Description of functions
Introduction
Before initial use
Checklist
Before initial use, you should carry out the following steps to operate the device safely and be able to use the complete
scope of the provided functions:
Observe basic safety notes ⇒Page 3.
Become familiar with the overview of control elements⇒Page 5.
Reset the device system and function settings to the ex-works state⇒Page 31.
Only use appropriate data carriers for media mode
⇒Page 14.
Safety notes
WARNING
If the driver is distracted, this can cause
accidents and injuries. Operating the radio
system, a cellphone or phoning can distract
from traffic conditions.
●Always drive attentively and
responsibly.
●Only connect, insert or withdraw data
carriers in a standing vehicle at a safe
distance from traffic.
●Select loudspeaker levels so that acoustic
signals from outside can be heard well at any
time, e. g., the siren of rescue services.
Comply with legal regulations.
●A too-high volume can damage hearing.
This also applies in the case of high
volumes of brief duration.
WARNING
At operation of a cellphone or radio device
without connection to an external antenna,
the limiting value for electromagnetic
radiation can be exceeded in the vehicle and
consequently endanger the health of driver
and passengers. This also applies if an
exterior antenna is not installed properly.
WARNING (continuation)
●Keep a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between antenna of a cellphone
and an active medical implant, e.g., a cardiac
pacemaker, because cellphones can
negatively influence the function of active
medical implants.
●Do not keep a cellphone directly adjacent
to an active medical implant or directly above
it, e.g., in your chest pocket.
●If you suspect that a cellphone is interring
with an active medical implant or other
medical device, switch it off immediately.
WARNING
Unattached or incorrectly secured external
devices, e. g., cellphones, can be thrown
about the vehicle interior at a sudden
braking maneuver or accident and cause
injuries. Never arrange or attach external
devices on the doors, the front windshield,
above or near the area marked "AIRBAG"
on the steering wheel, the dashboard, seat
backs or between these areas and
passengers. External devices can result in
severe injuries in the case of accidents,
especially when the airbags open.
Introduction 3
WARNING
Connection lines of external devices can
hinder the driver.
●Lay connection lines, so that the driver is
not hindered.
WARNING
A too-high volume can damage hearing.
This also applies in the case of high
volumes of brief duration.
WARNING
Sudden loudness changes can occur at
change or connection of an audio source.
●Reduce the volume level before you
change or connect an audio source.
WARNING
An armrest can hinder the freedom of
movement of a driver and consequently
cause accidents and severe injuries.
●Always keep armrests closed during
rides.
WARNING
When the housing of a CD player is opened,
injuries can be caused due to invisible laser
beams.
●Only have CD players repaired by a
specialist company.
NOTE
In areas of no or deficient cellphone network
supply and possibly in tunnels, garages and
undergrounds passageways, a phone call
might be interrupted and it might be impossible
to reestablish connection – including any
emergency calls!
NOTE
●A cellphone must always be switched off
in environments with special regulations and
if the use of cellphones is prohibited.
NOTE (continuation)
NOTE (continuation)
The radiation emitted from a switched-
oncellphone can interfere with sensitive
technical and medical devices, which can
result in malfunction or damage to the device.
●High speeds, poor weather and road
conditions as well as network quality can
hinder or interrupt a phone call in a vehicle.
NOTE
Incorrect insertion of a data carrier or an
unsuitable data carrier can damage the
device.
●Pay attention to the correct insertion
position ⇒Page 14.
●Strong pressing can destroy the lock in
the SD card slot.
●Only use suitable SD cards.
●Always insert or withdraw CDs edgewise at
a right angle to the device front without
bending them and consequently scratching
them. ⇒Page 14.
●Inserting a second CD when there is
already one inserted or is being ejected can
destroy the CD drive. Always wait until the
data carrier has been ejected completely!
NOTE
Foreign particles sticking to a data carrier and
data carriers that are not round can damage the
CD drive.
●Only use clean 12 cm standard CDs!
–Do not glue any stickers or similar
things onto a data carrier. Stickers can
detach from and damage the drive.
–Do not use any imprinted data carriers.
Layers and imprints can detach and
damage the CD drive.
–Do not insert any 8 cm single CDs or
non-circular CDs (shape CDs).
–Do not insert any DVD plus, dual disc or
flip disc, because these are thicker than
normal CDs.
NOTE
The vehicle loudspeakers can be damaged by too
loud or distorted playback.

Restrictions and notes
Soiling, high temperatures and mechanical
damages can make a data carrier unusable.
Pay attention to the notes of the data carrier
manufacturer.
Quality differences between data carriers from
different manufacturers can result in malfunctions
during playback.
Observe legal regulations concerning copyrights!
Ds are not played when they are recorded in
DirectCD format. Pay attention to the format
under Windows®.
The configuration of a data carrier or devices and
programs used for recording can result in the
impossibility to read individual songs or the data
carrier.
You can find information about how audio files
and data carriers are best created (compressions
rate, ID3 tag, etc.) in the Internet, for example.
Reading a data carrier with compressed audio
files (MP3, WMA, etc.) takes longer due to the
larger data volume than the reading of a "normal"
audio CD. Complex folder trees can delay reading
additionally.

Bluetooth®
First read and observe the safety
notes on page 3 and
the introductory information and safety notes
on page 23.
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth® technology serves for connecting a
cellphone to the phone control of a vehicle. A one-
time coupling process is required to use phone
control with a Bluetooth® cellphone.
Some Bluetooth® cellphones are detected and
connected automatically when they are switched
on if there was already a connection previously. In
this context, the cellphone as well as Bluetooth®
on the cellphone must be switched on and all
active Bluetooth® connections to other devices
must be disconnected.
The Bluetooth® radio link is free of charge.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of
Bluetooth® SIG, Inc.
Bluetooth profile
When a cellphone is connected with phone control,
data exchange is via one of the Bluetooth® profiles.
●Bluetooth® Hands-Free Profile (HFP): If a
cellphone connection via HFP with phone control,
you can phone cordlessly via the hand-free
installation. Many other functions of phone control
are not available. The external antenna of the
vehicle cannot be used with it. Observe the
instructions about using a cellphone in a vehicle
without connection to an external antenna
● ⇒Manual Operating instructions.
●Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP):
Bluetooth® profile for transmission of audio signals in
stereo quality.
Couple and connect cellphone with radio
First read and observe the safety notes
on page 3 and the the introductory
information and safety notes on page 23.
To operate a cellphone via the radio, one-time
coupling of both devices is required.
Coupling should only be performed in standing
vehicles.
Requirements
●Ignition is switched on.
●If required, disconnect a connected
headset from the cellphone.
●Bluetooth® function must be activated and
visible on the cellphone and radio.
●The key lock on the cellphone should be
unlocked.
