TELEPHONE PROVISION
(fig. 154)
If the voice kit is installed on the car, when
a phone call is received the radio sound is
connected to the phone input. The telephone
sound is heard with a fixed volume, but it
can be adjusted during the conversation us-
ing “VOL+” (21) to higher the volume or
“VOL-” (19) to lower it.
The fixed telephone volume can be ad-
justed through the “PHONE” function of
the menu (see “MENU” paragraph). The only buttons active during phone calls
are:
– “VOL+” (21), “VOL-” (19): for
volume adjustment
– “ON” (20): turning the radio on/off
– “AF-TA” (1): traffic information.
While the sound is off for a phone call, the
display shows the word “PHONE”.
The sound of the phone call will be inter-
rupted in the case of transmission of a traf-
fic bulletin or a PTY31 announcement; if
wishing to interrupt the bulletin press the
“AF-TA” button (1).
RADIO(fig. 154)
When the set is turned on the last function
selected before turning off is played (Radio,
Compact Disc or CD-Changer).
To select the Radio function while listening
to a Compact Disc, briefly and repeatedly
press the “SRC” button (14) until this
function is selected.
Selecting the frequency
band
If in the Radio mode, briefly and repeat-
edly press the “BN” button (13) to select
the required reception band.
Every time the button is pressed the fol-
lowing bands are selected in sequence
“FM1”, “FM2”, “FMT”, “MW” and
“LW” shown by the respective wording on
the display.
The FM band is divided into section: FM1,
FM2 and FMT.
The FMT reception band is reserved to the
stations stored automatically with the Au-
tostore function.
The radio is always ready to receive sta-
tions in the RDS Mode (Radio Data System).

Controlling the station type of
PTY programme
To know the type of PTY programme of
the station heard keep the “PTY” button
(2) pressed until a “beep” is heard. After
the “beep” the display will show the type
of programme (see previous paragraph) of-
fered by the station tuned. If the station has
no PTY code the display will show the word-
ing “NO-PTY”. After about 5 seconds the
display will again show the RDS name or
frequency of the station tuned.
EON function
(Enhanced Other Network)
Some countries have circuits which group
together several stations enabled to broad-
cast traffic information. In this case the pro-
gramme of the station being heard will be
interrupted temporarily to receive traffic in-
formation (only with the TA function on),
every time these bulletins are given by one
of the stations of the same circuit. Scrolling transmissions
It is possible to receive different pro-
grammes in the same network and scroll
them (in FM band only) - e.g.: NDR1,
NDR2, NDR3, NDR4, N-JOY...
To turn on this function, briefly press the
“AF-TA” button (1) to turn on the AF func-
tion. The user can then start scrolling press-
ing “
˙˙” (7) or “¯¯” (4).
IMPORTANTThe station must have
been received previously at least once.
Stereophonic stations
If the signal received is weak, the device
switches automatically from Stereo to Mono.
MENU(fig. 154)
Functions of “MENU” button (9)
To turn on the Menu function briefly press
(less than 1 second) the “MENU” button
(9). The display will show the word
“MENU”.
To scroll the Menu functions use “
▲” (6)
or “
▼” (8). To turn on/off the function se-
lected use “
˙˙” (7) or “¯¯” (4).
The display will show the current status
of the function selected.

ing predefined equalizer adjustments)
