What you need to know
Before using your new car audio system, 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 audio system 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 audio system.
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 au­dio system while you are driving.
Installation
If you would like to install your new car ste­reo yourself or add other audio compon-
ents to existing ones, then please read the enclosed instructions on installation and connection carefully.
In order to ensure that the unit 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 car telephone in your vehicle, it is possible to automatically mute the radio and cassette or CD playback when you use the telephone (telephone mute). "PHONE" will then appear in the display. Traffic announcements continue to have priority if you have activated TA. You can interrupt traffic messages by pressing
AF·TA.
Warning note
Danger of damage to the automatic power antenna in a car wash. Before you drive into a car wash
switch the radio off by pressing the ON button. The power antenna will retract, if it doesnt, press ON again. Do not drive into the car wash unless the power antenna has retracted!

Remote control unit
The RC 08 infrared remote control unit al­lows you to conveniently operate the most important functions from the steering wheel.
Theft protection
This unit is equipped with a detachable con­trol panel. A car radio without a control pa­nel is worthless to thieves.
Protect your car audio system and detach the control panel when you leave your ve­hicle. Thanks to the release panels well­planned design, it is very easy to attach and detach.
Note:
Do not pull the release panel straight out from the chassis, but rather slide it to the left to detach it as illustrated below. Be sure not to drop the panel. Do not expose the release panel to direct sunlight or other heat sources. Do not expose it to moisture.
Detaching the release panel
Press the REL button to release the con­trol panel. Then remove the panel and in­sert it into the carrying case provided.
If the unit was still in operation, it will turn off now. All current settings will remain stored. If a cassette is inserted, it will remain in the unit.
The unit will turn on again automatically when you re-attach the release panel.
Attaching the release panel
Slide the panel (B) from the left along the guide of the chassis (A). Gently push the left side of the panel against the front of the chassis until it snaps into place.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System enhances your enjoyment when you listen to FM radio sta­tions.
More and more radio stations now 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 also offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function makes sure that the radio always tunes into the strongest frequency for the currently sel­ected programme automatically. If this function is activated, "AF" will appear in the display.
To switch AF on/off,
press the AF·TA button for a longer time.
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 programme selected 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 full advantage of RDS service, switch to "REG OFF" in the DSC mode.
Selecting a waveband
The following wavebands are available: UKW (FM) 87,5 – 108 MHz,
MW (AM) 531 – 1602 kHz and LW 153 – 279 kHz
Press the BA/TS button to select the desired waveband.
Station tuning

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. NDR3), "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 (NDR3) 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. 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 approx. 30 seconds. This warning 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
