Range selection
FM range: press the BN key repeatedly until the display shows the required range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM
3».
AM Range: press the BN key repeatedly until the display shows «MW» (medium wave) or «LW» (long
wave).
Last station memory
Once the selection has been made, the last programme tuned on this range can be played (Last Station
Memory) While in Last Station Memory mode, the set stores the settings present before it is turned off:
selected station, CD or TAPE, and plays them when the set is turned on again.
Stereo reception - FM
When a stereo station is received, the display shows the corresponding symbol.
Traffic information reception (TP)
TP (Traffic Program): RDS station able to transmit traffic broadcasts.
TP function activation
Give the TP key a short press This enables the traffic broadcast reception function: the display shows the
message "TP"
When traffic information is received with the TP function active and another sound source is playing (e.g.
CD or tape), the source is interrupted to listen to the radio information and the display shows the message
"TA INFO" for 10 seconds.
At the end of the traffic information, the soruce is automatically switched to the source selected originally.
NOTE: if the station tuned in is not an RDS station able to broadcast traffic information, a search is
automatically started for an RDS station when the TP function is selected.
Interrupting traffic information
Give the TP key a short press. The function still remains active to receive future traffic information.
Because the radio offers the EON service, another station belonging to the same network may tune in
while listening to a radio station to provide traffic information (only with TP function enabled); it will re­
turn to the original station automatically at the nd of the news.
NOTE: traffic information is provided at minimum volume. This volume may be adjusted by means of the
EXPERT control menu.
// only traffic information is to be played, activate the function by means of the TP key and set
the volume to zero using knob A
Alternative frequency (AF)
During reception of an RDS programme that is broadcast by several stations at different frequencies, the
radio will automatically switch to the frequency with the best local reception.
NOTE: in a very poor reception area, the user may become aware of attempts to switch between sound
frequencies due to frequent pauses. In this case, it is advisable to deactivate the AF function
RDS-EON
temporarily.

Tuning RDS programmes (IS LEARN) function (see EXP)
The IS LEARN function (which can be run only after activating the EXPERT function) can be used to
store up to 30 programmes in the IS memory (virtual memory area that does not correspond to storage
keys).
Stored programmes can be called up one by one as described in the EXP section.
The IS memory is useful when the station selection keys are restored or when the tuning stops on a new
reception field and you do not wish to deleted stored stations from preset keys.
Starting the automatic IS LEARN function
Use the BN key to select the range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM 3».
Press the SRC key for longer than 2 seconds. «IS ...» will appear on the display, the receiver starts the
search.
If an attempt is made to start the IS LEARN search without the IS mode being active (see EXPERT), the
display will show the message "EXPERT".
NOTE: Always wait for the end of the automatic intelligent search (IS).
If no reception is possible, the automatic intelligent research may stay on, e.g. in an underground garage
or if the aerial is defective. In this case, the automatic search can be interrupted by pressing one of the
station selection keys from 1 to 6.
The automatic intelligent search IS ensures up to 30 stations can be stored with optimum reception.
During automatic intelligent search IS, RDS programmes are stored first ordered by programme code, fol­
lowed by FM stations.
Calling up the contents of the IS memory
Stations can be called up from the memory in the required direction by giving a short press to one of the
keys A or B. «IS-SCAN» appears on the display during station selection.
Programme types (PTY)
Many radio programmes offer the programme type service (PTY) in the FM range (FM1, FM 2, FM3) The
message «NEWS» is displayed during a news programme, for example.
The PTY function activates a search filter that allows the radio to tune only to stations that broadcast pro­
grammes with a preset PTY code.

one attempt and the next, as indicated below.
WARNING: waiting times
To make it impossible to restore the radio to operation and deactivate the code by repeated, suc-

A

cessive attempts, specific waiting times must be left between attempts.
The radio must not be switched on during the standby time.
It must still be connected to the power supply
As long as the message "SAFE" is on the display, the waiting time is not over.
The waiting time is up when the number of the next attempt can be seen on the display (e.g. "2-
---")•
The following table shows the waiting times between attempts:

When the end of the tape is reached the side changes automatically.
The meanings of the symbols on the display are as follows:
«TAPE A» : top side of tape
«TAPE B» : bottom side of tape.
MSS function
MSS = Music-Search-System
This function can be used to forward/rewind to the beginning of the track to obtain the "skip track" or
"repeat track" function.
Pauses of at least 3 seconds are left between tracks for the MSS function (without an announcement
text). Musical pieces with very low passages (e.g. classical music) are not suitable because these are
treated as pauses.
Activating MSS
The MSS function can be turned on or off from the EXPERT menu; the standard condition is MSS ON
In this configuration, press key B to make the radio skip a number of tracks corresponding to the number
of presses on the key; «+ --« appears on the display.
Example: 3 short presses on the key: skip three tracks;; «+3» appears on the display.
When keys A or B are pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the CD player is made to forward/rewind fully
to the end of the tape.
If the MSS function is deactivated ( from EXPERT) a short press on key A or B allows fast forward or
fast rewind of the tape.

ADVICE AND PRECAUTIONS
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
The reception conditions will vary greatly while driving.
Reception can be affected by mountains, buildings or bridges especialy when far away from the transmit­
ter of the station you are listening to.
Note: when listening to traffic information (TA), the volume may rise considerably compared to normal
levels.
MAINTENANCE
The radio is built for long-term use without any special maintenance requirements.
If necessary, clean the panel with a soft, antistatic cloth. Cleaning and polishing products could damage
the surface.
TAPES
For optimal playing conditions:
- do not use poor quality tapes, with deformations or peeling labels;
- do not leave the tape inside the radio when not in use;
- do not introduce any objects into the cassette slot;
- do not expose the tapes to sunlight, excessive temperature or high moisture levels;
- replace the tapes in their cases after use;
- dirt on the playing heads caused by tapes could eventually lead to a reduction in high tones during
playing. It is therefore advisable to clean the playing heads at intervals using a special non-abrasive
head cleaning tape;
- it is preferable to C60 tapes or in the worst case C90 tapes to ensure optimum playing quality at all
times. The very fine tape contained in very long cassettes could also break very easily;
- avoid inserting cassettes with loose tapes, particularly if C90, because the tape could emerge and block
the mechanism. If the radio detects a loose tape or similar problems, the cassette is in any case auto­
matically ejected;
- do not lubricate the tape mechanism;
- do not touch the playing heads with magnetic or hard items.
