GENERAL FUNCTIONS

On / off

With the ignition key in the ACCESSORIES or IGNITION position, press the "ON/VOL" button to switch the set
on or off.

ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

The first time you use the set following disconnection of the set or the battery, you must enter the confidential code
which was given to you on handover of your vehicle.

Entering the code

Switch the set on.
The display shows "CODE" then the set changes over to code request mode and "- - - -" is displayed.
Enter your four-digit code number using buttons "1" to "6".
For example: if your code is 5345 press buttons "5", "3", "4" and "5" in turn.
When the fourth number has been entered correctly, the radio starts automatically.

Error in entering the code

If an error is made when entering one of the first three digits, do not continue the operation and switch off the radio
to prevent blocking it.
Each incorrect code entry will result in the set being blocked for a period of from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, after
the 7th incorrect entry.
To unblock the set, leave it switched on during the waiting period. When "- - - -" is displayed, you can enter the
code again.
If the set is switched off during the waiting period, this waiting period will restart when the set is switched on again.
After incorrectly inputting the code 14 times, the radio will be permanently locked and the display will read "END".

ADJUSTING THE SOUND

to “mute” when the telephone is used.

RADIO

Notes on radio reception

Your car radio receiver is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic sets. Both MW/LW and FM recep-
tion are subject to various forms of interference which are not a reflection on the quality of your set, but are due
to the nature of the signals and the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing underneath high voltage power lines or bridges or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of distance from the transmitter, reflection of the signal by obstacles
(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter.

Selecting the radio

Press the "SRC" button, until the radio is selected.

Selecting a waveband

By short presses on the "BND/AST" button, you can select the FMI, FM2, FM3, and AM wavebands.

Automatic station search

Briefly press button "J" or "K" to search for the next station up or down the waveband. By continuing to press the
button in the direction selected, you will obtain continous scrolling of the frequency.
The scrolling stops at the first station found as soon as you release the button.
If the TA traffic programme is selected, only stations broadcasting this type of programme are selected.
Searching for a station occurs first in "LO" sensitivity (selection of the most powerful transmitters), while scanning
the waveband, then in "DX" sensitivity (selection of weaker and more distant transmitters).
