Deviations from these
instructions
These operating instructions de-
scribe a two-way radio system
with one digital and one analog
two-way radio device. Differ-
ences between these instruc-
tions and the system may be
encountered if only one two-
way radio is connected or if the
connected devices do not sup-
port functions described here.
Differences are also possible if
changes to the on-board com-
puter are made via the adminis-
tration software.
The R 1200 RT was used by
way of example for generation of
the graphics. The layout of the
components described may differ
for other BMW Motorrad models,
but the functions are identical.

ON for longer than absolutely
necessary.
NOTICE
