functions may be available.
•RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak,
or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting
RDS data.
AF (Alternative Frequencies)
Selects and retunes the station with the
strongest signal in a network. By using this
function, you can continuously listen to the
same program during a long-distance drive
without having to retune the same station
manually.
TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic
Program)
Provides current traffic information/programs.
Any information/program received, will
interrupt the currently selected source.
PTY (Program Types)
Displays the currently received program type.

Tip
If you adjust the volume level during a traffic
announcement, that level will be stored into memory
for subsequent traffic announcements, independently
from the regular volume level.
Staying with one regional program

Bluetooth (Handsfree calling
and Music streaming)
Bluetooth operations
To use the Bluetooth function, the following
procedure is necessary.
1Pairing
When connecting Bluetooth devices for the
first time, mutual registration is required. This
is called “pairing.” This registration (pairing)
is required only for the first time, as this unit
and the other devices will recognize each
other automatically from the next time. You
can pair up to 8 devices. (Depending on the
device, you may need to input a passkey for
each connection.)
2Connection
To use the device after pairing is made, start
the connection. Sometimes pairing allows to
connect automatically.
3Handsfree calling/Music streaming
You can talk handsfree and listen to music
when the connection is made.
Pairing
First, register (“pair”) a Bluetooth device
(cellular phone, etc.) and this unit with each
other. You can pair up to 8 devices. Once pairing
is established, there is no need for pairing again.
1Place the Bluetooth device within 1 m
(3 ft) of this unit.
2Press and hold (BT) until “ ” flashes
(about 5 seconds).
The unit enters pairing standby mode.
3Set the Bluetooth device to search for
this unit.
A list of detected devices appears in the
display of the device to be connected. This
unit is displayed as “XPLOD” on the device
to be connected.
4If Passkey*input is required on the
display of the device to be connected,
input “0000.”
This unit and the Bluetooth device memorize
each other’s information, and when pairing is
made, the unit is ready for connection to the
device.
“ ” flashes and then stays lit after pairing is
complete.
5Set the Bluetooth device to connect to
this unit.
“ ” or “ ” appears when the connection is
made.
*Passkey may be called “passcode,” “PIN code,” “PIN
number” or “Password,” etc., depending on the
device.
Note
Pairing standby mode is not released until the
connection is made.
