Important notes
What you need to know
Before using your new car radio, please read through 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. Should the traffic situation become particu­larly demanding, we advise you not to use the radio. Always make sure that you are still able to hear any warning signals coming from out­side the vehicle, such as police or fire en­gine sirens, so that you can react accord­ingly. Consequently, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car radio while you are driving.
Installation
If you would like to install your new car ster­eo yourself or add other audio components to existing ones, then please read the en­closed instructions on installation and con­nection carefully.
In order to ensure that the set operates prop­erly the positive power supply line must be connected via the ignition and the perma­nent +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!
Telephone mute
If you have installed a mobile telephone in your vehicle, radio or CD playback can be muted automatically when you use the phone (telephone mute).
“PHONE” will then appear in the display. If TA is active, traffic messages will always
have priority. To end the announcement before it has finished press the TA button.
Accessories
Use Blaupunkt-approved accessories and spare parts only.
You can use the following Blaupunkt prod­ucts with this car stereo:
Amplifier
All Blaupunkt amplifiers
Remote control
With the infrared remote control RC 06 you can control all of the important functions of your car hi-fi system from the steering wheel.

KeyCard theft protection system
This car radio includes one KeyCard as standard equipment, but it can also be op­erated with a second card.
If you have lost your KeyCard or if it was damaged, you can buy a new one from your specialised dealer.
If you use 2 KeyCards, the settings stored on the first card will be transferred to the second. However, you can store the follow­ing functions individually for each card:
Preset button assignments, bass, treble, balance and fader settings, Loudness, TA (traffic announcement volume), beep vol­ume, LOW-EQ, HIGH-EQ.
In addition, the settings which are activated before you switch the radio off, such as the waveband, station, TA priority, AF, REG ON/ OFF, SCANTIME, seek tuning sensitivity, VOL FIX and SHARX will also remained stored.
This ensures that you will find your basic settings re-adjusted automatically as soon as you have inserted your KeyCard.
Operating the unit
Turn on the set. With the KeyCard tongue protruding out of the unit, insert the KeyCard into the slot with the contact area facing up in the middle of the area.
The car radio is now ready for operation. If a wrong KeyCard is inserted, then “CARD
ERR” will appear in the display. In this case please do not make any further adjustments.
The system will switch off by itself after ap­proximately 10 seconds.
If another card type is inserted (e.g. phone or credit card), the display will show “WRONG KC” for approximately 2 seconds.
Remove the wrong card and insert the cor­rect KeyCard.
After the display indications “CARD ERR” or “WRONG KC”:
Press ON to turn on the set.
Removing the KeyCard
Pull the KeyCard forward and remove it.
“Training” a second KeyCard/ Replacing a KeyCard
When the unit is operated with the first Key­Card, you can “train” a second one which can also be used with the set.
To “train” a second KeyCard:
Insert the first KeyCard and turn on the set.
Press the DSC button and select “LEARN KC” by pressing
Press << or >>.
The display will switch to “CHANGE”.
Remove the first KeyCard and insert the new one while “CHANGE” still ap­pears in the display.
After the display indication “READY” or “LEARN KC”,
press DSC.
Now you can also use the new KeyCard to operate your car stereo.
A maximum of 2 cards can be used for the set.
If you attempt to “train” a third one, the ac­cess authorisation for the KeyCard not used for the “training” process will be deleted au­tomatically.

The freely selectable text with a maximum of 48 characters can be programmed by all dealers who have the required equipment available.
The programmed text will be displayed each time you turn on your system with the sec­ond KeyCard.
Optical indication for extra theft protection
Flashing KeyCard tongue
When the vehicle is stationary and the Key­Card removed, the KeyCard tongue can be switched to flash for extra anti-theft securi­ty.
For this to operate properly, the positive power supply line and the permanent +12 V lead must be connected as described in the installation instructions.
Be sure that “LED ON” has been selected in the DSC mode.
If necessary, please refer to the section on “DSC programming - LED”.
Switching off the flashing light
If you would like to deactivate the flashing tongue in general, select “LED OFF” in the DSC menu.
Care of your KeyCard
To ensure that the KeyCard always func­tions properly it is important that the con­tacts remain free of any foreign particles. Avoid direct skin contact.
If necessary, clean the KeyCard contacts using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alco­hol.
38
Selecting the operating mode
Using the SRC (source) button you can switch between the radio and CD audio sources.
The CD mode is not available unless a disc is inserted.
To switch between the modes,
press SRC briefly.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System will enhance your enjoyment when you listen to FM radio sta­tions.
More and more radio stations have begun to broadcast RDS information along with their regular programming.
As soon as a programme has been identi­fied, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis­play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro­gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the preset buttons become programme buttons. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired sta­tion quickly.
But RDS offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function makes sure that the radio always tunes into the strongest frequency of the currently se­lected programme automatically.
This function is activated when “AF” appears in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
press the AF button briefly. While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when the radio is switched on or one of the stored frequencies recalled, the unit is already au­tomatically searching for an alternative fre­quency.
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has run through completely.
If the reception quality of the selected pro­gramme deteriorates beyond a certain point:
Tune into another station.
REG - regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at times into regional programmes offering lo­cal information. The 1st programme broad­cast by NDR, for example, offers pro­grammes with different contents in the north­ern German states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times of the day.
If you are listening to a particular regional programme and wish to continue doing so,
press the AF button for approximately 2 seconds. “REG ON” will appear in the display.
If you leave the service area of the regional programme you are tuned into, or if you

