and audio DMB)*
Introduction Some units are equipped with an additional
DAB r
a

dio receiver.
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcasting stand-
ards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and each has a channel
name e.g. 12 A .
Several DAB stations are combined into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
DAB is currently not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB, is displayed  in DAB ra-
dio mode. The system and functions settings
allow in this case a change of FM station
››› page 18. In the system and functions
settings there is the configuration of other
settings for the tracking of stations and for
playing DAB notifications. Note
The radio stations are responsible for the
cont ent

of the information sent.10

If the sound from the external audio source is
too low, increase the output volume on the
external audio source if possible. If this is not
enough, set the input volume in the system
settings to level 2 or level 3
››› page 18.

Functional description of speed-dependent
volume adjustment (GALA)
The speed-dependent volume regulation au-
tomatically increases the volume as the vehi-
cle speed increases.
You can set the degree to which the volume
increases with speed on a scale between 1
and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases on-
ly slightly as the speed of the vehicle increa-
ses. At a high setting the volume increases
further. At 0 speed-dependent volume ad-
justment is switched off.
DAB-FM LINKING Function
If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB available), the unit
attempts to find the station on the FM fre-
quency band and tune to it.
Automatic station tracking between frequen-
cy bands only works if the DAB station and
the FM station transmit the same station
identifier or the DAB signal indicates a corre-
sponding station on the FM frequency band. »

Settings menu
Once the corresponding FM station has been
f ou
nd,
(FM) is displayed after the station
name. When reception for the corresponding
DAB station returns, the unit will switch back
to DAB mode after a short time.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
lost and the station cannot be found on the
FM frequency band, the radio will be muted. 20
