Important information

What you need to know!

Before starting to use your new car radio you should carefully read through the information on “Traffic safety” and “Anti-theft coding”.

Traffic safety

Traffic safety has always priority. Use your car radio in such a manner that you are always able to cope with and react to the prevailing traffic situation at any given time.

Remember, even at 50 km/h you are still moving at a speed of 14 m per seconds.

It is also very important that you are able to hear, and react to, acoustic warning signals around you, for example from the police or the firebrigade.

Therefore, adjust the volume reasonably.

Installation/connection

The code system can only be switched on and off, if the radio is connected to permanent power.

If you like to install your new car radio by yourself or add other audio components to the existing ones, then please read carefully the enclosed instructions on installation and connection.

Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to ground!

Only use the accessory and replacement parts approved by Blaupunkt.

22

Kingston DJ Inl.

Anti-theft coding

The car radio comes standard with the code system deactivated.

If the anti-theft coding system is on while the power supply to the unit is interrupted (e.g.

theft, disconnecting the car battery), the set is electronically blocked. Then it may only be used again after the appropriate code number has been entered (see car radio passport).

The radio will operate again as soon as you have entered the right code number.

If you lose your radio passport and have forgotten your code number, you will not be able to restart the set after the power supply has been interrupted. In this case, your radio can only be reset in our central customer service workshop or in one of our service agencies abroad.

Wrong code number entered

It should not be possible for thieves to ascertain the code number by trial-and-error. This is why the set will be blocked for a certain period of time, if an incorrect code number is entered. In this case, “- - - -” will appear in the display.

This waiting time is 10 seconds after the first three attempts, and 1 hour following subsequent attempts.

After 19 unsuccessful attempts, “OFF” will appear in the display and the set can no longer be restarted.

Note:

Keep you car radio passport with the code number in a safe place in order to avoid

“unauthorized access” to your car radio.

If the power supply to the radio is interrupted while the code system is switched on, you need to know the right code number.

Switching the code system on

Precondition:

The radio must be connected to permanent power.

In order to switch the code system on:

• Turn the radio off.

• Hold down the preset buttons 1 and 4 simultaneously.

• Turn the radio on.

“CODE” briefly appears before the radio begins to operate.

• Release preset buttons 1 and 4.

The code system is on.

“CODE” will be briefly displayed each time the radio is turned on.

Restart following interruption of power supply

(Code system switched on)

• Switch on the set.

“CODE” will appear in the display.

• Briefly press preset button 1, “0000” will appear in the display.

• Enter the code number given in the

Blaupunkt car radio passport:

Example: the code number is 2521.

- Press preset button 1 twice, “2000” appears in the display.

- Press preset button 2 five times,

“2500” appears in the display.

- Press preset button 3 twice, “2520” appears in the display.

- Press preset button 4 once, “2521” appears in the display.

• To confirm the code number:

Press the upper part of the rocker switch .

Your car radio is now ready for operation.

If four dashes appear again in the display, you have entered a wrong code number.

Now it is essential to enter the correct code after the waiting period has elapsed (CODE in the display).

23

Kingston DJ Inl.

Radio operation with RDS

If the radio is turned off before the waiting period has elapsed, then the waiting period restarts as soon as the radio is turned on again.

Switching the code system off

• Turn off the radio.

• Simultaneously press preset buttons 1 and 4 and hold them down.

• Turn the set on.

“CODE” will appear in the display.

• Enter the code number given in the

Blaupunkt car radio passport and confirm: See example “Restart following interruption …”.

The code system is now deactivated.

An ever increasing number of FM radio stations broadcast additional information parallel to their normal program via the Radio Data

System to make reception even more convenient.

As soon as radio programs can be identified, the station name and possibly the regional identifier are in the display, e.g. “NDR1 NDS”

(local radio program in Lower Saxony, Germany).

