Important notes

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! This
will result in damage to the unit output sta­ges.

Accessories (optional)

Use only Blaupunkt-approved accessories
and spare parts. You can use the following
Blaupunkt products with this audio system:

Theft protection system / Release panel

To best protect your car audio system from
theft, this unit has been equipped with a de­tachable control panel.

Detaching the release panel

Press the REL button on the top left of the
radio to release the control panel. Then re­move the panel. You can remove the panel
regardless of whether the unit is switched
off or on.

Attaching the release panel

Slide the panel into the guide points on the
right of the radio unit and then press the left
side into the locking position gently until it
snaps into place. Make sure that you do not
press directly on the display.

The audio system will switch on in the ope­rating mode last used before the panel was
removed.

Care of the control panel

After you have removed the release panel,
protect it from any form of rough handling.
Make sure it does not come into contact with
any type of fluids. Store it away from direct
sunlight and other sources of heat. The con­nection contact strip which is visible on the
rear side of the panel must be in perfect
condition to ensure that the system is able
to function properly.

It is highly advisable to store the control
panel in the protective case provided.

Fixing the release panel

To prevent unauthorised persons from re­moving the release panel, e. g. from a car
audio systems showroom, you can fix the
release panel to the chassis permanently to
lock it into place. Screw the enclosed bolt
into the hole on the left hand side of the unit
when the release panel is in place, see ar­row.

30

Selecting the operating
mode

Use the SRC (source) button to select bet­ween radio and CD.
The CD mode is not available unless a CD
has been inserted.
Otherwise, “No CD” will appear in the dis­play.
Press SRC to switch between the operating
modes.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System enhances your en-
joyment when you listen to FM radio stati­ons.
More and more radio stations now broad­cast RDS information along with their regu­lar programming.
As soon as radio programmes are 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” function makes sure that the radio
always tunes into the strongest frequency
for the currently selected programme auto­matically.
Press the AF.TA button for approximately 2
seconds, until you hear a beep and “AF”
appears in display field 3.
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.
The display will briefly indicate whether this
function is switched on or off with “REG ON”
or “OFF” when you switch on the “AF”
function.

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 only 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 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

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.

or
b) Switch off the priority for traffic an-

nouncements:

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

Automatic seek tuning start

(CD mode)

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 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.

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”).
