Partner.
Operating the radio navigation system when the
vehicle is moving.
The requirements of today's street traffic demand from the driver that he
always concentrates fully when driving.
The extensive and fastidious equipment details of this system offer -
besides the possibilites of entertainment - also a wide range of information
which will help you reach the trip destination quickly and reliably.
Only if the traffic situation allows it, should you operate the radio
navigation system with its wide range of possibilites.
The volume settings must be selected in such a way that acoustic signals
from the outside, such as e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police
cars, ambulances and fire brigade), can be heard at any time.
WARNING
Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around you!
As the driver you are fully responsible for the traffic safety. Only
use the functions in such a way that you always maintain the
control over your vehicle in all traffic situations!
Anti-theft coding
After removing the unit, the anti-theft coding prevents electronically the
use of the unit by an unauthorised person. If the information “
SAFE” appears in the display after switching on the unit,
it can only be operated again by entering the correct code.
Before using the navigation system and the map
display
•Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
•Street and location names can be changed. There are exceptional
cases in which the names stored on the CD might not correspond to the
changed names.
•The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommendation
for reaching the trip destination. While driving please pay attention to stop-
ping restrictions, traffic lights, one-way streets, toe change restrictions,
channels and ferries.
WARNING
The road traffic legislation (StVO) is always applicable, also if a
driving recommendation does not comply with the StVO.

Radio mode
Station finding
Automatic station finding
– Touch the rocker button , the station finding starts in the
selected direction, select the first station with a good reception
and play it.
Manual station finding
– Also stations with a weak reception, which are not taken into account by the automatic station finding, can be set with the
manual station finding.
Call up function
– Press the rocker button for more than 2 seconds - a signal tone sounds and “ manual” appears in the info field.
– If the rocker button is held pressed, the automatic station finding starts; this means the frequency changes quickly while
the tone switches to mute. The automatic station finding stops
if the rocker button is released. For fine tuning briefly press the
rocker button (see following point).
– Briefly press the rocker button - the displayed frequency changes in individual steps (FM: 0.1 MHz, AM: 9 kHz).
If the identification “ Manual” is no longer shown in the info field, the func-
tion is switched off again.
utomatic storing of radio stations (AS function )
The six best RDS stations can be automatically stored from the
respective service area (radio data system, which makes it
possible together with the radio program to transfer additionally
more information). They are stored on the station buttons .
This function is particularly useful on journeys.
If FM mode is set
– Press the button AS for more than two seconds - the system searches the six most powerful RDS stations and
stores them. “ Autostore” is displayed on the screen. After
ending the processs the most powerful station is set.
– You can call up the stored station with the station buttons .
Note
If there are less than six RDS stations, the stations without RDS are stored
and classified according to the field power on the remaining station
buttons. If there are less than six radio stations (TP) the remaining station
buttons are not changed.
Storing radio stations
You can store on the station buttons - three ranges -
FM (UKW), TP (Traffic Program = radio station ) and AM (MW) -
each six stations on two memory levels (e.g. memory levels FM1
and FM2)
– Set the desired station with the rocker button .

– While the station to be stored is being listened to, the desired station button must be held as long as possible until a short
signal tone confirms the storing.
– The program name (RDS station) or the station frequency is shown in the info field after the successful storing.
Note
•In the case of RDS stations, besides the program name also the
regional frequency is stored.
•The memory is also available after disconnecting the battery.
•The field for the selected station buttons is marked in the radio infor-
mation display.
Retrieve radio station
To retrieve the stored station only briefly press the respective
station button . The program name or the frequency belonging
to this is displayed in the info field. If the stored frequency has no
high quality reception, the unit automatically selects a suitable
alternative frequency (Best-Station-Function) of the stored
station.
Note
Only touch the button , otherwise the already displayed frequency is
stored.
Playing radio station (Scan)
Stations of a waveband (TP, FM and AM) can be played briefly
one after the other (for ten seconds).
– Select the desired waveband via “ Select source”.
– Press the button ; the function Scan and the station name (or the frequency) is indicated in the infor field.
– If you wish to select the scanned station, press again the button . Thus the scan function is ended.
Note
If you have selected no station, the scan function is repeated after a
frequency process.
Radio mode with RDS and RDS regional
How does RDS function?
The function RDS (Radio Data System) is always active on the radio navi-
gation system. The broadcasting companies emit RDS information in
addition to the program, which is received by the RDS receiver in the
coded form.
The following functions are controlled by the transmitted code.
Program Identification (PI-Code) ; The radio detects the already
received station through the PI code.
Program Service Name (PS-Code); The PS-Code transmits the RDS
station name, which is displayed in the radio information display, e.g.
radio 21. As some station companies modify the RDS station name via the

PS-Code (e.g for advertisement purpose ), there is the possibility to
change the RDS station name in the menu “ Audio Settings ” (call up via
menu field “ Settings”).
Alternative frequencies (AF-Code) ; The program of a station , e.g.
radio 21 emits different frequencies based on the limited range of the ultra
short wavebands of several broadcasting stations. The AF-Code commu-
nicates to the unit all possible frequencies for the corresponding station.
RDS ensures that the best receivable frequency of the selected station is
automatically and precisely set not to be heard.
Traffic radio identification (TP-Code = Traffic Program) ; This informa-
tion communicates to the receiver that a traffic radio station is just being
received.
Traffic information identification (TA-Code = Traffic Announcement) ;
The unit detects a traffic information by the TA-Code. If the radio is set
very low or in the CD mode, the unit switches automatically to the traffic
information in the programmed volume. Simultaneously the unit switches
to mono play function.
EON (Enhanced Information Concerning Other Networks) ; EON is a
RDS function, which ensures that all traffic information of a broadcasting
company is transmitted in the TP mode. Large broadcasting companies
(e.g. NDR) emit simultaneously and frequently various stations, e.g.
NDR 1, NDR 2, NDR 3 etc.... Independent of the already set station of a
broadcasting company, traffic information of other stations of this broad-
casting company can also be transmitted.
Catastrophy announcements ; Catastrophy announcements always
take priority over all other functions. The message “ Alarm” is displayed on
the screen.
RDS regional
Certain programs of the broadcasting companies are divided into regional
programs at specific times. Examplewise NDR 1 transmits at certain times
regional programs with different content e.g. for Schleswig-Holstein and
Hamburg. First of all the unit attempts to set only alternative frequencies of the
selected station.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “
program loss”,
the unit accepts also frequencies, which are “ related” to the station NDR
1. As these stations emit temporarily different programs and due to such
a change in frequency also the program from one of the related stations
can be heard.
Basically the station change is only intended for stations with exact PI-
Code. In case of poor reception, however an automatic switch over to a
regional “ related” station family can be performed.
In the menu “ Audio Settings ” the function RDS regional can be set via
the menu field “ RDS REG” to “auto ” or “off”. When opting for “ auto” the
change to a regional “ related” station can only be performed if there is a
risk of losing the station.
Anchoring the RDS station name
As some station companies modify the RDS station name via the PS-
Code (e.g. for advertisement purposes) there is the possibility to anchor
the RDS station name in the menu “ Audio Settings”:
•fixed - the RDS station name is anchored as fixed, i.e. the FM and TP
station stored on the station buttons are shown with their RDS station
names (e.g. radio 21).
•variable- allows the display of advertisement texts and weather reports
in the info field.
Note
•After switching on, the unit searches the highest quality receiveable
frequency for the location of the selected station. The unit can remain
mute for several seconds depending on the reception position and the
number of alternative frequencies.
•The evalutation of the RDS information can last several minutes
depending on the power of the receivable signal.
