The car radio cannot be turned on with the vehicle’s ignition turned off. Turning on/off with the vehicle ignition If the ignition is turned off while the unit is turned on, it will automatically turn off and turn on again the next time the ignition is turned on. If the unit has been turned off using the Power On/Off button on the unit, it will stay off after cycling the ignition switch and can only be turned off by operating the Power On/Off button manually. If this feature does not work as described, the car radio has not been properly wired. Adjusting the volume The sound volume can be adjusted using the control dial from 0 (no sound) to 40 (maximum sound volume). The unit displays the volume level set for a few seconds afterwards. Setting the playback volume: During music playback, turn the control dial to set the volume. Setting the Bluetooth® (telephone) volume: During a phone call, turn the control dial to set the volume. Muting your car radio Briefly press the Power On/Off button to mute the unit or unmute with the volume setting last used.

When Mute is enabled (e.g. when toggling through the sound sources), no change in volume adjustment can be heard. Do not increase the volume with Mute enabled.6. Analogue radio: VHF band (FM/MW) Analogue radio signal transmission channels, such as FM radio from 87.5-108 MHz, are the ‘classic’ broadcast frequencies, widely used throughout the world. The broadcast transmitters are analogue (FM = frequency modulation, MW/AM = amplitude modulation). With weak or fluctuating signals, the stereo sound fades on FM radio, stations are played in mono and the reception has a hiss (is noisy). Depending on the service region, FM stations can often be received on different frequencies, which the car radio can automatically tune into, depending on the quality of reception if the FM station transmits the necessary RDS data and the broadcast is of sufficient strength. Playing FM/MW radio Use the SRC button to select the last used analogue source (RADIO display or FM1, FM2, FM3, MW1, MW2), then use the BAND button to change the preset memory level or frequency range (FM1, FM2, FM3, MW1, MW2). There are 6 presets on each preset memory level. Tuning into radio stations By briefly pressing the >>/ << buttons, you can start seeking for radio channels (forwards and backwards). The seek stops automatically at the first (or the next) received station with sufficient broadcast signal strength. You can also tune into a radio frequency manually if the broadcast signal from the desired radio station is very weak and the seek fails to stop at the expected frequency. To do this, press and hold one of the >> and << buttons until MANUAL appears in the display. The frequency will now change as long as the button is pressed and will only stop when the button is released. The frequency can be changed station by station by briefly pressing the >> or << button. If no button is pressed for approx. 5 seconds, the unit reverts to automatic tuning automatic search and the display briefly reads AUTO. Storing and selecting radio station presets You can store your favourite radio stations with the preset buttons labelled from 1 to 6. Each preset memory level (FM1, FM2, FM3, MW1, MW2) can store 6 radio stations: Follow the procedure in “TUNING INTO RADIO STATIONS” to tune into the desired station. Press and hold the selected preset memory button for approximately one second and release it. You can tune into your station saved as a preset by briefly pressing the respective preset button. The right part of the display will read the preset number. Automatic storing of presets (Travelstore) The available radio station can be preset using the automatic preset storing feature (travelstore): Press and hold the BAND button until the unit starts the travelstore process. The display will show the frequency and the number of the free preset mapped to the radio station found; once the process ends, all radio stations stored in the presets will be briefly played back. Display readout selection Use the DIS button to toggle between different display information:

• Radio station name (or frequency if the name is missing)

• Time The availability of display readout features will vary with the radio station and broadcast reception quality. If the reception is poor, the radio-broadcast information might not be displayed properly or at all, or displayed for the last radio station tuned into. More features or options: See “SETTINGS”.EN

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB or DAB+) is the digital successor to analogue FM broadcasting. Digital broadcasting has some differences from the well-known analogue FM radio: One than more radio stations broadcast on a single channel – this is called ‘multiplexing’ (MUX) (or program packages). The radio stations on a specific MUX are called ‘services’ (this means radio stations and/or data services). In Germany, for example, MUX are available regionally from public broadcasters; moreover, there are currently two MUX that can be received throughout Germany: DR DEUTSCHLAND and ANTENNE DE. A MUX can often be received on the same channel throughout the broadcasting area through transmitters in different locations (which is a common RF network) and you do not need to change a channel to enjoy continued service. This gives more room for additional program providers. DAB stations do not output a noise known from FM radio; a DAB station audio broadcast is either received with a consistent quality – or not received at all when error correction is no longer able to reconstruct the broadcast signal, accompanied by a short “garble”. Playing DAB/DAB+ radio Use the SRC button to select the DAB source, then use the BAND button to change the preset memory level (DAB1, DAB2, DAB3). There are 6 presets on each preset memory level. Browsing DAB services / seeking MUX Use the >>/ << buttons to scroll up or down through the DAB services on the MUX. When the first or last DAB service of the current MUX is reached, the unit automatically starts seeking the previous or next MUX that can be received, playing back the last or first DAB service listed in that previous or next MUX, respectively. Seeking MUX By pressing and holding the >>/ << buttons, you can, at any time, start seeking for the next or previous MUX that can be received. Storing and selecting radio station presets You can store your favourite radio stations with the preset buttons labelled from 1 to 6. Each preset memory level can store up to 6 radio stations. Follow the procedure in “BROWSING DAB SERVICES / SEEKING MUX” to tune into the desired station. Press and hold the selected preset memory button for approximately one second and release it. You can tune into your station saved as a preset by briefly pressing the respective preset button. The right part of the display will read the preset number. Display readout selection Use the DIS button to toggle between different display information:

• Time The availability of display readout features will vary with the radio station and broadcast reception quality. If the reception is poor, the radio-broadcast information might not be displayed properly or at all, or displayed for the last radio station tuned into.8. Playback from external devices and media: USB The USB interface of the car radio can be connected to storage media (USB thumbdrives/dongles/memory sticks) and play back the media stored on them, provided that the files and the file format of the storage is compatible with this unit.

