1 Introduction

Congratulations! You have made a very good choice with buying this T echniSat
WERRA 1 car radio.

This high-quality car radio has been developed and pr oduced in Germany.It has
a first-class FM unit with full RDS functions.Additionally, a high-quality reception
unit for MW,L W German band and SW Europe band (49 m) has been integrated.
There is an AST function to simplify FM and MW station search.Wherever you drive,
this function automatically stores the six strongest stations each. Thus the
annoying and also (during the ride) dangerous search for the single stations is
superfluous.A total of 42 memories is available (18 FM/12 MW/6 LW/6 SW).

The TechniSat WERRA 1 is also equipped with a connection for the TechniSat 6­CD changer Werr aDisc and a telephone m ute input which is rather important in
connection with a car telephone. It will immediately put the radio into mute
function when a call is coming in.

To simplify operation,volume control is effected via an electronic turn-knob.

Radio reception/preprogramming comments

In addition to the standard FM stations, the TechniSat WERRA 1 is also able to
receive MW, LW German band and SW Europe band (49 m). When receiving
these frequency bands, the following peculiarities (of physical nature) have to
be respected:

Introduction/radio reception/preprogramming comments Introduction/radio reception/preprogramming comments

Medium wave:

During the day the reception quality of medium wave stations in the lower
frequency range is better than that of stations in the upper frequency range. In
the dark, however,the higher medium wave frequencies are reflected by the
ionosphere and thus can generally be received in a better quality.However,the
reception of weak stations can then be interfered with the higher range of
neighbouring stations. It is considerably impor tant to shield the antenna cable
and all further lines connected to the radio against “car-made noise“
(interferences of the board electronics of the car) when receiving medium wav e
stations, particular ly weaker ones. In order to have the best possible reception
quality it is recommended to use a high-quality AM car antenna.

Y our T echniSat WERRA 1 is f actory-preprogrammed to the f ollowing MW stations:

549 kHz Deutschlandfunk
783 kHz MDR Info

801 kHz Bayerischer Rundfunk 1
1017 kHz Südwestfunk
1422 kHz Deutschlandfunk
1440 kHz RTL Radio

Long wave:

Generally ,long wave reception is comparable to short wave reception.However,
the reception of weak long wave stations can also be interfered with high­voltage transmission lines. The following long wave stations are factory­preprogrammed:

153 kHz Deutschlandfunk
207 kHz Deutschlandfunk
177 kHz DeutschlandRadio Berlin
261 kHz RADIOROPA
198 kHz BBC RADIO 4
234 kHz RTL France

Short wave - Europe band:

The reception of short wave stations (Europe band 49 m) strongly depends on
the time of day and the season. The following stations are factory­preprogrammed:

6075 kHz Deutsche Welle
6140 kHz Deutsche Welle
6005 kHz DeutschlandRadio
6085 kHz Bayerischer Rundfunk 1
6155 kHz Radio Österreich International
6165 kHz Schweizer Radio International

A Europe-wide reception of Deutsche Welle is possible on frequency 6075 kHz.
Due to its reception range,the short wave Europe band (49 m) particularly of fers
advantages when you are on holiday or on a business trip within Europe.
