Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
After 19 unsuccessful attempts, the display
willshow“SERVICE”.Inthiscaseyoucanno
longer re-start the unit.
Notice:
Keep your car radio passport with the code
number in a safe place in order to avoid
“unauthorised access” to your car radio.
When the security code system is activated,
the unique code must be entered each time
the power to the unit was interrupted.
The radio will function again as soon as you
have entered the correct code.
If you have lost your radio passport and
forgotten the code number, your radio can
only be made operable again by one of our
authorised service workshops (subject to
payment).
Optical indication for extra
security
When the car is stationary you may let an
LED flash for extra security to indicate that
your unit is equipped with security coding.
This feature can be turned on and off using
DSC.
Read “DSC programming - CODE-LED”.
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 program-
mes with different contents in the northern
statesofGermanySchleswig-Holstein,Ham-
burg and Lower Saxony at certain times of
the day. If you are listening to one program-
me and move to an area where another
linked regional programme becomes stron-
ger, the unit will switch to that programme.
If you wish to continue listening to the first
station,
•press the AF button for approximately
2 seconds.
“REG ON” appears in the display.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme tuned into, or if you would like to
takeadvantageofthefullRDSservice,switch
to “REG OFF”.
•Press the AF button for approximately
2 seconds until “REG OFF” appears.
“REG ON” or “REG OFF” will be briefly dis-
played each time the radio is switched on.
The Radio Data System offers you more
convenience when listening to FM radio sta-
tions.
More and more radio stations have begun to
broadcast RDS information alongside their
programmes.
Assoonasaprogrammehasbeenidentified,
the station name including a regional identi-
fier, if applicable, will appear in the display,
for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program-
me in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the station buttons
