The country-specific regulations for telephone operation apply. The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the radio should be adjusted so that external noise is still audible. Do not activate the telephone near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting areas. In the case of a malfunction (i.e. smoke or other noticeable odours) the unit is to be turned off immediately. For safety reasons, the unit may only be opened by a trained technician. Please refer to your dealer for repair. 65 Information regarding general road safety This car radio device is intended and approved for installation and operation in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and buses (vehicle classes M, N and O) whose electric system has a rated voltage of 12V. Installation and maintenance should only be carried out by specialists. Faulty installation or maintenance can result in the malfunctioning of the motor vehicle's electronic systems. The vehicle manufacturer's safety instructions must be observed. The vehicle's electronics (e.g. speedometer signal) may only be worked on by an authorised service garage. We assume no liability for any impairment of the vehicle's electronics. This device is only intended for installation in the area provided for this purpose by the vehicle manufacturer. The method of attachment used must ensure that the device will remain properly attached, should the vehicle be involved in a crash. The power supply must be properly fused. Using mobile phones without an external antenna in the proximity of the radio unit may cause interference. Familiarise yourself with the device and how it works before embarking on your journey. Whilst on the move, only operate the device in appropriate traffic conditions. The volume of the device should be set at a level that enables external noises (e.g. police sirens) to be easily heard. 66 Arrangement of controls 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 10 12 11 Arrangement of controls Left rotary control (INFO) On / off switch ( ) Tone button ( ) Switching between telephone/traffic programme ( ) 5 LED 6 Select CD mode ( ) 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 12 FM selection ( ) AM selection ( ) CD eject button ( ) Right rotary control Multifunction buttons Display 67 Anti-theft device Anti-theft device Entering the code number If the car radio is disconnected from the electrical supply source, the anti-theft device prevents it from being reconnected.

X 74 Radio mode Manual FM tuning X X Regionalisation The RDS diversity function is independent of region. As a result, the RDS diversity function can lead to the radio switching between various regional programmes which may vary in terms of broadcasting content. In such a case, the special regional programming must be selected directly. If several regional programmes are transmitted by one station, this can only be seen when the station is selected. Stations with additional regional transmitters are indicated with a star (i.e. 4*). Select FM menu mode. Using the multifunction button select the Stations Fix level. X Then select the desired regional subprogramme (i.e. ). Press the multifunction button twice. X Next, turn the right-hand rotary control . X 100 kHz tuning steps are performed. The display will show that manual tuning is currently active with MAN. If the right-hand rotary control is not turned after a short time, MAN will disappear from the display and manual tuning is turned off. Note If the signal quality of a regional alternative drifts despite the RDS diversity function, it may mean that regional alternatives are only transmitted on a few frequencies. Therefore, there are fewer frequencies with strong signals available for the unit to switch to. Upon selection of one of these stations (e.g. 4*), all receivable regional subprogrammes for this station will be displayed. 75 Radio mode Switching regionalisation on / off X Switching radio text on / off Select FM menu mode. GWarning hazard Accident Since information transmitted via radio text is constantly changing, we recommend displaying the radio text only when the vehicle is stationary to avoid unnecessary distraction for the driver. This is a necessary precaution for accident prevention. X Note Radio text cannot be displayed unless the selected station transmits radio text. Poor reception or interference may distort the radio text or completely prevent it from being displayed. X X Use the multifunction button to turn regionalisation on (on) or off (off). In order to quit the radio text level, press the button or the left-hand rotary control . Turning frequency display on / off X Press the left-hand rotary control . Select FM menu mode. The car radio filters data transmitted by the radio station and displays it in the form of radio text. X Use the multifunction button to select either Frequency (frequency display on) or PTY (frequency display off). 76 Radio mode Traffic programme (TP) If an RDS diversity station broadcasts TP announcements, it is possible to interrupt CD, MP3/WMA, CDC/AUX, MW, LW, SW mode or the mute mode and switch the broadcast TP announcements through. Moreover, you can listen to one FM station while receiving TP announcements transmitted by another FM station. There are two ways to select a TP station: - Automatic tracking - Direct programming Automatic tracking transmits TP bulletins over the FM station currently being received. If the selected FM station has poor signal quality or is not a TP station, the unit applies specified criteria to search for a new TP station. Direct programming enables a TP station to be programmed that is not the FM station being received. This means, for example, that a particular FM station can be listened to whilst TP announcements are received from another one. If the programmed TP station's reception is poor, the unit switches to automatic tracking until the programmed TP station can be restored. If the unit detects a TP station, this is indicated on the display by TP. appears on the display to indicate that the traffic programme is active.
