Activating/Deactivating RDS
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatically
retuning to alternative frequencies.
In certain conditions, tracking may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.
Press the "Radio Settings " button.
Activate/Deactivate "RDS options".
Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives
priority to TA alert messages.
To operate, this function needs good reception
of a radio station that transmits this type of
message. While traffic information is being
broadcast, the current media is automatically
interrupted so that the TA message can be
heard. Normal play of the media previously
playing is resumed at the end of the message.

Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players
via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not
supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection,
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth
streaming, if compatible.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".mp3", ".mp4", ".m4a",
".flac", ".ogg" file extensions and with a bit rate
of between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps (300 Kbps
maximum for ".flac" files).
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we
recommend choosing file names less than 20
characters long that do not contain any special
characters (e.g. “ ? .
; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT or FAT32
format (File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB
cable for the portable device.
Telephone
Pairing a Bluetooth®
telephone
Up to 10 phones can be paired to the system.
Activate the Bluetooth function on the telephone
beforehand and ensure that it is "visible to all"
(telephone configuration).
To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is
used (from the telephone or from the system),
ensure that the code is the same in the system
and in the telephone.
The services available depend on the
network, the SIM card and the
compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used.
Check for services availability in the phone's
manual and with the operator.
The profiles compatible with the system are: HFP, OPP, PBAP, DID, A2DP,
AVRCP, SPP and PAN.
Go to the Brand's website for more information
(compatibility, additional help, etc.).

as "

Streaming": wireless playing of audio files
on the telephone.
The system cannot be connected to multiple telephones with the same profile.
No more than 2 phones can be connected
simultaneously ( 1 per profile).
The Bluetooth profiles chosen on the
phone have priority over the profiles
selected on the system.
If the pairing procedure fails, it is recommended
that you deactivate and then reactivate the
