system switches off after
a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.

charge.
USB, portable player, connection key
Playback of my
u SB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time\
).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the
u SB port at the
same time, I am unable
to play the music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function.
t

function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of t\
he
track being played with Apple
® players. Disconnect and reconnect to the u SB port
(the u SB function takes priority over streaming).