Malfunctions of the unit and possible remedies are listed below. If you continue to experience problems with this car radio, contact your dealer or Blaupunkt Service. If you experience a problem, have the unit checked or installed by a professional. Most problems occur due to incorrect connection and operation. Read the User Manual carefully. Some specifications and data may not apply to your model because the relevant feature or option is not available.

• After installing the unit, the airbag lights comes on the instrument cluster / the speedometer does not work, etc.: The car radio connections most likely have been wired incorrectly. Immediately disconnect the vehicle battery and remove the car radio. Have the installation performed/checked by a professional.

• The car radio does not turn on / the car radio displays 1 HOUR after turning on and turns off 1 hour afterwards: The ignition positive is not wired or not hot. Check the connections.

• The display flickers at high sound volume / the car radio turns off altogether: Check the wire cross section of the power supply cable. Have the installation performed/checked by a professional.

• The remote control does not work: Check if the battery is properly installed in the remote; remove the small plastic wrap from the battery; point the remote control at the car radio for a direct line of data transmission. This feature is not available on all models.

• The car radio does not turn on / does not respond to ignition / always turns off automatically after a certain period of time / cannot be turned on without ignition: Is the ignition positive / hot-all-times power properly wired? The ignition positive must switch properly between 0 V/12 V, there must be no residual voltage on the ignition positive with the ignition off. Check the car radio for correct connections; never attempt to connect the vehicle-side harness connectors directly to the car radio without first checking the connection pinouts. Have the installation performed/checked by a professional.

• Settings and/or preset stations are lost; the clock time is not displayed properly: As a rule, the car radio stores the settings in a keep-alive memory which persists even when the power supply is off. However, some settings are not permanently stored until the car radio is turned off properly, so make sure you properly turn off your car radio. The features such as the clock time, last source selected, or last USB/CD file/track played back require a power supply which is hot all times. For proper operation, the car radio must be properly connected to a power source which is hot all times and never interrupted.

• The car radio does not receive radio broadcast or the reception is poor: Check the antenna for your reception area. Check if a phantom power supply adapter may be needed. Is the antenna installed correctly? Many antennas require connection to the ground (the car chassis). LED lights or other electrical components may interfere with radio reception, so look for these and remedy them. When using the car radio for the first time, make sure the radio is set to the correct radio region (see “SETTINGS”).

• NO SIGNAL or NO SERVICE is suddenly displayed in the DAB source mode: The current MUX (program package) reception is too weak and audio signal decoding is not possible. Select another MUX or check the DAB antenna.• The car radio suddenly displays SEEK PI/SEEK TA or tunes into different stations in the FM mode: Check your antenna and car radio settings. If necessary, deactivate the alternative frequency (AF) feature (see “SETTINGS”). Poor reception can cause the unit to change stations if the traffic announcement (TA) feature is enabled.

• The car radio does not properly display the radio station name in the FM mode: Navigate to the display readout as required by using the DIS button. Check the reception (check the antenna). Note: Some radio stations broadcast additional data instead of the RDS station name; this is beyond the control of this unit.

• USB, CD, SD or other storage media do not work: Test if other storage media work properly, format your storage medium, or try playing different files.

• Mobile phone does not charge or charges slowly from the USB DC port: This may vary with the actual mobile phone and USB cable used; some manufacturer-specific fast charging features might not supported.

• Bluetooth® issues (the phonebook is not displayed, the phone cannot be connected, or the caller cannot be heard): Check for software updates for your mobile phone and/or car radio. Reset the car radio using the NORMSET feature (see “SETTINGS | MENU”) or press the RESET button (depending on the model). Remove the car radio from the Bluetooth device list on your phone and pair again. Confirm all access right prompts on the mobile phone by selecting “Yes”. Try using a different phone.

• The caller does not hear me: Check the external microphone for correct connection. Check the microphone setting in the Bluetooth® settings (if available). Try using a different phone.

• SUB-OUT or its setting options in the car radio do not work (model-specific): Make sure the subwoofer is properly connected to the SUB-Out connector of the car radio; otherwise the options in the relevant sound settings do not have any effect.

• The fault/malfunction I am experiencing is not specified here. A car radio feature does not work as expected / the car radio does not respond as expected Reset the car radio using the NORMSET feature (see “SETTINGS | MENU”) or press the RESET button (depending on the model). Verify that the software of this unit is up to date. The latest software updates are available on the Blaupunkt website or can be ordered through Blaupunkt Service.
