Automatic PTY search
When selecting a programme type, an automatic search may be activated in two ways.
4F039LL01
1. Six programme types are allocated to the 6 programme keys (station selection keys). The preset al­
location may be altered as required.
2. A programme type may be selected from the stored list and an automatic search may then be started.
The procedure is described below:
1. Reactivate PTY function
Press the TP for longer than 2 seconds until the message «PTY 0N» appears on the display. Then the last
type of programme selected will appear on the display (e.g. «POP»).
2. setting programme type
Give a short press to a key from 1 to 6. An automatic PTY search is started for the next station offering
the selected programme type and the programme type is briefly displayed (e.g. "POP"), followed by the
station code and the message "PTY".
Alternatively, press one of the keys A or B repeatedly until the required programme type appears on the
display.
Press one of the keys A or B for more than 2 seconds until the automatic PTY search starts. The auto­
matic PTY search stops automatically on the next station offering the preselected programme type, and
shows the programme type (e.g. «POP») and the message «PTY».
NOTE: If no station offers the selected programme type, the last station tuned is played and the PTY
function is abandoned.
3. deactivating the PTY function
This occurs automatically after about 10 seconds.
Storing PTY programme keys: station selection keys
The standard setting is defined in the table:
1 2 3 4 5 6
NEWS SPORT POP ROCK M CLASSICS EDUCATE
Each station selection key may be occupied by any programme type as required:
1. Activating the PTY function:
Press the TP key for longer than 2 seconds until the display shows »PTY ON» and select the set pro­
gramme type (e.g. «NEWS»).
2. Press one of the keys A or B repeatedly until the required programme type appears on the display.
3. Press one of the station selection keys for longer than 2 seconds.

ALTERING EXPERT SETTINGS
Turning on EXPERT
Depress the EXP key for 2 seconds until «EXPERT» appears on the display.
4F041LL01
Choosing options
Select the settings to be checked or altered using keys A or B.
Example: Setting maximum volume upon start-up. (N.3): use keys A or B to select the required option
(e.g. ONVOL 13), the display shows «ONVOL 13». The selected station is played at the set speed.
Altering the setting
Turn the volume knob to set the required volume, the display shows "ONVOL 20", for example.
Turn the knob clockwise: increase the value; turn the knob anticlockwise: reduce the value.
Concluding the setting
Set the next function using keys A or B
Alternatively, press the EXP for 2 seconds until "EXIT" appears on the display. EXPERT mode is closed
(except for the code and clock).
POSSIBLE SETTINGS
1 - set time
«TM 2:13» appears, for example.
Turn the volume knob to set hours and minutes:
- turn fast to adjust hours
- turn slow to adjust minutes
Give a short press to the EXP key to start the clock.
2 - activate/deactivate synchronisation of the clock with the time sent by some RDS stations
- turn volume knob clockwise: «SYNC ON»: the built-in clock goes forward (synchronisation) toward
RDS information.
- turn the knb anticlockwise: »SYNC OFF».
Synchronisation may be deactivated in places where no RDS TIMER signal is received.
NOTE: The signal sent by the stations may often be incorrect.

3 - setting maximum volume upon start-up
«0NV0L 20» appears for example, where 20 is the setting in a range that extends up to 31
- turn volume knob clockwise: VOL +
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: VOL -
Volume is limited only when volume is higher than the set value when the radio is turned off.
4 - setting minimum volume for traffic information
«TA VOL 16» appears for example (limit values from 4 to 31)
- turn volume knob clockwise = VOL +
- turn volume knob anticlockwise = VOL -
During adjustment, the volume is as selected for traffic news.
5 - automatic deactivation by means of car ignition switch
- turn volume knob clockwise: «IGN ON» appears : in this way, the radio can be turned on/off using the
car ignition switch.
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: "IGN OFF": activation/deactivation takes place only via the VOL knob.
6 - IS LEARN activation/deactivation
- turn volume knob clockwise: «IS 0N» appears
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: «ISN 0FF».
7 - LRN activation/deactivation
With «LRN OFF» (standard mode) the radio remains on the selected station until the incoming signal is
practically illegible.
In «LRN ON» mode, the radio turns to another station as soon as the incoming signal quality falls.
When in an area where the reception of RDS programmes with traffic news is uncertain, the station search
may be blocked in the radio function.
- turn volume knob clockwise: «LRN ON» appears: automatic search of traffic news broadcasts is acti­
vated automatically,
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: «LRN OFF»: automatic search of traffic news broadcasts is not acti­
vated.
8 - activation/deactivation of automatic regional programme change
When the same RDS programme is transmitted from various regional stations, the radio may switch be­
tween stations due to the reception field.
- turn volume knob clockwise: "REG ON" appears: regional p rogramme may be changed automatically in
this mode.
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: «REG OFF»: regional programme cannot be changed automatically.
9 - delayed activation/deactivation for connected booster (BDLY)
NOTE: remember that the Booster switch signal is connected to pin C6 of the radio.
This mode eliminates the abrupt on/off manoeuvre:
- turn volume knob clockwise: »BDLY ON» appears
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: «BDLY OFF»: is disabled.

10 - suppression of sound in case of incoming/outgoing phone call
- turn volume knob clockwise: «PHONE 0FF» no use of phone connection
- turn volume knob clockwise: «PH0NE 0N»: the radio sound is automatically deactivated in the case of
a phone call
The «PH0NE ON" function required the mobile phone mount base to be connected.
The «PH0NE IN» function allows a conversation via the car speakers in the case of a phone call.
The «PH0NE IN» function requires the mobile phone to be connected in handsfree mode
If the radio is off, a phone call (IN or OUT) is still possible. In this case the radio
- comes on automatically;
- allows listening under sound conditions identical to the last phone call (BASS, TREBLE, FADER,
BALANCE);
- goes off automatically at the end of the phone call
11 - setting mobile phone input sensitivity
Allows adaptation to the signal broadcast level for the type of handsfree system installed.
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: «PHONE 00» : low input sensitivity
- turn volume knob clockwise: «PHONE 03»: high input sensitivity
12 - security code activation
The code is not activated if «CODE» appears on the display.
If «SAFE» appears on the display, the code is activated.
NOTE: See next section for more detailed instructions.
13 - Controlling volume according to vehicle speed (SCV)
Standard value: «SCVOL 19»
Function off: «SCVOL - -«
Function at maximum efficiency: «SCVOL 34»
Setting:
1. Vehicle still, engine on: set required volume using the relevant knob.
2. Depress the EXP key for more than 2 seconds until «EXPERT» appears on the display.

Checking code activation
Select the EXPERT control level and press keys A or B until «SAFE» or «C0DE» appears on the display:
If «SAFE» appears: the code is activated
If « C0DE» appears: the code is not activated
DEACTIVATING THE CODE
1. Activate EXPERT mode: «SAFE» appears on the display.
2. Set the code, as described previously.
3. To confirm the code: briefly press the EXP key until «CODE» appears on the display: the coding is no
longer active.
NOTE: If an incorrect code is entered, the message «SAFE» remains on the display and the procedure
must be repeated in full. Respect the waiting times between one attempt and the next, as indi­
cated below.
RESTORING TO OPERATION
If the radio is disconnected from the car power supply (e.g. when servicing), it is protected electronically
with the code active.
1. Turn on the radio: the message «SAFE» appears on the display, «1 - - - -« appears after more than 3

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:
Unsuccessful attempts
