After the expiration of the warranty, a piec e of equipment in need of repair will be 
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, 
however, a precondition that the housin g has not been damaged and no unauthor-
ised attempts have been made to carry out repairs.
Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper 
handling of the system or from unprofession al repair attempts. It is also essential 
that there is no external damage.Operation of radioThe radio should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.
The volume settings must be selected in  such a way that audible signals from the 
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars,  ambulances and fire

hour has expired, when the unit and th e ignition have been switched on.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.Basic settingSwitching the unit on and off– The system is switched on or off by turning / pressing the rotary / push  knob .If the key is pulled out of the ignition lo ck with the unit switched on, the unit wil
