CODING _______________________________________________
Waiting times
In order to prevent unauthorised persons from switching on the
radio and deactivating the coding by trial and error, waiting times
are set between attempted code entries. During these times the
device can be switched on and off, but it will not work.
The device does not need to be switched on during the waiting time,
but it does need to be connected to the permanent + 12 V supply.
SAFE in the display means that the waiting time has not yet
elapsed. When the waiting time has elapsed the number of the next
attempt appears in the display, for example 2 - - - -. The
following table shows the waiting times after each attempt:
1. ............................................................21 sec.
2 ...........................................................1.5 min.
3 ...........................................................5.5 min.
4 ............................................................22 min.
5 ............................................................1.5 hrs.
6 ............................................................6.0 hrs.
7 .............................................................24 hrs.
8 .............................................................24 hrs.
Note:
The waiting time is 24 hours for each subsequent attempt. After
the sixth incorrect we recommend that you have your specialist
dealer enter the code.

FITTING AND REMOVING _________________

Fitting the mounting frame and the device,
connecting the antenna
Ask your dealer for information on fitting equipment and other
accessories.
1 Fit the mounting frame b in the radio recess a of the vehicle
(Fig. 1) (The illustrations are on page 31).
2 Bend the catch flaps c behind the radio recess a inwards or outwards as necessary depending on the type of vehicle (Fig. 1).
3 Push the device into the fitted mounting frame b as far as it will
go. The device latches in.
Note:
The device is very powerful, which means that it heats up
considerably during operation. You must therefore make sure
that no cables or other parts touch the device. If the insulation
melts it could cause a short circuit or even a fire!
4 To pull out the device insert the two removal hooks d into the
opening in the front panel and push them in as far as they will
go (Fig. 5).
5 Push both hooks outwards and slowly pull out the device
(Fig. 5).
The device is designed for antennas with 75 to 150
impedance. Extended antenna cables, for example for rear
mounting, can impair reception. If necessary use an antenna
adapter (Fig. 2).
1 Fix the antenna adapter or cable in the plastic holder (Figs. 2
and 3).

Fuse

ENGLISH

A 10 A/DIN 72 581 flat fuse is inserted in the device (Fig. 4).

FITTING AND REMOVING THE DEVICE ___________

Power supply
Flat pin connectors A (Fig. 4, page 31):
A8

Ground connection (minimum cross-section 2.5 mm2 for

positive and ground connection). Connect to terminal 31
(Ground) of the vehicle.

A7

+12 V operating voltage connection (minimum cross-section

2.5 mm2 for positive and ground connection). Connect to
terminal 30 (continuous positive) of the vehicle.

A6

Connection for instrument lighting. Is connected to A 6

terminal 58 of the vehicle to enable the device illumination
to be controlled together the instrument lights of the vehicle.

A5

+12 V switching voltage output (max. 0.5 A). When the

device is on, the switching voltage is on flat pin contact A 5
and serves to extend and retract the antenna, provides an
operating voltage for the antenna amplifier, etc.

A4

Connection for +12 V ignition voltage. Connect to

terminal 15 of the vehicle if you want the device to switch on
and off with the ignition.

Note:
You do not have to connect A 4. In this case the radio must
always be switched on and off using the IO button, and switches off automatically one hour after the ignition is switched off.
A2

Phone Mute connection. If you are using a connected car

phone, the device is muted and PHONE appears in the
display. See also page 24 in the EXPERT level section.

Note:
A 2 must be grounded from the Mute output of the car
phone/radio phone.

INFORMATION_____________________________________
Radio reception conditions
Reception conditions in the VHF range change all the time during a
journey. Mountains, buildings or bridges can impair reception. This
is especially true when the station is very distant.

Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS is an information system for which most VHF stations transmit
additional signals. With RDS stations, the name of the station
appears as an abbreviation in the display, for example
ANTENNE. RDS stations are broadcast by several transmitters at
different frequencies (alternative frequencies). If an RDS station is
selected the device automatically switches to the alternative
frequency with the best reception, provided one is available.

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

The EON function allows you to hear traffic news, even when you
are listening to another RDS station which does not broadcast its
own traffic news. However, this only works if the RDS broadcaster
you are listening to also provides another RDS station with traffic
news. Standby mode for radio traffic news (TP) must also be
activated.

Cleaning
Only use a soft, anti-static duster to clean the front panel of the
device. Polish and cleaning agents can damage the surface of the
panel.

ENGLISH

The magnetic head of the tape unit must be kept free of tape
particles in order to maintain high-quality playback. You should
therefore clean the magnetic head every 50 to 100 service hours
with a tape cleaning cassette.

35

INFORMATION _______________________________________
Troubleshooting
If a fault occurs, first refer to this information before you take the
device for repair.
If you are unable to rectify the fault using the information given
