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

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

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.

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.

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 AAUD.
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.
