Precautions

Before using your new car radio, please read the following information carefully.

Installation

If you would like to install your new car radio yourself or add other audio components to existing ones, then please read the enclosed instructions on installation and connection carefully. In order to ensure that the set operates properly it is necessary for the positive power supply line to be connected to the ignition and the permanent +12 V lead. Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

Traffic safety

Traffic safety always has the highest priority. As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Never use your car radio in a way that could distract you. Please keep in mind that you travel a distance of 14 m per second at a speed of only 50 km/h. Should the traffic situation become particularly demanding, we advise you not to use the radio. Always make sure that you are still able to hear any warning signals coming from outside of the vehicle, such as police or fire engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly. Therefore, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car radio while you are driving.

Accessories

Use only the accessories and spare parts approved by Blaupunkt.

This car radio is supplied with inactive code protection. In order to switch the security coding system on, proceed as described on the following pages. If the coding system is active while the power supply to the system is interrupted (e.g. theft, disconnection of the car battery), the set will be electronically blocked. In such a case it can only be made operable again by entering the correct code number given in the car radio pass.
Enter the code number given in the Blaupunkt car radio pass:
Entry of a wrong code number
It should not be possible for a thief to find out the correct code number by trial and error. This is why the set will be blocked for a certain period of time after a wrong code number has been entered. The display will show CODE ERR and then WAIT. After the first three unsuccessful attempts, the system will shut down for 10 sec.; after further attempts, the waiting time extends to one hour. After 19 unsuccessful attempts, the display will show OFF. In this case you can no longer restart the unit. Note: Keep your car radio pass with the code number in a safe place in order to avoid unauthorised access to your car radio.

To activate the coding system: Turn off the radio. Press and hold down preset buttons 1 and 4 simultaneously, and switch the set on. CODE will appear. Release preset buttons 1 and 4.
The display will briefly show CODE each time the set is turned on.
Grana/Mala RCR127 gb 29 02.05.2002, 13:06 Uhr
Enter the code number given in the Blaupunkt car radio pass and confirm your entry as described in Restart. Now the security coding system is active.
Switching on security coding
Example: The code number is 2521. - Press preset button 1 twice; the display shows 2000. - Press preset button 2 five times; the display shows 2500. - Press preset button 3 twice; the display shows 2520. - Press preset button 4 once; the display shows 2521. To confirm the code number: Press the rocker switch >>. If you have entered the correct code, the unit will now be ready for use. However, if the display shows CODE ERR and then WAIT, you have entered a wrong number. The unit will switch off when the waiting time has elapsed. Turn it on again and re-enter the correct code. If you switch off the set while it is blocked, the waiting time will start to count from zero again as soon as the radio is turned back on.
If the security code system is activated, the unique code must be entered each time the power supply was interrupted. The radio will be operable again as soon as you have entered the correct code. If you have lost your radio pass and forgotten the code number, your radio can only be restarted by one of our authorised service workshops. This is a chargeable service.
Turn on the radio. The display shows CODE. Briefly press preset button 1; the display shows 0000.
Re-start following an interruption of the power supply (coding system is activated)

Note: In the DSC menu you can deactivate the station selection on either MW or LW or for both wavebands at the same time. This has the advantage that only the required bands can be activated, so that you need to press the BND button less often. For more information, please refer to DSC programming - AM ON or AM OFF.
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz MW 531 - 1602 kHz LW 153 - 279 kHz Press the BND button until the desired waveband shows on the display panel.
The Radio Data System offers you more convenience when you listen to FM radio stations. More and more radio stations have begun to broadcast RDS information along with their programmes. As soon as a programme has been identified, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the display, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional programme in Lower Saxony, Germany). If RDS is activated, the preset buttons become programme buttons. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired station quickly. But RDS also offers you further advantages:

REG - regional programme

Certain radio programmes are split up at times into regional programmes offering local information. The 1st programme broadcast by NDR, for example, offers programmes with different contents in the northern German states Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times of the day. If you are listening to a regional programme and move to an area where another linked regional programme becomes stronger, the unit will switch to the new regional programme.

