.
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
turning on the set or when calling up one of
the stored frequencies, the set 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 scanned completely.
Should the reception quality of the selected
program become too bad,
• tune into another program.
REG - Regional
The AF function can also be used to activate
and deactivate the regional function.
At some times of the day, larger radio stations split up their main program into regional
program versions offering local information.
If you want the radio to lock onto a regional
program,
• hold down the AF button for about 2
seconds.
The display will show “REG ON”.
If you leave the service area of the regional
station tuned in, or if you wish to use the
entire RDS service again, switch to “REG
OFF”.
• Hold down the AF button for about 2
seconds until “REG OFF” is displayed.
If “REG ON” is activated, the display will
show “REG ON” each time the radio is switched on.
22
Selecting a station
This set allows you to receive FM stations
between 87.5 and 108 MHz.
Automatic seek tuning
• Press / . The radio will automatically
tune into the following station.
If you keep the upper or lower part of the
rocker switch

Adjusting the seek tuning sensitivity
The set allows you to modify the seek tuning
sensitivity.
For this:
• Press lo briefly.
If “lo” is indicated, the radio will only pick up
strong stations (low sensitivity).
If “lo” is not indicated, the radio will also pick
up less powerful stations (higher sensitivity).
The degree of sensitivity can be separately
adjusted for both levels (see chapter “DSC
programming”).
Stereo - mono switch (FM)
You can switch to mono when the reception
quality becomes poor:
• Press lo for approximately 2 seconds.
During mono reception the stereo sym-
in the display will go out.
bol
Each time the car radio is switched on, the
radio will be automatically set to stereo
reception.
It will automatically switch to mono when the
reception quality becomes poor.

You can shift between the memory banks I
and II to store and recall preset stations.
The selected memory bank is indicated in the
display.
• Press FM until the desired memory
bank lights up in the display
(press repeatedly if necessary).
Storing stations
Using the preset buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 you

chapter “DSC programming - SCANTIME”.
24
Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON
(Enhanced Other Networks)
Many FM broadcasters provide their service
area with traffic messages at regular intervals.
All traffic program stations transmit a special
telegram signal in addition to the radio program, which is recognised and decoded by
the car radio. As soon as such a signal is
received, the display shows “TP” (Traffic
Program).
Other radio stations do not air traffic announcements by themselves, but offer the
possibility 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 comes in, your
radio will automatically switch to the traffic
program for the duration of the message and
return to the previous station after the end of
the message.
Priority of traffic announcements
ON/OFF
If the priority of traffic announcements is
activated, “TA” lights up in the display. To
switch the function on/off:
• Press the TA button.
When pressing TA while a traffic announce-
ment is being played, the radio stops playing
the message and switches to the previous
mode. The priority for all subsequent announcements remains active.
Warning beep
Whenever you leave the reception area of
the traffic program station you have tuned
into, you will hear a warning beep after approximately 30 seconds.
This warning beep will also be released when
pressing a preset button without traffic
program.
Switching the warning beep off
a) Tune to another traffic program station:
• Press the rocker switch 6, or
• press a preset button with a station
offering traffic information.
Alternative:
b) Switch the priority of traffic announce-
ments off:
• Press TA.
In the display, the “TA” indication goes out.
Automatic seek tuning start
(CD operation)
If you leave the reception area of your traffic
program while you are listening to a CD, the
car radio will automatically tune into another
traffic program station.
If no such traffic program station is found
within approximately 30 seconds, CD reproduction will be interrupted and you will hear a
warning beep. To switch off the warning
beep, proceed as detailed above.
Adjusting the traffic message
and warning beep volume
The traffic message and warning beep volume is adjusted at the factory. However, you
can change this default setting using the
DSC function (see “DSC programming - TA
LEVEL”).
