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!
Warning note
Danger of damaging the automatic
power antenna in a car wash
Before you drive into a car wash
• switch the radio off by pressing the ON
button.

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 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·TA button until a beep is
emitted.
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,
select “REG ON” in the DSC mode.
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” in the DSC
mode.
Selecting a waveband
With this car radio you can select between
the following wavebands:
FM87,5 - 108 MHz
MW 531 - 1602 kHz
LW153 - 279 kHz
(Freiburg RCM 148, Kingston DJ without
MW, LW)
.
• Select the desired waveband by pressing the BA/TS button.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
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, “TP” 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. NDR4), “TA” 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 (NDR4)
afterwards.
Traffic announcement priority
on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement programmes is activated, “TA” will light up in
the display.
To switch the priority on or off:
• Press the AF·TA button. “TA” appears.
If you press AF·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 programme signal
(TP).
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.
“TA” will disappear from the display.
Automatic seek tuning start
(Cassette and CD changer operation)
If you leave the reception area for the traffic
programme station you have tuned into
while you are listening to a cassette or CD,
the system will automatically start searching for a new traffic 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.
