Important notes
Precautions
Before using your new car radio, please read
the following information carefully.
Traffic safety
Traffic safety always has the highest priority.
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 of the vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly.
Therefore, 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 radio 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 it is necessary for the positive power
supply line to be connected to the ignition
and the permanent +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!
Accessories
Use only the accessories and spare parts
approved by Blaupunkt.
You can use the following Blaupunkt products with this car radio:
Changer
CDC A 06 / A 072,
CDC A 05 / F 05
(adapter cable 7 607 889 093 is required)
Remote Control (optional)
The manual infrared remote control unit
permits use of the most important functions
in all operating modes.
Initial Start-up
A button cell has already been loaded by
the manufacturer. Once you pull the red strip
out completely, the remote control unit is
ready for use.
Condition: the instructions for installation
and connection have been observed.
Replacing the Button Cell
When the range of the remote control becomes limited, the button cell should be replaced.
To do this, release the battery holder in the
direction of the arrow and remove carefully.
Insert a new button cell and push the holder
in until it snaps into place.
Protect the Environment!
Used disposable and rechargeable batteries do not belong in the
household refuse!
Hand in at your specialist dealer’s or at a
collection unit for hazardous substances.

Antitheft protection
This car radio is supplied with inactive code
protection. In order to switch the security
coding system on, proceed as described on
the following pages.
If the coding system is active while the power
supply to the system is interrupted (e.g. theft,
disconnection of the car battery), the set will
be electronically blocked. In such a case it
can only be made operable again by entering the correct code number given in the car
radio pass.
Entry of a wrong code number
It should not be possible for a thief to find
out the correct code number by trial and error. This is why the set will be blocked for a
certain period of time after a wrong code
number has been entered. The display will
show “CODE ERR” and then “WAIT”.
After the first three unsuccessful attempts,
the system will shut down for 10 sec.; after
further attempts, the waiting time extends
to one hour.
After 19 unsuccessful attempts, the display
will show “OFF”. In this case you can no
longer restart the unit.
Note:
Keep your car radio pass with the code
number in a safe place in order to avoid “unauthorised access” to your car radio.
If the security code system is activated, the
unique code must be entered each time the
power supply was interrupted.
The radio will be operable again as soon as
you have entered the correct code.
If you have lost your radio pass and forgotten the code number, your radio can only
be restarted by one of our authorised service workshops. This is a chargeable service.
Switching on security coding
To activate the coding system:
• Turn off the radio.
• Press and hold down preset buttons 1
and 4 simultaneously, and
• switch the set on.
“CODE” will appear.
• Release preset buttons 1 and 4.
• Enter the code number given in the
Blaupunkt car radio pass and confirm
your entry as described in “Restart ...”
Now the security coding system is active.
The display will briefly show “CODE” each
time the set is turned on.
Re-start following an interruption of the power supply
(coding system is activated)
• Turn on the radio.
The display shows “CODE”.
• Briefly press preset button 1; the display shows “0000”.
• Enter the code number given in the
Blaupunkt car radio pass:
Example: The code number is 2521.
- Press preset button 1 twice; the dis-
play shows “2000”.
- Press preset button 2 five times; the
display shows “2500”.
- Press preset button 3 twice; the dis-
play shows “2520”.
- Press preset button 4 once; the dis-
play shows “2521”.
• To confirm the code number:
Press the rocker switch >.
If you have entered the correct code, the
unit will now be ready for use.
However, if the display shows “CODE ERR”
and then “WAIT”, you have entered a wrong
number. The unit will switch off when the
waiting time has elapsed. Turn it on again
and re-enter the correct code.
If you switch off the set while it is blocked,
the waiting time will start to count from zero
again as soon as the radio is turned back on.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when you listen to FM radio
stations.
More and more radio stations have begun
to broadcast RDS information along with
their programmes.
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).
If 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 strongest frequency of
the currently selected programme is always
tuned in automatically.
This function is activated if “AF” appears in
the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
• press the AF/TA button for approximately 1 sec.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
you switch the radio on or when you recall
one of the stored frequencies, the unit is
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 been
run through completely.
If the sound quality of the selected programme deteriorates appreciably:
• 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 states of Germany Schleswig-Holstein,
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times
of the day.
If you have tuned to a regional programme,
you can select between REG ON and REG
OFF:
REG ON – the radio keeps tuned to the current regional programme, even if the reception quality is getting poorer.
REG OFF – the radio automatically tunes
to the regional programme offering the best
reception quality (but maybe with local information for another service area).
If the REG function is active, “REG ON” will
be briefly displayed each time you turn the
radio on.
Selecting a waveband
You can select between the following wavebands:
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz
MW (AM) 531 - 1602 kHz
LW (L) 153 - 279 kHz
• Press the TS/BND button until the desired waveband shows on the display
panel.
Note:
In the DSC menu you can deactivate the
station selection on either MW or LW or for
both wavebands at the same time.
This has the advantage that only the required bands can be activated, so that you
must press the TS/BND button less often.
For more information, please refer to “DSC
programming - AM ON or AM OFF.

pick up weaker, distant stations.
Should you wish to alter the seek tuning
sensitivity, refer to chapter “DSC programming – LO/DX”.
Stereo - mono switching
The radio will only play in stereo if the stereo quality of the received station signal is
sufficient.
When the signal strength gets poor, the radio will gradually switch to mono.
You can select between stereo or mono
sound in the DSC menu.
For more information, refer to chapter “DSC
programming – STEREO/MONO”.
Each time the radio is switched on, stereo
sound is activated automatically.

Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
The abbreviation “EON” stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network.
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals.
All traffic programme stations transmit a
special carrier signal along with their programmes, 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 programmes themselves, but by using RDSEON they make it possible to receive the
traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio
network.
If you wish 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 AF/TA is pressed while a message is
broadcast, this message will be interrupted.
The unit will then switch back to the previous condition. The priority for all other traffic messages remains active.
Please note that several buttons have no
function while a traffic announcement is
broadcast.
Beep tone
If you leave the reception area of the traffic
programme station currently tuned into, you
will hear a beep tone approximately every
30 seconds.
This tone will also be released if a preset
button is pressed which has no traffic programme allocated to it.
Switching off the beep tone
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 AF/TA.
“TA” will disappear from the display.
Automatic seek tuning start
(tape and CD changer operation)
When you leave the reception area of the
tuned in traffic programme station while listening to a tape or CD, the system will automatically start searching for a new TA programme.
If no such station is found within approximately 30 seconds, tape operation will be
stopped and a beep tone will sound. To
switch off the beep tone proceed as described above.
34
Page 16
Tape operation
Adjusting the volume for traffic
announcements and the beep
tone
This volume was preset at the factory,
though you can alter the value using the
DSC function (see “DSC programming, TA
VOL”).
If the volume level is altered while a message is played, this will only affect the current announcement.

Listening to the radio during fast
tape winding with RM (Radio
Monitor)
During fast winding of the tape, i.e. when
the radio is normally muted, you can use
the RM function to listen to the radio.
For more information please refer to chapter “DSC programming – RM ON/OFF”.
Care notes
To avoid possible problems, we recommend
you to use C-60/C-90 type cassette tapes
only. Store your tapes in a cool place away
from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding
50 °Celsius. Allow very cold tapes to warm
up before playing them in order to avoid
uneven tape transport. After approximately
100 hours of use, dust particles collected
on the playback head or roller may lead to
tape run problems and sound distortions.
Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a
cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in alcohol. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting a hard object into the player!
