Important notes

Precautions

Before starting to use your new car radio,
please read 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 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 ster­eo yourself or add other audio components
to existing ones, then please read carefully
the enclosed instructions on installation and
connection.
In order to ensure that the set operates prop­erly it is necessary that the positive power
supply line is connected via the ignition and
the permanent +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

Telephone mute

If you have a mobile telephone installed in
your vehicle, radio or CD playback can be
muted automatically when using the phone
(telephone mute).
“PHONE” will then appear in the display.
When TA is active, traffic messages will al­ways have priority. The announcement will
be aborted by pressing the TA button.

PORTUGUÊS

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when listening to FM radio sta­tions.
More and more radio stations have begun
to broadcast RDS information alongside
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).
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 strongest frequency of
the currently selected programme is always
tuned in automatically.
This function is activated when “AF” appears
in the display.

In order to switch this function on or off,

• press the AF button briefly.
While searching for the strongest reception

signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.

If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
switching on the radio or recalling 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 reception quality of the selected pro­gramme becomes too bad:

• 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 Schleswig­Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at
certain times of the day.
If you are listening to one programme and
move to an area where another linked re­gional programme becomes stronger, the
unit will switch to that programme.
If you wish to continue listening to the first
programme,

• press the AF button for approximately
two seconds.
“REG ON” appears in the display.

If you leave the service area of the regional
programme tuned into, or if you would like
to take advantage of the full RDS service,
switch to “REG OFF”.

• Press the AF button for approximately
two seconds until “REG OFF” appears.

“REG ON” or “REG OFF” will be briefly dis­played each time the radio is switched on.

Selecting a waveband

With this car radio you can select between
the following wavebands:
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz
MW 531 - 1602 kHz
LW 153 - 279 kHz

• Select the desired waveband by press­ing the FM

To toggle between MW and LW:

• Press M•L.

T or M•L button.

Station tuning

You can use the << >> buttons to tune in
stations of your reception area.
If several programmes of the broadcasting
networks can be received, you can scroll
through them in forwards direction pressing
>>, or backwards using the << button, e.g.
NDR 1, 2, 3, 4, N-JOY, FFN, ANTENNE ...
For this it is necessary that the stations have
been tuned in at least once and that “AF” is
active (lights up in the display).
For this purpose, you may start Travelstore
seek operation:

• Press FM

T for two seconds; the sys-

tem starts to run through the frequency
band.

If “AF” does not light up,

• press AF.

You can shift between the memory banks I,
II and T in order to store stations and recall
them later.
The currently selected memory bank is in­dicated in the display.

• Press the FM

T button as many times

until the desired memory bank lights
up in the display.

Storing stations

On FM, you can store six stations on the
preset buttons 1-6 for each of the memory
banks I, II and T.

Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON

During CD or CDC operation, the set will
also switch to the programme offering the
selected PTY within the broadcasting net­work.
After the PTY programme the system will
remain in the radio mode.

Notice:

As earlier mentioned, these functions are
currently only supported by a limited number
of RDS stations.

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 alongside 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 offer the possibility 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 TA button.

When pressing TA while a message is be­ing broadcast, this message will be interrup­ted. The unit will then switch back to the pre­vious condition. 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 released when
pressing a preset button which has no traf­fic programme allocated to it.

Automatic seek tuning start

(CD and CDC operation)
When leaving the reception area of the tuned

in traffic programme station while listening
to a CD, the system will automatically start
searching for a new TA programme.
If no such station is found within approxi­mately 30 seconds, CD operation will be
stopped and a warning beep will sound. To
switch the warning beep off, proceed as
described above.

Adjusting the volume for traffic
announcements and the warning
beep

This volume was preset at the factory,
though you can alter the value using the
DSC function (see “DSC programming,
TA VOL”).

Adjusting GEO for traffic mes­sages and the warning beep

You can separately adjust the balance and
fader settings for both traffic announcements
and the warning beep.
For example, it is possible to listen to traffic
reports via the front left (right) speaker only.
This provides the driver with the important
traffic information without bothering the rear
passengers too much.

To make a setting:

• During an announcement, adjust the
balance and fader settings to suit your
personal preferences.
