IntroductionImportant Information. Traffic safetyTravelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.

really permits this.
WARNING

different radio functions.•High audio volume may represent a danger to you and to others.•Adjust the volume in a way that you can distinguish surrounding noise,
for example, horns and sirens, etc.•Radio settings should be made when the car is stopped or by a
passenger.

Remember7
If you are driving through an area with bad coverage, each automatic re-tune
will result in short breaks or slight changes in volume in the audio source.
Signal reflected
When driving in built-up or mountainous areas, the signal may be affected.
Interference is normal and is not a fault in the radio.Using your CD player– Do not insert credit cards, coins or other objects inside the CD
unit.
– Do not insert irregular-shaped discs, discs with anti-scratch protection or discs with labels attached inside the unit.
– Do not insert DVDs, Dual-Disc, DVD+, Flip Disc as these contain large quantities of information and can not be read.
– Only use standard 12 cm diameter CDs.
– Some anti-copy CDs cannot be played in the unit.
– Store discs in their cases when not in use.
– Insert the CD into the unit until the mechanism automatically pulls it.
– Insert CD with the printed side facing upwards and at the correct angle into the front opening of the radio.
– Do not try to insert a CD when there is already a CD in the unit. – The radio is fitted with a disconnection protective device and
when the temperature of the CD unit is too high, the radio
switches to the last selected source.
– The playing time of files recorded with a variable bit rate may not be accurate
Tips when handling CDs– Hold the CD by the edge or by the edges and through the central hole. Figure prints and scratches reduce sound quality.
– CDs left in direct sunlight or very high temperatures may be damaged or may block the CD player.
– Normally CD-R/CD-RW discs have an operating temperature of -5 to 55ºC. Please, see the manufacturer specifications for the CD.Important for care– Do not use fluids such as benzene or solvents to clean CDs as these may scratch the surface of the disc.
– Use soft non-fray cloths and clean in straight lines from the centre to the outer edge. If dirt is very incrusted, use commercial
CD cleaners and check manufacturer information.
– CDs recorded using Windows Vista in UDF format can not normally be played. The ISO-9660 format should be used.
