Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
Your device is equipped with a convenience coding. If the device is being operat-
ed for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the
vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, you must first switch on the ig-
nition using the ignition key before switching on the device.
If you want to install the device in another vehicle you will need to enter the safe-ty code. In this case you will have to call on a specialist garage. 

2General information

As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes
its use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessa- ry.
Enter code
›
Switch on the radio with the ignition turned on.
›
Use the selection buttons 1 - 4
12

» Fig. 1 on page 3 to enter the safety
code.
›
Confirm the safety code by pressing the selection buttons 6
12
.
If an incorrectly entered code is confirmed, the procedure can be repeated once
again.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter the safety code again after
one hour has expired if both the device and the ignition have stayed turned on
during that time.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.

classified as a class 1 laser product in accordance with the national/interna-
tional standards DIN EN 60825-1: 2008-05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR,
Subchapter 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 such
that the laser is restricted to the inside of the unit. However, the installed la- ser could be classified in a higher class were the housing to be removed. Forthis reason, never remove the housing of the unit.

drives without a drawer ” or use Eco Discs.■

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.
■
A dirty, mechanically damaged, unreadable or incorrectly inserted CD can cause
playback problems. The CD may not be playable or may jump because of this.
Check the CD and insert it properly into the unit. Should the problem persist , try
using another CD and visit a specialist garage if necessary.

Only write on the CD using appropriate pens.
■
Do not stick anything to the CD.
Note
■ Poor or unpaved road surfaces and severe vibrations may cause the CD to jump.■In cold weather or after rain showers, moisture (condensate) may deposit in the
unit. This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. Wait until the mois-
ture has evaporated if this happens.■
Should a CD be dirty, never clean it in a circular motion, but instead work from
the inside out. Use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavy stains, we recommend that
you clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner and allow it to dry.
