before installation

Notes:

• Choose the mounting location
where the unit will not interfere
with the normal driving function of
the driver.

• Before finally installing the unit,
connect the wiring temporarily
and make sure it is all connected
up properly and the unit and the
system work properly.

• Use only the parts included with
the unit to ensure proper installation.
The use of unauthorized parts
can cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer
if installation requires the drilling
of holes or other modifications of
the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not
get in the driver's way and cannot
injure the passenger if there is a
sudden stop, like an emergency
stop.

• If installation angel exceeds 30°
from horizontal, the unit might not
give its optimum performance.

• Avoid installing the unit where it
would be subject to high tem­perature, such as from direct
sunlight, or from hot air, from the
heater, or where it would be sub­ject to dust, dirt or excessive
vibration.

DIN FRONT/REAR-MOUNT

This unit be can properly installed
either from "Front" (conventional DIN
Front-mount) or "Rear" (DIN Rear­mount installation, utilizing theraded
screw holes at the sides of the unit
chassis). For details, refer to the
following illustrated installation
methods.

Take out screw before intallation

Before install the unit, please remove
the two screws.

DIN FRONT-MOUNT (METHOD A)
Installing Opening

This unit can be installed in any dash­board having an opening as show
below:

Installing the unit

Be sure you test all connections first,
and then follow the steps to install the
unit.

1. Make sure the ignition is turned
off, and then disconnect the cable
from

the vehicle battery's negativ

(-) terminal.

2. Disconnect the wire harness and
the antenna.

3. Press the release button on the
front panel and remove the
control panel (see the steps of
¨using the detachable front
panel¨).

4. Lift the top of the outer trim ring
then pull it out to remove.

5. The two supplied keys release
tabs inside the unit's sleeve so
you can remove it. Insert the keys
as far as they will go (with the
notches facing up) info the

appropriate slots at the left and
right sides of the unit. Then slide
the sleeve off the back of the unit.

6.

Mount the sleeve by inserting the
sleeve

into the opening of the
dashboard and bend open the
tabs located around the sleeve
with a screwdriver. Not all tabs
will be able to make contact, so
examine which ones will be most
effective. Bending open the
appropriate tabs behind the
dashboard to secure the sleeve in
place.

7. Reconnect the wire harness and
the antenna and be careful not to
pinch any wires or cables.

8. Slide the unit into the sleeve until
it locks into place.

9. To further secure the unit, use the
supplied metal strap to secure the
back of the unit in place. Use the
supplied hardware (Hex Nut (5
mm) and Spring Washer) to
attach one end of the strap to the
mounting bolt on the back of the
unit. If necessary, bend the metal
strap to fit your vehicle's moun­ting area. Then use the supplied
hardware (Tapping Screw (5 x 25

mm) and Plain Washer) to attach
the other end of metal strap to a
solit metal part of the vhicle under
the dashboard. This strap also
helps ensure proper electrical
grounding of the unit. Note to
in

stall the short threading terminal
of the mounting bolt to the back of
the unit and the other long threa­ding to the dashboard.

10. Reconnect the cable to the
vehicle battery's negative (-)
terminal. Then replace the outer
trim ring and install the unit’s front
panel (see the steps of ¨using the
detachable front panel¨).

Removing the unit

1. Make sure the ignition is turned
off, then disconnect the cable
f

rom the vehicle battery’s negative (-)

terminal.

2. Remove the metal strap attached
the back of the unit (if attached).

3. Press the OPEN button to slide

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE UNIT
(for LCD version only)

Switch on the unit by pressing any
button (except OPEN button (7) and
EJECT button (4). When system is
on, press PWR button (9) shortly to
control the brightness of LCD. Press it
for several seconds to turn off the
unit.

FACEPLATE RELEASE

Press OPEN button (7) to fold down
the removable faceplate.

