Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Please observe the
manuf

acturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
on the data medium at the locations referred
to by the playlist (relative file paths). Note
● Do not u

se adaptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
fil

ble to guarantee fault-free operation of all
functions described here.
● Deactivate the service and warning sounds

Pairing and connection of mobile telephones
You can pair up to 20 mobile telephones to
the Infotainment system, but only one mobile
telephone can be connected as hands-free,
and this or another device as a Bluetooth au-
dio profile.
When the Infotainment system is switched
on, it automatically connects to the last con-
nected mobile telephone. If it is not possible
to connect to this mobile telephone, the tele-
phone management system will try to auto-
matically connect to the next mobile tele-
phone on the list of paired devices.
The maximum range of the Bluetooth ®
con-
nection is approx. 10 metres. The active
Bluetooth ®
connection disconnects if this
distance is exceeded. The connection is auto-
matically re-established as soon as the de-
vice is once again within Bluetooth ®
range.
If the maximum number of paired devices is
reached and you wish to pair another one to
the system, it will automatically replace the
one least used recently. If you wish to replace
it with another one, the user must erase it be-
forehand. To do so:
● Press the Setup button on the device while
in tel
ephone mode. ●
Pre
ss the Bluetooth function button.
● Activate the P

firm the process. Note
● It m

ay be necessary to confirm the phone-
book data transfer request on the mobile tel-