Selecting a waveband

You can select between the following wavebands:
If SEARCH appears in the display when you switch the radio on or when you recall one of the stored frequencies, the unit is automatically searching for an alternative frequency. SEARCH will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has been run through completely. If the sound quality of the selected programme deteriorates appreciably: Tune into another station.
1 sec. REG ON appears in the display. If you leave the service area of the regional programme tuned into, or if you would like to take advantage of the full RDS service, switch to REG OFF. Press the AF button for approximately 1 sec. until REG OFF appears. If the REG function is active, REG ON will be briefly displayed each time you turn the radio on.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

Station tuning

Automatic tuning / Press / ; the car radio will automatically search for the next station. If you hold down the upper or lower part / of the rocker switch, seek tuning will speed up in the upwards or downwards direction.
Manual tuning: Press << >>; the frequency will change in short intervals in the downwards or upwards direction. If you hold down the right or left part of the rocker switch, the frequency scan will speed up.

Changing the memory bank

You can shift between the memory banks I, II and T in order to store stations and recall them later. The currently selected memory bank is indicated in the display. Press the BND button as many times as necessary until the desired memory bank lights up in the display.
Scrolling through the broadcast networks (only FM)
You can use the << >> buttons to tune in stations of your reception area. If several programmes of the broadcast networks can be received, you can scroll through them forwards by pressing >>, or backwards using the << button, e.g. NDR 1, 2, 3, 4, N-JOY. For this it is necessary that the stations have been tuned in at least once and that AF is active (lights up in the display). For this purpose, start automatic tuning, e.g. using Travelstore: Press BND for 1 sec.; the system starts to run through the frequency band. The display shows T-STORE. If AF does not light up, press AF. This fulfils the requirements for selecting stations with << >>.

Storing stations

On FM, you can store six stations on the preset buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for each of the memory banks I, II and T. On MW(M)/LW(L), you can also store six stations each. Select the desired memory bank. Tune in a station with the rocker switch (either automatically or manually).
Automatic tuning Up Down Down in short intervals (if AF is off) Up in short intervals (if AF is off)
Manual tuning with << >> You can also tune in a station manually. Important: AF and PTY must be switched off (i.e. the symbols do not light up in the display). If necessary, deactivate these functions: Press AF or PTY briefly.
Press and hold down the desired preset button until you hear a beep. Now the station has been stored. The activated preset button is indicated in the display. Note: Should you tune in a station which has already been stored before, then the corre-
Grana/Mala RCR127 gb 32 02.05.2002, 13:06 Uhr
sponding preset position and memory bank will briefly flash in the display.
Scanning stored stations with Preset Scan
You can have all of the stored stations briefly scanned on all wavebands. To start Preset Scan: Press SCA for approximately 1 sec. All of the stored stations to be received will be scanned one after the other. To select a scanned station and switch off Preset Scan: Press SCA briefly. Note: If TA appears, the system will scan the stored traffic stations only.
Automatically storing the strongest stations with Travelstore
You can automatically store the six most powerful FM stations of your current reception area sorted according to their signal strength. This function is particularly convenient on longer trips. Press the BND button for 1 sec. T-STORE will appear in the display. The six strongest FM stations will be automatically stored on the memory bank T (Travelstore). When this process has been completed, the radio will play the first station stored on preset 1. If desired, stations can also be stored manually on the Travelstore bank (see Storing stations).
Selecting the seek tuning sensitivity
You can alter the automatic seek tuning sensitivity. If lo is displayed, the radio will only pick up strong, local stations. If lo does not light up, the radio will also pick up weaker, distant stations. To switch the seek tuning sensitivity: Press SRC for about 1 second. The sensitivity level can be altered separately in both modes. Please refer to DSC programming - S-LO, S-DX).

If you wish to listen to a station offering the selected PTY, press / to start the seek tuning. If the system is unable to find a station offering the selected programme type, the display will show NO PTY and a beep tone will sound. The station received before starting seek tuning will be tuned in. Storing programme types At the factory, one programme type was assigned to each of the preset buttons 1-6. If desired, you can also store other available programme types. To do so, make sure that PTY lights up in the display. If necessary, press the PTY button to switch on the function.
hold down the desired preset button (1-6) until you hear a beep. Now the selected programme type can be recalled by pressing this preset. For this, the PTY function must be active.
Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON
Example: German broadcast network NDR: - Station tuned in: NDR3. PTY lights up in the display. Programme type POP selected. Seek tuning is started. No station with PTY-POP can be found. The display shows NO PTY and automatically switches back to NDR3. NDR2 airs a PTY-POP programme. The system will switch to the linked NDR2 station for the duration of the POP programme. The abbreviation EON stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network. Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals. All traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal along with their programmes, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, TP will appear in the display (Traffic Programme). In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic programmes themselves, but by using RDSEON they make it possible to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio network. If you wish to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), TA must appear on the display panel. If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement programmes is activated, TA will light up in the display. To switch the priority on or off: Press the TA button. If TA is pressed while a message is broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous condition. The priority for all other traffic messages remains active. Please note that several buttons have no function while a traffic announcement is broadcast.
During tape operation, the set will also automatically switch to the programme offering the selected PTY within the broadcast network. After the PTY programme the system will remain in the radio mode. Note: As mentioned earlier, these functions are currently only supported by a limited number of RDS stations.