SOUND ADJUSTMENT

Press SEL button (10) shortly to
select the desired adjustment mode.
The adjustment mode will change in
the following order:

By rotating the volume up button

^

(11) or volume down button v (12), it
is possible to adjust the desired
sound quality. Press SEL button (10)
for several seconds, it is activated as
cyclical mode of following functions
for user's selection.

a) TA SEEK or TA ALARM

- TA SEEK mode:

When newly tuned station does
not receive TP information for
several seconds, the radio
retunes to next station which has
not the same station (PI) as the
last station, but has the TP
information. When TP information
gets lost at the current station for
retune time which is set by
RETUNE SHORT (30 sec.) or
RETUNE LONG (90 sec.), the radio
start to retune to next same PI
station.
When same PI station does not
catch in 1 cyclic search, the radio
retunes to next station with TP
information.

- TA ALARM mode:

When this mode is selected, any
automatic retune mode is not
activated. Only double beep
sound (ALARM) is output. When
newly tuned station does not
have TP information for several
seconds, beeps come out. When
TP information gets lost at the
current station for retune time, the
beep sound is out-putted.
When newly tuned station has not
RDS signal, "PI SEEK" is
suppressed somewhat.

b) PI SOUND or PI MUTE

W

hile AF switching is implemented
in C201 station, AF can switch to
100 MHz, which is non genuine
AF (where different PI with same
AF) in short "DIP".
If a car cruises that critical area
back and forth, an oscillation
phenomenon can be occurred,
because the different PI code can
be received from 100 MHz with
"XXX" PI. The car radio has
special procedure to reduce even
this kind of unavoidable situation
however ther is a limit to be
escaped from this serious case
perfectly. In that serious case, 2
mode is selectable as folows:

Operation

GB

100 90

PI: C201

100

PI: XXX

In that serious case, 2 mode is
selectable as follows:

- PI SOUND mode:
When above different PI sound
(DIP) is heard once in a while, the
DIP's sound will be heard for a
short time.

- PI MUTE mode:
Under above same situation, a
mute sound will be heard for a
short time.

c) RETUNE L or RETUNE S mode

The initial time of automatic TA search
ord PI search modes is selected.
When PI information is not caught for
retune time, the radio starts to retune
to next same PI station. When some
PI station does not catch 1 cyclic
search, the radio goes to last station
and waits for several minutes until PI
code is received.

- RETUNE L mode:
Selected as 90 seconds.

- RETUNE S mode
Selected as 30 seconds.

d) MASK DPI or MASK ALL mode

The AF frequency (which has
different PI or NO RDS signal
with high field stength) is masked
during checking PI when the unit
searches AF. The unit doesn't
s

earch this AF (DIP) for few minutes.
In the case of the AF of NO RDS
signal with high field stength, if
the real AF is wrongly masked as
DIP by some interference, the
unit hestitates to search real AFs.
For this reason, the unit has the
user option (MASK DPI) which
doesn't mask the AF of NO RDS
signal with high field strength.

In MASK DPI mode, the wrong
sound or long mute (according to
PI SOUND or PI MUTE) can be

heard from the AF station which
has NO RDS signal and of which
the field strength is higher than
that of the currently tuning AF
(

station). But, these phenomenons
are rare and the user will hardly
hear the wrong sound in whole
Europe.

- MASK DPI mode:

Masked only the AF which
has different PI.

- MASK ALL mode:

Masked the AF which has
different PI and NO RDS
signal with high field.

e)

BEEP 2'ND, BEEP ALL, OFF mode

The situatuion of beep sound is
selected. The 3 mode is selected
as also by pressing the volume
up button ^(11) or volume down

v

button (12).

- BEEP

2'nd mode:
The beep is only generated
when all allowed double key
is pressed long (1 sec).
e.g.
When preset button (14) is
pressed. When BND/LOUD
button (13) is pressed.

- BEEP ALL mode:
The beep is generated when
every key is pressed.

- BEEP OFF mode:
The beep is disabled.

Press BND/LOUD button (13) for
several seconds to reinforce the bass
output. Press it for several seconds
again to release this function.

this key is to reduce unwanted
EON TA switching, which EON TA
information was received from
current station and the radio
switched to that EON linked
station, but no information could
not be received because the EON
linked station is located too far
from that area. So the radio is
switched back to current station
again. In above operation, a
customer listens to a wrong
program or mute sound for a
while.
