RDS FUNCTIONS
RDS (Radio Data System)
The radio must be tuned to FM to access
the RDS functions.
The RDS system gives you automatic tun-
ing to the optimal frequency of the RDS-en-
abled stations being listened to (AF func-
tion). You can therefore continue to listen
to the station without having to alter the fre-
quency when you change the area. Obvi-
ously the station you are listening to must
be picked up in the area you are travelling
through.
If the signal is very weak and/or if the
reception is bad, the sound system will mute
for a few seconds while seeking an alter-
native frequency for the station. If this oc-
curs frequently, we recommend turning the
AF function off.If an RDS station can non longer be picked
up in your current position and the AF func-
tion is on, the message “AF” on the display
will flash. As soon as correct reception is re-
stored, “AF” will stop flashing.
The RDS will also display the name of the
station you are listening to (PS function).
Alternative frequency search
(AF function)
Press the AF button [7] to activate/de-
activate the function. When the function is
on, the message AF will appear (or flash)
on the display.
If reception worsens, the message “AF”
will start flashing and the device will attempt
to tune to an alternative frequency. If the
switch-over is not possible, the message
“SEARCH” will appear on the display and
the sound system will tune to the current
station before starting the search.
REG function
(regional programmes)
The REG function can only be used when
the AF function is on.
The REG function (regional programmes)
tunes to local (regional) stations only. Press
the AF button [7] for longer than 2 seconds
to turn the function on/off. The message
“REG” will appear on the display when the
function is on.
If you are listening to a regional station
and the function is off, the regional station
of the new area will be picked up as you
change area.
The REG function is not active when re-
ceiving a national station.
Manual tuning to regional
stations
This function is available only when re-
gional stations are received, with AF func-
tion on and REG, function off. Follow this
procedure:
1. Press one of the pre-set buttons [12]
to recall a regional station.
2.If the station reception is not optimal,
press the same pre-set button [12] and the
radio will tune to a regional station.

TA function
(traffic announcements)
With this function, you can:
– Automatically search only the FM-RDS
stations enabled to broadcast traffic an-
nouncements. The message “TP” will ap-
pear on the display when you are tuned to
one of these stations.
– Receive traffic announcements while you
are listening to a tape or CD.
To start the function, press the TA button
[9]. If the initial station is not enabled to pro-
vide traffic announcements (the message
“TP” will not appear on the display), the ra-
dio will automatically tune to the closest sta-
tion broadcasting traffic announcements and
the message “TA” will appear on the display.
IMPORTANT
If no RDS TA stations can be received, the
system will continue the search indetermi-
nately. To stop the search, press the TA but-
ton [9] again.
If, on the other hand, a station has been
found, the system will turn to TA stand-by
until the traffic announcement starts. In this
case, the message “TRA INFO” followed by
PS (Programme Service name) will appear
on the display.The playback of a CD or tape will be inter-
rupted to allow to listen to traffic announce-
ments broadcast by an RDS TA station.
Press the TA button [9] during traffic an-
nouncement broadcasting to stop listening
to the announcement and the system will
return to TA stand-by mode.