With RDS, the preset buttons turn into program buttons. Now you know exactly to which program your set is tuned in, making it absolutely easy to find the desired station quickly.

RDS even offers you further advantages:

Optical indication of theft protection

When the car is stationary, an optical security system in the form of a flashing LED can be activated to visualize that your radio is codeprotected.

Depending on how you have hooked up your radio, three different LED modes are available, which can be programmed with the

DSC function.

See “DSC programming” for more details.

AF - Alternative Frequency

The AF function assures that the strongest frequency of the selected program is tuned in automatically.

This function is on, if the display shows “AF”.

To switch AF on/off,

• press AF briefly.

During seek tuning to the strongest frequency, the radio operation is muted for a moment. If “SEARCH” appears in the display when turning the set on or when calling up a stored frequency, the set is automatically searching for an alternative frequency.

“SEARCH” goes out as soon as the system has found an alternative frequency or after the frequency band has been scanned completely.

Should the reception quality of the selected program become too bad,

• tune into another program.

REG - Regional

The AF function can also be used to activate and deactivate the regional function. At some time of the day, larger radio stations split up their main program into regional program versions offering local information.

If you want the radio to lock onto a regional program,

• hold down the AF button for about 2 seconds.

The display will show “REG ON”.

If you leave the service area of the regional program or if you wish to use the entire RDS service, switch to “REG OFF”.

• Hold down the AF button for about 2 seconds until “REG OFF” is displayed.

If “REG ON” is activated, the display will show “REG ON” each time the radio is switched on.

Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON

Many FM broadcasters provide their service area with traffic messages at regular intervals.

All traffic program stations transmit a special signal parallel to the radio program. Your car radio is able to identify such traffic program station by this TP signal. The display will indicate “TP” to confirm that a traffic program station is tuned in.

Other radio stations do not air traffic announcements by themselves, but offer the possibility to receive the traffic announcements of another radio station within the same radio network. During reception of such a station

(e.g. NDR3) “TP” lights on the display as soon as the priority of traffic announcements is activated. Then the display has to light

“TA”.

If a traffic announcement is aired, your radio will switch to the traffic program station for the duration of the message and will switch back to the previous station after the end of the message.

If you press TA when a traffic announcement is played, the radio stops playing the message and switches to the previous mode. The priority of later traffic announcements remains on.

Warning beep

Whenever you leave the reception area of the traffic program station you are tuned to, you will hear a warning beep after approximately 30 seconds.

This warning beep will also be released, if you press a preset button on which a station without traffic program is stored.

Switching the warning beep off a) Tune to another traffic program station:

• Press the rocker switch or

• press a preset button to recall a traffic program station.

or b) Switch the traffic message priority off:

• Press TA.

“TA” goes out in the display.

Priority of traffic announcements

ON/OFF

“TA” lights up in the display, if the priority of traffic announcements is on. To switch the function on and off,

• press the TA button.

Automatic seek tuning start

(During cassette operation)

If you leave the reception area of your traffic program station while you are playing a cassette, the car radio will automatically tune into another traffic program station.

If no traffic program station is found within approximately 30 seconds, the tape will be stopped and you will hear a warning beep.

To switch the warning beep off, proceed as detailed above.

Adjusting the volume for traffic messages and warning beep

A default value is set ex factory for the volume of traffic announcements and the warning beep. You can change this default setting with the DSC function (see “DSC programming, ARI (TA)”).

Care of your audio equipment

We recommend that you use only C-60/C-90 cassette tapes in your car radio. Protect your cassettes from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 50

°

C. During cold weather, allow cold cassettes to warm up somewhat before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. Operating problems and sound distortions may occur after approximately

100 hours of playing time and are caused by dust particles which adhere to the rubber roller and the audio head.

Use a cleaner cassette to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-tip) soaked with alcohol. Never use any hard tools to clean your unit!

This car radio offers direct software control

(DSC) to adjust a number of default settings to your personal needs and store them.
