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 components 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 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.

Release panel
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 doesn’t,
press ON again.
Do not drive into the car wash unless the
power antenna has retracted!
Accessories
Use only Blaupunkt-approved accessories
and spare parts.
Remote control unit (not included with the
unit, sold seperately)
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 panel’s 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.

Selecting the operating
mode
Use the SRC (source) button to select between radio and cassette mode.
To select the operating mode:
• Press SRC.
28
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 und
LW 153 – 279 kHz
(Coburg RCR 168 without MW, LW)
.
• Press the BA/TS button to select the
desired waveband.

can scroll through them in the forwards direction by pressing >>, or backwards using
the << button, e.g. NDR 1, 2, 3, 4.
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 BA/TS for 2 seconds; the system
will start to run through the frequency
band.
If "AF" is not lit up,

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON
During cassette operation, the set will also
switch to the radio programme if the selected PTY becomes available within the
broadcast network.
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, "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).
