FUNCTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
SWITCHING ON THE RADIO
The radio switches on when the ON/OFF button is pressed briefly.
When the radio is turned on, the volume is limited to level 20 if it
was set to a higher value when previously used or to level 5 if it
was previously set to value 0 or to Mute/Pause. The previously set
value is maintained in all other cases.
When the radio is switched on with the key extracted from the
ignition, it switches off automatically after about 20 minutes. After
the radio has switched itself off automatically it can be switched on
for a further 20 minutes by pressing the ON/OFF button.
SWITCHING OFF THE RADIO
Briefly press the ON/OFF button.
SELECTING THE RADIO FUNCTIONS
By pressing the FM AS button quickly and repeatedly, the following
audio sources can be selected cyclically:
❒TUNER (“FM1”, “FM2”, “FMA”).
By pressing the AM button briefly and repeatedly, the following
audio sources can be selected cyclically:
❒TUNER (“MW1”, “MW2”).
SELECTING CD FUNCTION
By pressing the MEDIA button briefly it is possible to select the CD
function.
AUDIO SOURCE MEMORY FUNCTION
If another function (e.g. the radio) is selected whilst listening to a
CD, playback is interrupted and is resumed from the same point
when returning to the CD source.
If another function is selected whilst listening to the radio, the last
station selected is tuned into when returning to Radio mode.
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the volume, turn the ON/OFF knob.
If the volume level is changed during the transmission of traffic
news, the new setting will only be maintained until the update is
finished.
MUTE/PAUSE FUNCTION
(zeroing the volume)
Press thebutton briefly to activate the Mute function. The volume
will gradually decrease and the words “RADIO Mute” (in radio
mode) or “PAUSE” (in CD mode) will be displayed.

volume will gradually increase until it reaches the level set
previously.
When the volume level is changed using the dedicated controls, the
Mute function is deactivated and the volume is adjusted to the new
level selected.

SOUND-SYSTEM

With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in FM and are
enabled to broadcast traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD player is in
operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset volume even with
the radio volume off.
NoteIn some countries there are radio stations that, even with the
TP function activated, do not transmit traffic information (the “TP”
icon appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when TA is
activated it will tune into the last selected station in the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted depends on the
listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal to listening
volume +1.
If the volume is changed during traffic news, the level will not be
shown on the display; the new level will only be maintained during
the news.
While traffic information is being received, “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” will appear on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any button on the
radio.REGIONAL MODE function
(regional transmission reception)
Some national broadcasters will transmit regional programmes at
certain times of the day (that vary from region to region).
This function makes it possible to tune into local (regional)
broadcasters automatically (see “EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune into the regional
stations being broadcast on the selected network, the function must
be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
orbuttons.
The current status of the function appears on the display:
❒“Regional On”: function activated;
❒“Regional Off”: function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have tuned into a regional
station working in a given area and you enter a different area,
then the regional station received in the new area will be
broadcast.
NoteIf the AF and REG functions are on at the same time, once a
border between two regions is crossed, the radio may not switch
correctly to a valid alternative frequency.
251
SOUND-SYSTEM

When the AutoSTore function is activated within the MW band, the
FMA band is automatically selected and the function is performed
there.
NoteSometimes the AutoSTore function is not able to find 6
stations with a strong signal. In this case, the strongest stations will
be duplicated in the free preset buttons.
NoteWhen the AutoSTore function is activated, the stations that
were previously stored in the FMA band are deleted.
EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio is configured to receive emergency alerts in RDS mode in
exceptional circumstances or where dangerous situations are
present (earthquakes, floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by
the current broadcaster.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be turned off.
The word “Alarm” will be shown in the display during the
transmission of an emergency announcement. The volume of the
radio will change during this announcement in the same way as
during a traffic bulletin.
EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that group multiple
broadcasters that transmit traffic information together. In this case,
the programme of the station that is being listened to will be
temporarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function activated);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time these are broadcast by
one of the broadcasters on the same circuit.
STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, playback is automatically switched
from Stereo to Mono.
