SYSTEM RESET function
This function is used to restore all settings
to their preset factory values. The options
are:
❍NO: no restore operation;
❍YES: the default parameters are re-
stored. The display will show “Reset-
ting” during this operation. At the end
of the operation, the source does not
change and the previous situation will
be displayed.
TELEPHONE SETUP
If a hands-free kit is installed on the car,
when there is an incoming phone call the car
radio audio will be connected to the tele-
phone output. The telephone volume is al-
ways fixed, but it can be adjusted during a
conversation using the left knob A(fig.1).
The fixed telephone audio volume can be ad-
justed using the “SPEECH VOLUME” func-
tion in the Menu. The word PHONE will ap-
pear on the display during the deactivation
of the audio for the phone call.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft pro-
tection system based on the exchange of in-
formation between the car radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer) on
the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum security
and avoids the password having to be en-
tered every time after the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the outcome of the check is positive, the
radio will start to work, whilst if the codes
compared are not the same or if the elec-
tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-
placed, the equipment will notify the user
of the need to enter the password following
the procedure in the paragraph below.
