of the US Department of Trade. Weather
reports are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and
are routinely updated at intervals of 1 to
3 hours, and more often when necessary. Most
stations operate 24 hours a day. In case of a
storm, the National Weather Service interrupts
the routine weather news and transmits special
warning messages instead. Should you have
questions regarding NOAA Weather Radio,
please contact the nearest office of the National
Weather Service or write to the National
Weather Service at: W/OM1, National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, 1325 East-
West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

Notes
The BMW CD player is a Class 1 laser
product. Never remove the cover from the
housing. Do not operate with a damaged cover
panel as this can lead to severe eye injury.
Never play CDs or DVDs with stick-on labels.
They can come loose during playback due to
the heat buildup and cause irreparable damage
to the system.
Only use round CDs with a standard diameter of
4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs with an
adapter, e.g. CD singles; otherwise, the CDs or
the adapter can jam and may no longer eject
properly.<
General malfunctions
The BMW CD player is optimized for operation
in the vehicle. It may react more sensitively to
defective CDs than devices intended for sta-
tionary use.
If a CD cannot be played back, first check to
make sure it has been correctly inserted.
Humidity
High humidity can fog the CD or the focusing
lens for the laser beam, temporarily preventing
playback.
Malfunctions with individual CDs
If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs,
this can be due to one of the following causes.
Home-recorded CDs
Malfunction sources in home-recorded CDs
include, for example, inconsistent data origina-
tion and recording processes as well as low
quality or pronounced aging of the blanks used.
Only write on CDs with a marker especially
designed for this purpose.
Damaged CDs
Avoid finger prints, dust, scratches, and mois-
ture.
Store CDs in a sleeve.
Do not expose CDs to temperatures above
1227/506, high humidity or direct sunlight.
CDs with copy protection
Manufacturers often provide CDs with copy
protection. This can prevent or limit the play-
back of these CDs.
Care instructions
You can find everything you need to know about
this topic by consulting the separate Caring for
your vehicle brochure.