RATSCHLÄGE
SICHERHEIT IM
STRAßENVERKEHR
Wir empfehlen Ihnen, sich vor Fahrbeginn
mit den verschiedenen Funktionen des Au-
toradios (z.B. mit dem Speichern der Ra-
diosender) vertraut zu machen.
EMPFANGSBEDINGUNGEN
Die Empfangsbedingungen ändern sich
ständig während der Fahrt. Der Empfang
kann in der Nähe von Bergen, Gebäuden
oder Brücken gestört sein, vor allem, wenn
sich der eingestellte Sender in ziemlicher Ent-
fernung befindet.
ZUR BEACHTUNGBei der Wiederga-
be von Verkehrsinformationen kann die
Lautstärke deutlich über der normalen Wie-
dergabelautstärke liegen.
PFLEGE UND WARTUNG
Die Bauweise des Radios garantiert ein
langjähriges Funktionieren, ohne daß eine
spezielle Wartung durchgeführt werden
muß. Sollte ein Defekt auftreten, so wen-
den Sie sich am besten an den Kunden-
dienst.
Reinigen Sie die Blende nur mit einem wei-
chen antistatischen Tuch. Produkte zur Rei-
nigung oder zur Glanzpolitur könnten die
Oberfläche angreifen.
KASSETTE
Für eine optimale Wiedergabequalität ge-
ben wir hier einige Ratschläge:
– Verwenden Sie keine Kassetten min-
derwertiger Qualität, mit Verformungen oder
abgelösten Etichetten;
– Nehmen Sie die Kassetten nach dem Ab-
spielen aus dem Autoradio heraus;
– Keine anderen Gegenstände in das Kas-
settenfach einführen;
– Die Kassetten nicht der Sonnenstrah-
lung, übermäßiger Hitze oder hoher Luft-
feuchtigkeit aussetzen;
– Legen Sie die Kassetten nach dem Ge-
brauch wieder in ihre Hüllen zurück;
– Schmutz auf den Tonköpfen kann auf
die Dauer eine Verringerung der hohen Tö-
ne bei der Wiedergabe bewirken. Wir ra-
ten Ihnen daher, den Tonwiedergabekopf
regelmäßig mit den eigens dazu vorgese-
henen, schmirgelfreien Reinigungskassetten
zu behandeln; Eine zu hohe Lautstärke
während der Fahrt kann Ihr
Leben und das anderer Per-
sonen gefährden. Deshalb raten
wir, die Lautstärke so einzustellen,
daß Geräusche von außen (Hupen,
Sirenen von Rettungswagen oder
der Polizei, usw.) noch hörbar blei-
ben.

39
DEUTSCH
– Verwenden Sie vorzugsweise Kassetten
C-60, aber auf jeden Fall nicht längere als
C -90, damit stets eine einwandfreie Wie-
dergabe gewährleistet ist. Das sehr dünne
Band in den längeren Kassetten kann sich
sehr leicht verheddern;
– Führen Sie in das Autoradio keine Kas-
setten mit lockerem Band ein, besonders
wenn Sie Kassetten vom Typ C-90 verwen-
den, da das Band herausgleiten und die Kas-
settenmechanik blockieren kann. Sobald das
Gerät eine Verlangsamung des Bandlauf
oder ähnliche Störungen wahrnimmt, wird
die Kassette automatisch ausgeworfen;
– Die Kassettenmechanik darf nicht ge-
schmiert werden;
– Die Tonwiedergabeköpfe nicht mit ma-
gnetischen oder harten Gegenständen
berühren.COMPACT DISC
Falls Sie einen CD-Spieler verwenden, be-
achten Sie, daß Schmutz oder Riefen auf
der CD Sprünge bei der Wiedergabe und ei-
ne schlechte Klangqualität verursachen kön-
nen. Dasselbe geschieht, wenn Sie die CD
versehentlich verbiegen.
Für eine optimale Wiedergabequalität ge-
ben wir hier einige Ratschläge:
– Verwenden Sie ausschließlich CD´s mit
dem Markenzeichen:– Legen Sie die CD´s nach dem Abspielen
wieder in ihre Hüllen zurück, damit keine
Kratzer und Riefen entstehen, die beim Ab-
spielen Unterbrechungen hervorrufen kön-
nen;
– Setzen Sie die CD´s nicht für längere
Zeit der direkten Sonnenbestrahlung, hohen
Temperaturen oder Feuchtigkeit aus, weil
sie sich dadurch verformen;
– Bekleben Sie die CD´s nicht mit Etiketten
und schreiben nicht auf die bespielte Seite.
Um eine CD aus ihrer Schutzhülle zu neh-
men, drücken Sie mit dem Zeigefinger auf
die Sperre im Zentrum und ziehen Sie die
CD gleichzeitig mit der anderen Hand an de-
ren Rand nach oben.
– Entfernen Sie mit einem weichen Tuch
sorgfältig eventuelle Fingerabdrücke und den
Staub von allen CD´s. Halten Sie die CD am
Rand und reinigen Sie sie von der Mitte nach
außen hin;
– Zum Reinigen niemals chemische Pro-
dukte (z.B. aus Sprühdosen, antistatische
Mittel oder Verdünner) verwenden, weil Sie
damit die Oberflächen der CD´s beschädigen
könnten;Fassen Sie die CDs immer nur anderen
Rand an. Berühren Sie nie die bespielte
Oberfläche.
