Note
■
The Radio Data System (RDS) is used to transfer additional information. The
RDS enables program identification, program type identification (PTY), the recep-
tion of traffic reports (TP) or automatic station tracking, for example. If there is
sufficient reception, RDS-compatible radio stations will be displayed by station
name rather than station frequency.■
The Alternative frequency (AF) function ensures that the best receivable fre-
quency for the selected station is set automatically.
■
The device may not be fully functional in countries where RDS is not adequately
supported. We therefore recommend switching off the RDS regional setting as
well as the Alternative frequency (AF) setting, f applicable. Otherwise, these set-
tings can affect the functionality of the radio.

the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.
Inserting the mobile phone into the Phonebox›Press on the edge of the lid A in the direction of the arrow, and open the stor-
age compartment.›
Place the mobile phone in the storage compartment

WARNINGFor safety reasons, the storage compartment must always be closed when
driving.
Note
■ Protective cases or cases around the mobile phone placed in the storage com-
partment may interfere with the phone signal strength.■
Metallic objects such as coins or keys under the mobile phone can affect the
