Precautions  
Loudness - When listening at a low  
level, the Loudness function creates a  
more natural sound by boosting  
the low frequency range.  
Loudness on/off: Press AUD for ap-  
proximately 1 sec.  
“LD” lights up in the display if the

If you would like to install your new car ster-  
eo 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 prop-  
erly it is necessary that the positive power  
supply line is connected to the ignition and  
the permanent +12 V lead.  
Before starting to use your new car radio,  
please read the following information care-  
fully.  
Traffic safety  
Traffic safety always has the highest priori-  
ty.  
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 dis-  
tance of 14 m per second at a speed of only  
50 km/h.  
Should the traffic situation become particu-  
larly demanding, we advise you not to use  
the radio.  
Always make sure that you are still able to  
hear any warning signals coming from out-  
side of the vehicle, such as police or fire  
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-  
ingly.  
Therefore, you should always select a mod-  
erate volume for playing your car radio while  
you are driving.  
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!  
Accessories  
= DSC (Direct Software Control)  
Use the DSC function to customise  
certain programmable, basic settings  
to suit your personal needs and prefer-  
ences. See chapter “DSC program-  
ming” for more information.  
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

cles. Avoid direct skin contact.  
If necessary, clean the KeyCard contacts  
using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

REG - regional programme  
Certain radio programmes are split up at  
times into regional programmes offering lo-  
cal information. The 1st programme broad-  
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-  
grammes with different contents in the north-  
ern 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 cur-  
rent regional programme, even if the recep-  
tion quality is getting poorer.  
But RDS offers you further advantages:  
AF - Alternative frequency

makes sure that the strongest frequency of  
the currently selected programme is always  
tuned in automatically.  
This function is activated when “AF” appears

formation for another service area).  
While searching for the strongest reception  
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.

Manual tuning with << >>  
For this purpose, start automatic tuning, e.g.  
using Travelstore:  
Press and hold down the desired pre-  
set button until the radio resumes play  
after the muting (takes approximately 1  
sec., confirmed by beep).  
You can also tune in a station manually.  
Press TS/FM for 1 sec.; the system  
starts to run through the frequency  
band. The display shows “T-STORE”.

networks can be received, you can scroll  
through them in forwards direction pressing

NDR 1, 2, 3, 4, N-JOY, FFN, ANTENNE ...  
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).  
Press the TS/FM button for 1 sec.  
On FM, you can store five stations on the  
preset buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for each of the  
memory banks I, II and T.  
“T-STORE” will appear in the display.  
The five strongest FM stations will be auto-

ing playback, the set may reverse the direc-  
tion by itself before having reached the end  
of the tape side. In this case check the con-  
dition of the cassette tape. Sometimes it  
helps to rewind it completely.  
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 nor-  
mal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a  
cotton swab (Q-Tip) dipped in alcohol. Do  
not attempt to clean by inserting a hard ob-  
ject into the player!  
Listening to the radio during fast  
tape winding with RM (Radio

During fast winding of the tape, i.e. when  
the radio is normally muted, you can use  
the RM function to listen to the radio.