would like to take advantage of full RDS service, switch to “REG OFF”.
Press the AF button for approximately 2 seconds until “REG OFF” appears.
“REG ON” or “REG OFF” will appear briefly in the display each time the radio is switched on.
Selecting a waveband
With this car radio you can select between the following wavebands:
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz MW 531 - 1602 kHz LW 153 - 279 kHz
Select the desired waveband by press­ing the BND button.
Note:
In the DSC menu it is possible to block MW or LW or both wavebands for station selec­tion. The advantage of doing this is that only the required wavebands can be selected and it is no longer necessary to press BND so of­ten. If necessary, refer to the section on “DSC programming – AM ON or AM OFF”.
Station tuning

The currently selected memory bank is in­dicated in the display.
Press the BND button as many times as necessary until the desired memory bank lights up in the display.
Storing stations
On FM, you can store six stations on the preset buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for each of the memory banks I, II and T.
On MW/LW, you can also store six stations each.
Select the appropriate waveband by pressing BND.
Tune in a station with the rocker switch (either automatically << >>).
/ or manually

The scan time can be selected from between 5 to a maximum of 30 seconds.
If you would like to alter the scan time, please refer to the section on “DSC program­ming - SCANTIME”.
Selecting the seek tuning sensi­tivity
You can alter the automatic seek tuning sensitivity. If “lo” is displayed, the radio will only pick up strong, local stations (low sensitivity). If “lo” does not light up, the radio will also pick up weaker, more distant stations (high sensitivity). If you would like to alter the sensitivity level please refer to the section on “DSC program­ming – LO-DX”).
Switching from stereo to mono
(FM)
Using the DSC menu you can switch from stereo to mono reception. If reception is poor, you may get better sound quality by switching to mono. When the radio is switched on, it automatically selects stereo reception.
As reception deteriorates, the radio will grad­ually switch to mono.
If you would like to switch to mono recep­tion manually, please refer to the section on “DSC programming – STEREO/MONO”.
The display will briefly indicate the mode selected.
Adjusting the bandwidth (FM)
In the DSC menu, you can use the SHARX function to adjust the bandwidth in the FM frequency range. This can be a great ad­vantage when there is a large number of stations within your current reception range.
Interference with strong adjacent stations can be reduced to an absolute minimum if you activate “SHARX ON”.
If necessary, refer to “DSC programming – SHARX”.
PTY - Programme Type
PTY is an RDS service which an increasing number of more broadcasting stations have begun to offer. This feature allows you to select FM stations according to their pro­gramme type.

Now the selected programme type can be recalled by pressing this preset. “PTY” must appear in the display to indicate that the function is active.
Scanning stations with PTY SCAN
Requirement: “PTY” must appear in the dis­play.
Press the SC button.
All of the stations in your current reception area offering the selected programme type will be scanned.
To switch off PTY-SCAN:
Press SC or the seek-tuning rocker switch once again.
PTY priority
Situation: PTY is switched on and lights up in the dis-
play. No station offering the selected programme
type can be found currently in your recep­tion range (with seek tuning or scan).
The set will switch back to the station previ­ously tuned into.
As soon as it is possible to receive a pro­gramme in the broadcasting network with the PTY selected, the radio will switch over to the corresponding station for the dura­tion of the programme.
Example: German broadcasting network
NDR:
- Station playing: NDR3.
- “PTY” lights up in the display.
- Programme type “POP” selected.
- Seek tuning is started.
- No station with “PTY-POP” can be found.
- The display shows “NO PTY” and
- automatically switches back to NDR3.
- NDR2 airs a “PTY-POP” programme.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
- The radio will switch to the linked sta­tion NDR2 for the duration of the “POP” programme.
During CD operation, the set will also switch to the programme offering the selected PTY within the broadcasting network.
After the PTY programme has ended the system will switch back to the previous mode (radio or CD).
Note:
As already mentioned, these functions are only supported by a limited number of RDS stations at the present time.
The abbreviation “EON” stands for En­hanced Other Networks, which means that information is exchanged within a radio net­work.
Many FM radio stations provide their serv­ice area with traffic messages at regular in­tervals.
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro­gramme stations transmit a special carrier signal, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, “T” will appear in the display (Traffic programme).
In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic infor­mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to forward the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic pro­gramme station in the same radio network.
If you want to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “A” must appear on the display panel.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.
Traffic announcement priority on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement pro­grammes is activated, “A” will light up in the display.
To switch the priority on or off:
Press the TA button. If you press TA while a message is being
broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previ-
ous mode. The priority for other traffic mes­sages remains active.
Please note that several buttons have no function while a traffic announcement is broadcast.
Warning beep
If you leave the reception area of the traffic programme station currently tuned into, you will hear a warning beep after approximate­ly 30 seconds.
This alarm tone will also be emitted if you press a preset button for a station which does not send the traffic information signal.

