NOTE:To protect the unit from excessive heat, a
temperature protection device has been integrated into
the circuitry. When a high operating temperature is
detected, CD TEMP is displayed for eight seconds and
the unit switches back to the last source (AM or FM).
Allow sufficient cool down time and retry.
User Menu
The following functions can be customized to your
personal needs in the user menu:
•USER – User Memory
•M/S – Mono/Stereo Setting
•DRIVER – Left/Right Hand Drive Setting
•PHONE – Telephone Characteristics
•LED – LED Setting
To enter the USER menu, press the OPT button for more
than three seconds. USER then appears on the display,
and another user action must be entered within six
seconds or this menu is exited automatically. Your cur-
rent setting can be cancelled and the selections made will
be saved by pressing either the CD, AM, FM or TP
buttons momentarily.
User Memory (USER – 1, 2, 3)
You can program up to three user memories, which saves
the sound settings, and the last received station when the
unit is switched off. To activate, first enter the user menu.
One of the three users can now be selected by turning the
right rotary/push button. You can also call up the
Mono/Stereo setting by pressing the right rotary/push
button at this time.
Mono/Stereo
In order to suppress reception-related interference, three
different parameters can be set to optimize reception.
To activate, call up the user menu, then press the right
rotary control/push button repeatedly until STEREO,
STO AUTO or MONO is displayed (depending on the
currently selected setting, you may need to turn the knob
also for your selection).
•STO AUTO – Setting for normal operation. The unit
switches from stereo to mono and back, depending on
the reception conditions (for nearly all reception areas,
this is the optimal setting).

•STEREO – Setting for exceptional conditions. The unit
is constantly set for stereo reception (primarily for
private broadcasters in urban areas).
•MONO – Setting for receptions with constant reflec-
tion, the unit is constantly set for monaural reception.
You can also call up the Setting DRIVER mode by
pressing the right rotary/push button at this time.
Driver – L/R
If a telephone with hands-free operation is installed, the
call is routed through the speaker system. The setting
DRIVER is used to set the appropriate speaker side (left
or right).
To activate, call up the user menu, then press the right
rotary control/push button repeatedly until DRIVER L or
DRIVER R is displayed (depending on the currently
selected setting, you may need to turn the knob also for
your selection). You can also call up the Telephone mute
characteristics mode by pressing the right rotary/push
button at this time.
Telephone mute characteristics
If a telephone with hands-free operation is installed, the
call may be routed through the speaker system. This
eliminates the need for an additional speaker (if the
signal lines are connected to the unit). The following
settings are available:
•PH MUTE – Switching radio to mute.
•AUDIO PH – Telephone call via the car radio.
Call up the user menu, then press the right rotary
control/push button repeatedly until AUDIO PH or PH
MUTE is displayed (depending on the currently selected
setting, you may need to turn the knob also for your
selection).

COMPACT DISC MAINTENANCE
To keep the compact discs in good condition, take the
following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the
surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth,
wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid scratch-
ing the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners,
or antistatic sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become
too high.
RADIO ANTENNA
The radio antenna is located in the rear liftgate glass on
the coupe vehicles and mounted on the left rear body
panel on the roadster vehicles. The antenna requires no
maintenance.
RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES
Under certain conditions, the operation of a cellular
phone in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy perfor-
mance from your radio. This condition may be lessened
or eliminated by relocating the cellular phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repo-
sitioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio
volume be turned down or off during cellular phone
operation.