Beep tone

If you leave the reception area of the traffic programme station currently tuned into, you will hear a beep tone approximately every 30 seconds. This tone will also be released if a preset button is pressed which has no traffic programme allocated to it.
Grana/Mala RCR127 gb 36 02.05.2002, 13:06 Uhr
Switching off the beep tone a) Tune into another station offering traffic information: Press the rocker switch or press a preset button which has a traffic programme station allocated to it. Alternatively: b) Switch off the priority for traffic announcements: Press TA. TA will disappear from the display.
This volume was preset at the factory, though you can alter the value using the DSC function (see DSC programming, TA VOL). If the volume level is altered while a message is played, this will only affect the current announcement.
(tape operation) When you leave the reception area of the tuned in traffic programme station while listening to a tape, the system will automatically start searching for a new TA programme. If no such station is found within approximately 30 seconds, tape operation will be stopped and a beep tone will sound. To switch off the beep tone proceed as described above.

Care notes

To avoid possible problems, we recommend you to use C-60/C-90 type cassette tapes only. Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 50 Celsius. Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. After approximately 100 hours of use, dust particles collected on the playback head or roller may lead to tape run problems and sound distortions. Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in alcohol. Do not attempt to clean by inserting a hard object into the player!
When the tape is fast forwarded or rewound (also with CPS), the radio will normally be muted. In order to listen to the radio during fast winding, you can activate the Radio Monitor function. For more information please refer to DSC programming - RM ON/OFF

Precautions

Before starting to use your new car radio, please read the following information carefully.

Installation

If you would like to install your new car stereo yourself or add other audio components to existing ones, then please read carefully the enclosed instructions on installation and connection. In order to ensure that the set operates properly it is necessary that the positive power supply line is connected to the ignition and the permanent +12 V lead. Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

Traffic safety

Traffic safety always has the highest priority. As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Never use your car radio in a way that could distract you. Please keep in mind that you travel a distance of 14 m per second at a speed of only 50 km/h. Should the traffic situation become particularly demanding, we advise you not to use the radio. Always make sure that you are still able to hear any warning signals coming from outside of the vehicle, such as police or fire engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly. Therefore, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car radio while you are driving.

Accessories

Use only the accessories and spare parts approved by Blaupunkt.

Second KeyCard

You can also operate your car radio with a second KeyCard. Refer to chapter KeyCard theft protection system for more information. You can purchase a second KeyCard at any specialised dealership.
Augs87/Es/Ver127 gb 24 15.05.2002, 11:19 Uhr
This piece of equipment is supplied with one KeyCard, though you can also operate the set with a second KeyCard. If you have lost your KeyCard or if it was damaged, you can buy a second / extra card from your specialised dealer. When using a second KeyCard, the settings stored on the first card will be adopted. However, you can individually store the following functions: Bass, treble, balance and fader settings, Loudness, TA (traffic announcement volume), beep volume, lo or dx. In addition, the settings activated before switching the radio off, such as the station tuned in, TA priority, AF, AM ON/OFF and RM ON/OFF will also remain stored. This ensures that you will find your basic settings re-adjusted automatically as soon as you have inserted your KeyCard.

AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function makes sure that the strongest frequency of the currently selected programme is always tuned in automatically. This function is activated when AF appears in the display. In order to switch this function on or off, press AF/TA for about 1 second. While searching for the strongest reception signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
Augs87/Es/Ver127 gb 27 15.05.2002, 11:19 Uhr
Notice: In the DSC menu you can deactivate the station selection on either MW or LW or for both wavebands at the same time. This has the advantage that only the required bands will allow to be activated, so that you must press the TS/BND button less often. For more information, please refer to chapter DSC programming - AM ON/AM OFF.
The Radio Data System offers you more convenience when listening to FM radio stations. More and more radio stations have begun to broadcast RDS information alongside their programmes. As soon as programmes have been identified, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the display, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional programme in Lower Saxony, Germany). When RDS is activated, the preset buttons become programme buttons. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired station quickly. But RDS offers you further advantages:
If SEARCH appears in the display when switching on the radio or recalling one of the stored frequencies, the unit is automatically searching for an alternative frequency. SEARCH will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has been run through completely. If the reception quality of the selected programme becomes too bad: Tune into another station.

