If the ejected disc is not taken out within 10 seconds, it will be retracted again for safety reasons. However, the unit will not change to the CD source.
WARNING■ The CD/DVD player is a laser product.■On the manufacturing date, this unit was classified as a class 1 laser prod-
uct in accordance with the national/international standards
DIN EN 60825-1: 2008-05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR, sub-chapter J The laser used in this class 1 laser product is so weak that there is no risk of danger
when operated correctly.■
This product is designed so that the laser is restricted to the inside of the
unit. However, the installed laser could be classified in a higher class were
the housing to be removed. For this reason, never remove the housing of
the unit.
CAUTION
■ Be sure to wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD. Otherwise you can damage the drive inside the unit.■
Insert into the CD drive only original audio CDs or standard CD-R and CD-RW
discs.
■
Do not stick anything to the CD!
■
Outside temperatures that are either too high or too low might cause the
unit to be temporarily unavailable. The unit switches to the last active menu.
Note
■ After pressing the symbol button  it takes a few seconds for the CD to be
ejected.■
Poor or unpaved road surfaces and severe vibrations may cause the CD to
jump.
■
The device may be affected by damp (condensation) in cold or humid condi-
tions. This can lead to playback jumps or impair the play function. Wait until
the moisture has evaporated if this happens.

Unreadable SD memory card
If there are no readable files on the SDmemory card nothing will play.
Due to differing quality requirements from different card manufacturers, it is
not always possible to guarantee the playback from SD memory cards.
Some files on the SD memory card or SD memory cards cannot be reproduced
or their reproduction may be limited.
CAUTION■ Only use SD cards in standard size. When using smaller SD card with the
adapter the SD memory card can fall out while driving the vehicle due to vibra-
tions from the adapter.■
We recommend using class 4 SD memory cards and higher. This guarantees
the fastest possible access to the audio files.
■
Always store the SD cards in suitable cases to protect them from dirt, dust
and other forms of damage.
USB-, AUX-inputs
Fig. 20
USB and AUX inputs

usual mains power supply. Connected audio sources can be supplied / loaded
with a current of max. 500 mA.
Some connected audio sources may not be recognised and cannot be charged.
The charging of the connected audio source is automatically stopped after
switching off the ignition.
CAUTION
