repeatedly for more than 2 seconds until
"IS ON" appears in the display.
• Press the AS button

endless. In this case you may switch off
the search function by pressing one of
the station buttons
1… 6.
As soon as the IS search is completed, up
to 30 stations are stored. You then will
hear the station giving best reception.
The intelligent search function first stores
the RDS stations (sorted by station name)
and then the remaining stations in the
order of their volume level.

When storing RDS stations you should
press the corresponding station button
only when the station name appears in
the display. This ensures that all RDS
information has been interpreted and
stored automatically.
When calling up stored RDS stations,
the corresponding station name is display-
ed. If the stored frequency is too weak for
good reception, the radio searches auto-
matically for an appropriate alternative fre-
quency (best station function).
If non of the stored alternative frequencies
is strong enough for good reception, the
desired station cannot be received at the
moment. In this case, tune to another sta-
tion.
!Please make sure that the station
name is displayed when the station
is stored. If a moving text should be
displayed, this will be stored
instead of the station name.
In many European countries, RDS is al-
ready transmitted by many radio stations.
The goal is to provide an overall coverage.
With this system, an inaudible digitized
data current is transmitted in addition to
the normal FM radio signal, providing the
RDS receiver with information in encoded
form which controls, among other things,
the following functions:
• Programme identification (PI code)
With the help of the PI code, the radio
recognizes the currently received station.
• Programme service name (PS code)
The PS code transmits the station name
which is shown in the display.• Alternative frequencies (AF code)
Because of the limited transmission range
of the FM waves, the programme of one
radio provider is transmitted by several
stations on different frequencies. The AF
code informs the radio about all alternative
frequencies of the same programme.
This enables the radio to tune to the fre-
quency which can be received in the best
quality.
Tuning to another frequency is carried out
in an inaudible way.
The station name in the display remains
unchanged.
While you are driving, the RDS radio sear-
ches permanently for alternative frequen-
cies of the station selected and tunes to
this in an automatic and inaudible way.
• Traffic programme identification (TP code = Traffic programme)
This information tells the radio that it is
currently receiving a traffic programme
station.

7– TP button
The TP standby mode allows you to hear
only traffic announcements. Even if the
volume is set to minimum, the traffic an-
nouncements are heard with the program-
med volume – see also page 14. If the
transmission range of the traffic station
tuned to is left, the radio will start after
about 30 seconds an automatic station
search.

Interrupting a traffic announcement
You may wish to interrupt a traffic an-
nouncement in certain situations, for
example
– if the announcement does not concernyour route,
– if the announcement is very long and the part concerning you is already comple-
ted.
While an announcement is heard , this
will be aborted and the previous mode, for
example radio reception or cassette play,
is continued. A new traffic announcement
will be heard again.
To switch definitely off all traffic an-
nouncements, deactivate the TP function.
You may store up to 24 stations on the 6
station buttons in connection with the res-
pective memory levels.
FM1/FM2 range = 6 stations each
AM1/AM2 range = 6 stations each
"FM2" means that you are in the second
memory level. Press the A/F button
5to
switch between the memory levels.

The device is provided with an automatic
tape type switch-over function. For opti-
mum playback quality we recommend you
to use “chromium dioxide” or “metal” cas-
settes. To ensure a troublefree operation,
you should only use cassettes of well-
known manufacturers.
If distortions should occur when playing
prerecorded cassettes, we recommend
you to copy the recording on a cassette of
a renowned make.
To prevent distortions due to the cassette
itself, we recommend you to use only C-90
or C-60 cassettes.
You should not stick adhesive labels
or additional labels on the cassette.
During cassette mode, the cassette
may get warm and the label detach
causing malfunctions.
Tips to cassette modeGuarantee
Never expose cassettes for a long time
to very low (below -10° C) or very high
(above +50° C) temperatures inside the
vehicle. Please consider that the tempera-
ture inside the vehicle may be considerab-
ly higher than outside the car.
Avoid exposure of the cassettes to direct
sunlight. It is best to store the cassettes in
their boxes or in the original cassette tray
with reel lock available for most vehicles.
If the high frequencies should get lost after
long operation (about 100 hrs. according
to tape material), the sound head may be
soiled by tape abrasion. In this case, clean
the sound head using a wet cleaning cas-
sette. Use only cleaning cassettes of a
nenowned make and follow the user
manual of the cassette manufacturer.For our car radio systems apply the same
guarantee conditions as for new vehicles.
!A damage in the sense of the
guarantee must not be caused by
improper handling of the system or
by inexpert attempts of repair. In
additioin, no visible damages must
exist.
