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!

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.

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
and VOL FIX 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.

/ .

36

Displaying the radio pass data

Using the KeyCard supplied with your set
you can have the radio pass data such as
the model name, product number (7 6..) and
serial number indicated on the display pan­el.

Please refer to the section on “DSC pro­gramming - READ KC”.

Short Additional Memory
(S.A.M.)

The second KeyCard available from your
specialised dealer allows you to have short
information read out and moved through the
display, such as the phone number of your
car dealer or the emergency call number of
your automobile association.

Please refer to the section on “DSC pro­gramming - READ KC”.

The freely selectable text with a maximum
of 162 characters can be programmed by
all dealers who have the required equipment
available.

Turn On Message (T.O.M.)

The second KeyCard available from your
specialised dealer also allows you to dis­play a special turn-on message each time
the radio is switched on.

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.

PORTUGUÊS

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

38

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

Automatic tuning /

You can use the << >> buttons to tune into
stations in your reception area.

If it is possible to receive several pro­grammes in the same broadcasting network,
you can scroll through them in the forwards
direction by pressing >>, or backwards us­ing the << button, e.g. NDR 1, 2, 3, 4, N-

JOY, FFN, ANTENNE ... .

For this to work properly you must have al­ready tuned into the stations at least once
and “AF” must be active (lights up in the dis­play).

To do this, you can start the Travelstore seek
operation:

• Press BND for 2 seconds; the system
will start to run through the frequency
band.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON

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 previ­ous 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.

44

Switching the warning beep off

a) Tune into another station offering traf-

fic information:

• Press the rocker switch or

• press a preset button which has a
traffic programme station allocated
to it.

Alternatively:
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-

nouncements:

• Press TA.
“A” will disappear from the display.

Automatic seek tuning start

(CD operation)

If you leave the reception area for the traffic
programme station you have tuned into while
you are listening to a CD, the system will
automatically start searching for a new TA
programme.
If no such station is found within approxi­mately 30 seconds, a warning beep will
sound every 30 seconds. To switch the
warning beep off, proceed as described
above.

Adjusting the volume for traffic
announcements and the warning
beep

Although this volume was preset at the fac­tory, you can use the DSC function to alter
the setting (see “DSC programming - TA
VOL”).

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.

• Press << >> to set the hours/min­utes. You can move to a different
position by pressing

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.

48

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 a paramet­ric “LOW EQ” filter, which can be set from
50 to 200 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 this filter.

This parametric filter 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.

The “LOW EQ” filter can be set in the DSC
menu:

• Press DSC.

• Press

/ as often as necessary until

“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

to store your settings.

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.
