THEFT PROTECTION

KeyCard theft protection
A KeyCard is included with your car radio. The radio can also be operated with a second KeyCard. If one KeyCard becomes lost or damaged you can obtain a replacement through your Blaupunkt dealer. If you use two KeyCards, the settings of the first KeyCard are adopted by the first KeyCard. You can, however, store the following functions separately: station button allocation, bass, treble, balance and fader settings, loudness, traffic announcement volume, beep volume and equalizer adjustment. In addition to this, the last values selected for the waveband, station setting, traffic announcements, RDS, REG, scan time, search sensitivity, initial volume and SHARX are stored. This means that the basic settings you have selected are made as soon as the KeyCard is inserted.
Push the KeyCard with the carriage in
the direction of the arrow (2) carefully as far as the stop.
Close the control unit (arrow 3).
Note: If the wrong kind of card, such as a cashpoint card, is inserted into the device, Wrong KC will appear on the display. Remove the incorrect card, and insert a KeyCard that is known to the device.

RADIO OPERATION

Radio Operation
This device is equipped with an RDS radio receiver. Many of the FM stations that can be received transmit a signal in addition to the program itself that contains information such as the name of the station and the type of program (PTY). As soon as it can be received, the name of the station is shown in the display. If desired, the program type can be displayed. You may read more about this in the section on Program Type (PTY).

Switching between stereo and mono
When radio reception is poor you can switch the mode to mono. The changeover from stereo to mono is executed smoothly. The radio plays in stereo after being switched on. The selection of stereo or mono is made via the menu.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION

You car radio is equipped with an RDS-EON receiver. EON (Enhanced Other Network) stands for the broadcasting of station information within a broadcasting network. If a traffic announcement (TA) is made, your radio will tune automatically from a non-traffic-information station to a traffic-information station with the broadcasting network. The radio then reverts to the programme previously heard once the traffic announcement is over.

Instead of the CD-changer, you can connect an external audio source with line output. Such sources might be a portable CD player, a MiniDisc player or an MP3 player. The AUX input must be switched on in the menu. You need an adapter cable to connect an external audio source. You can obtain such a cable from your Blaupunkt dealer.
TMC for dynamic navigation systems
TMC means Traffic Message Channel. TMC is used to transmit traffic announcements digitally, and can therefore be used for route planning by suitable navigation systems. Your car radio has a TMC output that can be connected to Blaupunkt navigation systems. Your Blaupunkt dealer can tell you which navigation systems can be used with your car radio.

GENERAL

Thank you for deciding to use a Blaupunkt product. We hope you enjoy using this new piece of equipment. Please read these operating instructions before using the equipment for the first time. The Blaupunkt editors are constantly working on making the operating instructions clearer and easier to understand. However, if you still have any questions on how to operate the equipment, please contact your dealer or the telephone hotline for your country. You will find the hotline telephone numbers printed at the back of this booklet. We provide a manufacturer guarantee for our products bought within the European Union. You can view the guarantee conditions at www.blaupunkt.de or ask for them directly at: Blaupunkt GmbH Hotline CM/PSS 6 Robert Bosch Str. 200 D-31139 Hildesheim Germany The COMPACT DRIVE MP3 is an MP3 player that plays MP3 music files stored on the Microdrive (hard disk). CF cards (storage media) are not recognized by the COMPACT DRIVE MP3. MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD audio data. Compression allows data to be reduced to around 15% of their original size without a noticeable loss in quality (at a bit rate of 192 Kbit/ s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert CD audio data to MP3, you can create smaller files but there will be a loss of quality. You can store MP3 files on the Microdrive (hard disk) using the supplied SCM (write-/ read device). For further details, please read the chapter entitled Write-/ read device. You can connect the COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player to many Blaupunkt car radios. For further details, please read the chapter entitled Compatibility with Blaupunkt car radios.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatibility with Blaupunkt car radios
Our engineers have made it possible to connect the COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player to the following car radios: q Skyline 2 and future Skyline devices Dallas MD 70, Denver CD 70, Frankfurt C 70, Hamburg CD 70, London CD 70, Madrid C 70, New Orleans CD 70, Orlando MD 70, San Francisco CD 70 q Funline 3 devices (only with CDNaming) and future Funline devices Acapulco CD 51, Casablanca CD 51, Heidelberg CD 51, Palm Beach C 51, Verona C 51 q Navigation devices

Compatibility

Carefully hold and pull the hard
disk between your thumb and index finger out of the protective transportation cover.
Insert the hard drive (with its contact edge foremost) into the write-/ read device. Click it into place with a light press. The hard disk is visible, and data can now be written onto it.
Storing MP3 files in a directory on your hard disk
You can create up to 99 directories. Each of these directories can contain up to 99 music tracks. The maximum number of characters for directory names and track names is 90. Note: MP3 files that are stored in subdirectories and not in directories are not recognized by Compact Drive MP3.

Update DX-R70 / RNS149/150
For the navigation devices DX-R70, RNS 149 and RNS 150, you will need to carry out the following update: Note: The read/write device is installed and the Microdrive is visible as an additional drive (removable disk) in Explorer. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If the CD-ROM does not start automatically, open the Windows My Computer icon and then open the CDROM drive. Run the Start.html file by double clicking on it. 15
Converting audio files into MP3 files Run the MP3 Software on the
CD-ROM and follow the programs instructions. Tip: You can also use any other standard conversion program.
Now select the language and then
select Updates. The following characters are either incorrectly displayed or not displayed at all. q Funline 3 series: ;:!%&=?#@ q Skyline 2 series: $~^
Please follow the displayed
steps. After copying has completed (approx. 15 seconds), you can remove the Microdrive from the read/write device. Now all you need do is carry out the following three steps on the DX-R70: 1. The DX-R70 and Compact Drive MP 3 must be switched off! 2. Insert the Microdrive. Switch on the DX-R70 and wait for the device to start playing. 3. Switch off the DX-R70. When you switch on the device again, it will be ready to operate. You can now change MP3 directories using the display buttons on the right that are located next to the new up / down display text. The up/down rocker switch is used to change tracks. Note: You should delete the Dxr70.fkp or RNS 149/150.fkp file from the Microdrive. If you delete these files, you will be able to restore the Compact Drive MP3 to its original delivery condition by carrying out the update again using the CLEAR.FKP file. Note: Some devices cannot display the whole character set.
