INSTALLATION

If your car is equipped with ISO connectors,
simply insert them in connectors of the car radio.
If not, you can use an adaptor cable (Refer to the
table on the separate installation card). Ensure all
cables are installed so that they cannot be
damaged by sharp edges or moving parts.

PREPARATION

Volta ge and polarity: The set must be connected

to a 12V car battery with negative terminal to
earth (car chassis). Installation in vehicles not
fulfilling these requirements could result in
malfunction, damage or fire.

Warning: To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect
the negative car battery terminal until the set has
been mounted and connected (fig.1 See separate
installation card).

CONNECTOR A (fig.2)
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

• Red lead A7 : Connect to a permanent 12V
supply. This is the main power supply. Ensure
this connection can handle a current of 10A.

• Yellow/red lead A4 : Connect to a switched
12V supply (switched on/off by car ignition).

• Brown lead A8: Connect to earth (car
chassis).

This connection set up will enable you to make
full use of the ON/OFF LOGIC function of this set
limiting the use of the set to 1 hour after removal
of the ignition key. If this feature does not appear
to be functioning as expected you may require
an adapter cable (EA6259). See reverse of
installation card.

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS) ON FM

➛➛➛➛

Many FM stations broadcast RDS information.
This set uses the RDS information to offer you
many advantages including :

DISPLAY OF STATION-NAME

The set displays the name of the station instead
of its frequency.

Useful tips

Display shows frequency (not station name).

• Set is tuned to non-RDS station or RDS is not
active, see 'INITIAL SETTING' option 'RDS'.

AUTOMATIC RETUNING

The set remains tuned to the current station by
continually searching for the best possible
frequency for reception.

Useful tips

Radio mutes momentarily while display shows
'SEARCH' and station name/frequency
alternately.

• Set is checking a list of Alternative Frequencies
(AF) for the tuned radio station as reception is
weak. In case no AF is transmitted for the tuned
station, switch off AF via the INITIAL SETTING
and stored the preset station (with AF off).
Next time when you recall the same preset
station (with AF off), the flag ' ' turn
on.

DISPLAY OF PROGRAMME TYPE (PTY)

You can check the type of programme being
broadcast (e.g.: news, sport, etc.).

INFORMATION FROM RELATED RADIO
STATIONS

service where the broadcaster links some
stations together. If you are tuned to a station
where is linked to others by EON, the set is
capable of receiving Traffic Announcements (and/
or News bulletins) from both the tuned station
and related stations.