Selecting a waveband

(only Verona RCR 127)
You can select between the following wavebands: FM 87.5 - 108 MHz MW 531 - 1602 kHz LW 153 - 279 kHz Press TS/BND until the desired waveband shows on the display panel.

REG - regional programme

Certain radio programmes are split up at times into regional programmes offering local information. The 1st programme broadcast by NDR, for example, offers programmes with different contents in the northern states of Germany Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times of the day. If you have tuned to a regional programme, you can select between REG ON and REG OFF: REG ON the radio keeps tuned to the current regional programme, even if the reception quality is getting poorer. REG OFF the radio automatically tunes to the regional programme offering the best reception quality (but maybe with local information for another service area).
You can select REG ON or REG OFF in the DSC menu. For more information, refer to chapter DSC programming - REG ON/ OFF.

Note: If TA shows on the display panel, the system will scan the stored traffic stations only.
The five strongest FM stations will be automatically stored on the memory bank T (Travelstore). When this process has been completed, the radio will play the first station stored on preset 1. If desired, stations can also be stored manually on the Travelstore bank (see Storing stations).
To select a scanned station and switch off Preset Scan: Press SCA/SRC for about 1 second.
You can automatically store the five most powerful FM stations of your current reception area sorted according to their signal strength. This function is particularly convenient on longer trips. Press the TS/FM or TS/BND button for 1 sec. T-STORE will appear in the display.
Scanning stored stations with Preset Scan
You can have all of the stored stations briefly scanned. To start Preset Scan: Press SCA/SRC for approximately 1 sec. until SCAN appears in the display. All of the stored stations to be received in the selected waveband will be scanned one after the other. On FM, the radio will either scan the stations stored on memory bank I and II or T.

Stereo - mono switching

The radio will only play in stereo if the stereo quality of the received station signal is sufficient. When the signal strength gets poor, the radio will gradually switch to mono. You can select between stereo or mono sound in the DSC menu. For more information, refer to chapter DSC programming STEREO/MONO. Each time the radio is switched on, stereo sound is activated automatically.
Automatically storing the strongest stations with Travelstore

Notice: Should you tune in a station which has already been stored before, then the corresponding preset position will briefly flash in the display.
Recalling stored stations
Selecting the seek tuning sensitivity You can recall any stored station at the touch
of a button. Select the memory bank with TS/FM or TS/BND. You can alter the automatic seek tuning sensitivity. If lo is displayed, the radio will only pick up strong, local stations. If lo does not light up, the radio will also pick up weaker, distant stations. Should you wish to alter the seek tuning sensitivity, refer to chapter DSC programming LO/DX.
Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON

Loudness

Adjusts the low bass frequencies for a more natural sound. Switching Loudness on/off: Press the AUD button for approximately 1 sec. When the Loudness function is active, LD will light up in the display. See chapter DSC programming for more information. EON stands for Enhanced Other Networks, meaning the exchange of information within a radio network. Many FM broadcasters offer traffic messages for their service area at regular intervals. All traffic programme stations transmit a special carrier signal alongside their programmes, which is decoded by your car radio. If this signal is identified, TP will appear in the display (Traffic Programme). In addition to these, there are also stations which do not actually transmit traffic programmes themselves, but by using RDSEON they offer the possibility to receive the traffic messages broadcast by another traffic programme station in the same radio network. If you wish to have the priority for traffic announcements activated while listening to one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), TA must appear on the display panel. If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch to the linked traffic programme station (in this case, NDR2) for the duration of the message and return to the original programme (NDR3) afterwards.

Traffic announcement priority on/off
If the priority for traffic announcement programmes is activated, TA will light up in the display. To switch the priority on or off: Press the AF/TA button. When pressing AF/TA while a message is being broadcast, this message will be interrupted. The unit will then switch back to the previous condition. The priority for all other traffic messages remains active. Please note that several buttons have no function while a traffic announcement is broadcast.

Care notes

To avoid possible problems, we recommend you to use C-60/C-90 type cassette tapes only. Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 50 Celsius. Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. After approximately 100 hours of use, dust particles collected on the playback head or roller may lead to tape run problems and sound distortions. Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in alcohol. Do not attempt to clean by inserting a hard object into the player!