This car stereo is equipped with a built-in clock which automatically takes advantage either of RDS or the DCF 77 signal (control signal for atomic clocks, used in special cas­es), to ensure highly accurate time-keeping (hours, minutes).
For the clock to function properly with RDS, an RDS station with the CT function (CT – clock time) must be received.
The automatic correction of the time or just the hours using DCF 77 can be switched off.
Switching DCF 77 on/off:
Press DSC for approximately 2 sec­onds.
If the display shows “DCF77 ON”, DCF 77 is active.
If the display shows “NO DCF77”, DCF 77 is inactive.
Setting the clock
a) automatically
The clock is set automatically when the radio is tuned into an RDS station which has the “CT” function (clock time).
If the RDS signal is not received for a week, the radio will attempt to use
DCF 77 to adjust the clock to the cor­rect time the next time the radio is switched off. Condition: DCF 77 is switched on.
“CLK SYNC” will appear in the display for 20 seconds and you will hear a melody (Big Ben) to indicate that the radio is still active and that the power antenna (if connected) is still extend­ed.
If it is not possible to receive the DCF 77 signal, the radio will switch off after a few seconds.
b) manually with DSC-CLOCKSET
Press DSC briefly, “CLOCKSET” will appear in the display.

Warning note
Danger of damaging the automatic power antenna in a car wash
If your vehicle is equipped with an automat­ic power antenna, it might still remain fully extended after you have turned the radio off in order to synchronise the time with DCF
77. Before you drive into a car wash
switch the radio off by pressing the ON button. The power antenna will retract, if it doesn’t, press ON again.
DCF 77 will remain inactive for as long as the radio is switched off.
Do not drive into the car wash unless the power antenna has retracted!
After you leave the car wash “DCF 77” will reactivate when you switch the radio on again.

Setting the equaliser
The acoustic characteristics of the car inte­rior affect the quality of the sound repro­duced in your vehicle to a much greater ex­tent than the speakers.
Position, installation and the rear volumes of, for example, the door or rear window shelf all play an important role.
Even the sound produced by well selected and installed speakers can be affected neg­atively by resonance frequencies in the ve­hicle interior.
As a result, the bass sounds may be lost or reverberate, the mid-range tones sound too overpowering and music instruments or voices may be distorted or the total sound quality may be completely lifeless.
The overall sound quality can be greatly enhanced if certain frequencies are sup­pressed or boosted.
This car stereo is equipped with 2 paramet­ric filters. The first filter “LOW EQ” can be set from 32 to 500 Hz, the second filter “HIGH EQ” from 630 to 10000 Hz. In this context, parametric means that it is possi­ble to set the frequency and either boost or reduce it (+10 to –20 dB) individually for each of these filters.
These parametric filters can be adjusted to very exact settings even without the help of measuring instruments.
The individual steps you have to take to make these settings are described in the table.
Notes on making the settings
The following notes are intended as recom­mendations only. They do not necessarily reflect your own personal sound preferenc­es.
We recommend that you use a music CD you are familiar with to make the settings.
The CD should include tracks with different instruments and vocals. Purely electronic music is not well suited to serve as a basis for making the settings because the original sounds cannot be determined.
Before you set the equaliser, set bass, tre­ble, balance and fader to “0”.
This setting is described in the Quick Refer­ence under A AUD.
Now listen to the CD you have selected. Evaluate the sound according to your own
personal preferences. Now refer to “Sound impression/problem” in
the table and you will find suggestions to eliminate any problems under “What to do”.
Make the settings for bass and the lower mid-range tones with the LOW EQ filter,
select HIGH EQ for treble and mid-range tones.
The “HIGH EQ” and “LOW EQ” filters can be set in the DSC menu:
Press DSC.
Press “HIGH EQ” or “LOW EQ” appears in the display.
Press << or >> once and
Set the level in the following table by pressing
Press << >> to switch the frequency range.
Press
You can switch the equaliser on and off by pressing AUD for approximately 2 seconds.
Now you can compare the sound produced by your car stereo with and without the equaliser.
