Road safety

Road safety has absolute priority. Only operate your COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player if the road and traffic conditions allow you to do so. Familiarise yourself with the unit before setting off on your journey. You should always be able to hear police, fire and ambulance sirens from afar. For this reason, set the volume of whatever you are listening to to a reasonable level.

s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert CD audio data to MP3, you can create smaller files but there will be a loss of quality. You can store MP3 files on the Microdrive™ (hard disk) using the supplied SCM (write-/ read device). For further details, please read the chapter entitled “Write-/ read device”.

You can connect the COMP ACT DRIVE MP3 Player to many Blaupunkt car radios. For further details, please read the chapter entitled “Compatibility with Blaupunkt car radios”.
