Introduction
Before using the unit for the first time
Before using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. This
will enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions it

⇒ page 4.
Familiarise yourself with the unit overview
⇒ page 6.
Use suitable data media for media mode ⇒ page 19.
Safety notes
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operating
the radio system could distract you from the traffic.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. This
also applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source.
WARNING
The connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving may
distract you from the traffic, causing an accident.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung through the interior of the vehicle during a sudden
driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never fit external units on the doors, windscreen, on or near the area
marked with the word “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the dash panel,
seat backrests or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. In the
case of an accident, external units can cause serious injury, particularly
when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a Specialised workshop.

exceed the preselected “switch-on volume” ( VOL
⇒ page 30).
Energy management
Depending on the model, if, when the ignition is switched off and the unit
switched on, the battery voltage falls below the minimum onboard power
supply voltage, there is an audible warning and LOW BATTERY appears. The
unit should be switched off.
If the battery voltage level continues to fall, RADIO OFF is briefly displayed
and the radio will switch itself off automatically.

Audio mode
Digital radio mode* (DAB, DAB+ and DMB-
Audio) Operation
Fig. 12 DAB radio
mode
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is a
digital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB, DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcast-
ing standards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via Band III (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz) frequencies.
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and one
each has a suitable channel name (e.g. 8A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
The main view of DAB radio mode shows the name of the channel and the
channel's international ID, which appears above the station name in the
centre of the display.
DAB is currently not available in all areas . When in DAB radio mode in areas
with no DAB reception, it displays: . DAB announcements
DAB announcements are additional DAB services that are also broadcast on
the radio (e.g. News, sports news, weather, warnings, etc.).
Note
The channel name, an indication that appears above the station's name,
varies depending on the country, for example “FU-E”, but not the channel's
international ID, for example “11B” ⇒ Fig. 12.
Automatic station tracking
DAB programme tracking
Some DAB stations are broadcast in different regional ensembles.
If the current station is no longer available in your location, the unit may al-
so switch to a corresponding partner station.
DAB programme tracking can be switched off in DAB settings ⇒ table on
page 30, SFO
since it is not always required; i.e. when the vehicle is pass-
ing through a tunnel, the loss of reception is only momentary and in these
cases the automatic station switching is not required. The radio will be mut-
ed if reception is too weak.
Change from DAB to FM
Under DAB setup, the unit can be configured to switch to the FM ⇒ table on
page 30, FML
frequency band when required for automatic station track-
ing.
If reception of the currently selected DAB station is lost (e.g. no DAB availa-
ble), the unit attempts to find the station on the FM frequency band and
tune to it. Automatic station tracking between frequency bands only works if
the DAB station and the FM station transmit the same station identifier or
the DAB signal indicates a corresponding station on the FM frequency band.

Audio mode
Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be

on the data medium.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
