Road safety
Road safety has absolute priority. Only operate your car sound system if the road and traffic conditions
allow you to do so. Familiarise yourself with the device before setting off
on your journey .
You should always be able to hear
police, fire and ambulance sirens in
good time from inside your vehicle.
For this reason, listen to your car
sound system at a suitable volume
level during your journey .
Safety notice
The car sound system and the
device’s control panel (flip-release
panel) heat up during use.
Therefore, when removing the fliprelease panel, only hold it by its nonmetallic surfaces. Allow the car
sound system to cool down first if you
want to uninstall the whole unit.

The RC 08, RC 10 or RC 10H remote
controls (available as optional accessories) allow you to access most of the
main functions of your car sound system safely and conveniently.
You cannot switch the device on/off using the remote control.

sound system, you can play the tracks
like normal CD music tracks.
The Compact Drive MP3 is operated in
a similar way to a CD-changer. Most of
the CD-changer functions can also be
used with the Compact Drive MP3.

sound system's loudspeakers. This requires that the mobile telephone is connected to the car sound system as described in the installation instructions.

navigation voice output will be “mixed
in” with the current audio source and
will be outputted over the car radio’s
loudspeakers.
This requires that the navigation system is connected to the car radio (as
described in the installation instructions)
and activated in the menu.
