What you need to know

Before using your new car radio, please read through 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 14m 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 the vehicle, such as police or fire engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly.

Consequently, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car radio while you are driving.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System will enhance your enjoyment when you listen to FM radio stations.

More and more radio stations broadcast RDS information along with their regular programming.

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 radio always tunes into the strongest frequency of the currently selected programme automatically.

This function is activated when "AF" appears in the display.

In order to switch this function on or off,

• press the AF-TA button until a beep is emitted.

While searching for the strongest reception signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.

If "SEARCH" appears in the display when the radio is switched on or one of the stored frequencies recalled, the unit is already 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 run through completely.

If the reception quality of the selected programme deteriorates beyond a certain point:

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 German states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times of the day.

If you are listening to a particular regional programme and wish to continue doing so, select "REG ON" in the DSC mode.

If you leave the service area of the regional programme you are tuned into, or if you would like to take advantage of full RDS service, switch to "REG OFF" in the DSC mode.

The set will switch back to the station previously tuned into.

As soon as it is possible to receive a programme in the broadcasting network with the PTY selected, the radio will switch over to the corresponding station for the duration of the programme.

Example:

German broadcasting network NDR:

• Station playing: NDR3.
• "PTY" lights up in the display.
  Programme type "POP" selected.
• Seek tuning is started.
• No station with "PTY-POP" can be found.
• The display shows "NO PTY" and

After the PTY programme has ended the system will switch back to the previous mode (radio, cassette or CD).

Note:

As already mentioned, these functions are only supported by a limited number of RDS stations at the present time.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON

The abbreviation "EON" stands for Enhanced Other Networks, which means that information is exchanged within a radio network.

Many FM radio stations provide their service area with traffic messages at regular intervals.

Along with their programmes, all traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal, 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 information themselves, but by using RDS-EON it is possible for them to forward the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic

programme station in the same radio network.

If you want to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR4), "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 (NDR4) 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 AF-TA button. "TA" appears. If you press AF-TA while a message is being broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous mode. 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 emitted if you press a preset button for a station which does not send the traffic programme signal (TP).

Switching the warning beep off
