EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
In the RDS mode the radio is set to re-
ceive emergency announcements in the
case of exceptional circumstances or
events that may cause general danger
(earthquakes, floods, etc.), if they are
broadcast by the station tuned.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be deactivated.
During emergency announcement the dis-
play will show the message “ALARM”.
During this announcement the volume will
change as described for traffic announce-
ments (see paragraph “TA FUNCTION”).
EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
Certain countries have circuits which
group together several stations enabled to
broadcast traffic information. In this case
the programme of the station being heard
will be interrupted temporarily:❒
to receive traffic information (only with
TA function on);
❒
to listen to regional programmes every
time these bulletins are given by one
of the stations of the same circuits.STEREOPHONIC STATIONS
If the signal received is weak, the device
switches automatically from Stereo to
Mono.

TA function
(traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMT) are enabled to also broadcast
information about traffic conditions. In this
case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic announcement)
function on/off, briefly press button
MENU and then select “TA ON” or “TA
OFF”.
IMPORTANT If the TA function (traffic in-
formation) is on, with CD, CD Changer
(if installed), Telephone or Mute/Pause ac-
tive: automatic station tuning will start.
With the TA function it is possible:❒
to search only RDS stations that trans-
mit in the FM band, enabled to broad-
cast traffic information;
❒
to receive traffic information although
CD player or CD Changer are being
used;
❒
to receive traffic information at a pre-
defined minimum volume even with the
radio volume off.
IMPORTANT In certain countries radio
stations exist which, even if the TP func-
tion is on (the display shows “TP”), do not
transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band,
when TA is activated, it passes to the FM1
band on the last station heard. AF function
(alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
❒
“AF ON”: alternative frequency search
on (the display shows “AF”);
❒
“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search
off.
With “AF ON”, the radio is automatical-
ly tuned to the station with the strongest
signal that is broadcasting the same pro-
gramme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the sta-
tion chosen without having to change the
frequency when changing area.
Of course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car is
crossing.
To turn the AF function on/off, press but-
ton MENU, and then select “AF ON” or
“AF OFF”. If the AF function has been
turned on the display shows “AF”.
If the radio is working in the AM band,
when the AF function is activated, it pass-
es to the FM1 band on the last station se-
lected.

REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at deter-
minate times of the day, transmit region-
al programmes which differ from region
to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (region-
al) (see paragraph “EON function”).
Activate this function if you want to tune
automatically to regional stations broad-
casting in the selected band.
To turn the function on/off use button ÷
or
˜
.The display will show the current status
of the function:
❒
“REG ON”: function on.
❒
“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional pro-
gramme is tuned that works in a deter-
minate area and the car enters a different
area, the regional station of the new area
is received.
IMPORTANT If AF and REG are both ac-
tive, when passing from one region to an-
other the radio could not tune properly to
a valid alternative frequency. The volume with which the traffic bulletin
is transmitted varies depending on the lis-
tening volume:
❒
listening volume below 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = 20 (fixed value);
❒
listening volume above 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic
bulletin the value is not shown on the dis-
play and the new value is kept only for the
bulletin in progress.
The TA function is interrupted by press-
ing any sound system button.

Entering the secret code
When turning the sound system on (in the
event of code request), the display will
show the word “CDC CODE” for about
2 seconds, followed by four dashes “----
”.
The secret code comprises four figures
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the corresponding key of the preset sta-
tions (from 1 to 6). Enter the other code
digits in the same way.
If the four figures are not entered within
20 seconds, the display shows the word
“CDC CODE” for 2 seconds and then
fours dashes “----”. This is not to be con-
sidered as an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20
seconds), the radio starts working.
If a wrong code is entered, the radio
sounds a beep, the display shows the word
“CDC CODE” for 2 seconds and then
fours dashes “----” to warn the user that
it is necessary to enter the correct code.Every time the user enters a wrong code,
the waiting time increases gradually (1 min,
2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,1h, 2h,
4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) until reaching a maximum
of 24 hours. The waiting time will be
shown on the display with the word
“CDC WAIT”. When this goes off it is
possible to start the new code entry pro-
cedure.
Code Card
This the document that certifies posses-
sion of the radio. The Code Card contains
the radio model, serial number and secret
code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card care-
fully to be able to give the related data to
the competent authorities in the event of
theft. PAUSE FUNCTION
To pause the CD player, press button
MUTE. The display will show “PAUSE”.
To resume playing the track, press button
MUTE again.
The pause function is deactivated chang-
ing the sound source.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The radio is fitted with an antitheft pro-
tection system based on the exchange of
information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
installed on the car.
This system warrants the highest level of
security and prevents entry of the secret
code every time the radio supply is dis-
connected.
If the result of the check is positive, the
set starts working, whereas if the com-
parison codes are not the same or if the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
is replaced, the device informs the user of
the need to enter the secret code ac-
cording to the procedure described in the
following paragraph.
