Before using the car radio, read the following instructions carefully.

The display can be adjusted to your preferred viewing angle in order to enhance legibility.
Selecting the operating mode
Enhancing display legibility
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System provides FM reception with enhanced convenience. An increasing number of radio stations now broadcast RDS information supplementary to the program proper. As soon as stations can be recognized, the station code appears, in some cases with indication of the region, e.g. NDR1 NDS (Niedersachsen). Activating RDS causes the station keys to function as program keys. You now know exactly what station you are receiving, and you can therefore also select the desired station.
AF - alternative frequency
The AF (alternative frequency) function ensures that the best available frequency of the station being received is selected automatically. Switching AF on/off: During radio mode Press TU: menu level 2 is called up. Hold AF down until the beep sounds. This function is active when AF is lit in the display.
Note: AF is deactivated when you switch off RDS.
Selecting the frequency band
You can select from the following frequency bands: FM AM 87.7 107.9 MHz, kHz as follows: Press TU: menu level 2 is displayed.
Activating/deactivating RDS
Activating/deactivating RDS: During radio mode Press TA briefly. The selected settings appear briefly on the display. When RDS is activated, AF appears in reverse video on the display. The radio may be muted briefly during the search for the channel with the best reception. If SEARCH appears on the display when the unit is switched on or when a stored frequency is called up, the unit is automatically searching for an alternative frequency. SEARCH disappears when an alternative frequency has been found, or when the waveband has been completely searched. If the station can no longer be received with satisfactory quality: Select a different station. 16

Menu level 2

Select the frequency band by pressing BND repeatedly until the desired frequency band appears. The sequence is: FM I, FM II, FMT, AM, AMT.

Station tuning

Station seek / Press / : the radio automatically looks for the next station. If / is held down at the top or bottom, the seek run continues forwards or backwards at higher speed.
If necessary, these functions can be deactivated on menu level 2. Manual tuning: Press << >>: the frequency is increased/reduced in steps. Hold the << >> rocker down to the right or left to change the frequency quickly.

Automatically saving the strongest station with Travelstore
You can store the six strongest FM and AM stations in the current reception region automatically in the order of field strength. This function is particularly useful on long journeys. Proceed as follows: Press TU: menu level 2 is displayed. Press TS briefly. T-STORE flashes on the display. The six strongest FM stations are automatically stored on the T (Travelstore) memory level. If fewer than six stations can be received, four lines appear through the memory locations which are not occupied. When the procedure has been completed, the strongest station (ST 1) is selected. Stations can also be stored manually on the Travelstore level if required (see Storing stations).
AM, AMT You can call up the stations on the selected frequency band directly: Press the keys ST1 - ST6. Calling up stations on the other frequency band: Press NEXT: the other frequency band is displayed. Then select the stored stations using ST1 -ST6.
Sampling stations with Radio Scan
You can sample briefly the stations which can be received on the selected frequency band. Radio Scan can be started only when PTY is deactivated (PTY is not lit on the display). If necessary, deactivate PTY on menu level 2. Proceed as follows: Press TU and disable PTY using the PTY key. Switching on Scan: Press SCA briefly. All stations on the frequency band which can be received are sampled briefly in turn. SCAN and the flashing station name/frequency appear alternately on the display. Selecting a sampled station/deactivating Scan: Press SCA or one of the rocker keys briefly. If a station is not selected, Scan is switched off automatically when the seek function has passed through the complete frequency range. The station previously selected is played.
Changing the sampling time (Scan)
The sampling time can be selected between 5 and 30 seconds. If you wish to change the duration of the sampling time, refer to Programming with DSC SCANTIME.
Toggling between stereo and mono (FM)
You can toggle between stereo and mono in the DSC menu. This can be useful in areas where reception is critical. When the unit is switched on, stereo is selected automatically. When reception is poor, the unit switches smoothly to mono. If you wish to switch to mono, refer to Programming with DSC STEREO/ MONO. The state selected appears briefly on the display.

Changing the sensitivity of the seek run
You can change the sensitivity of the automatic seek run. If lo is displayed, seek only recognizes stations with good reception (low sensitivity). If lo is not displayed, seek also recognizes stations with poorer reception. To adjust the sensitivity, refer to Programming with DSC FM/AM Sens.
Automatic bandwidth switching (SHARX)
You can activate automatic bandwidth switching on the FM band by means of the SHARX function in the DSC menu. This is very useful when a number of stations are close together. Interference from strong adjacent stations is largely eliminated when SHARX ON is selected (factory default setting). If necessary, refer to Programming with DSC SHARX.
