Effects of radio frequency energy
Your Radiophone is both a transmitter and
a receiver. It generates minimum amounts
of energy in the radio frequency range. While
it is in use, the GSM system keeps a con-
stant check on both the frequency and the
power.
Warnings that using mobile telephones may
be hazardous to your health have recently
been a topic of public discussion. For years
now, research on the effects of radio fre-
quency energy emitted by FM technology
has concentrated on possible adverse ef-
fects to your health. Scientists have also
begun researching the latest radio technol-
ogies such as GSM. According to the re-
search results and by complying with the
corresponding safety standards, it is safe to
say that this product can be used without
reservations.
When the Radiophone is installed properly
in your vehicle, using it is even safer than
using a portable cellular phone.
If you should still be concerned about the
effects of radio frequency energy, there is a
lot you can do personally to ensure that you
are exposed to a minimum of these radio
waves. Of course, it will help to reduce your
call time to a minimum but it is especially
important to heed the following tips on us-
ing this equipment.
Important information
Safety standards
The mobile telephone has been manufac-
tured in accordance with all of the applica-
ble RF safety standards and recommenda-
tions determined by the government offices
and organisations responsible (e.g. the VDE
standard DIN-0848).
General information
The telephone function of your Radiophone
is based on the GSM radio telephone stand-
ard. This standard was developed for use
in Europe and many other countries.
Using the mobile Radiophone, you can
make the same telephone calls as you can
with a cellular phone.
This assumes that the GSM radio network
is available at your location and that you
have access privileges and a valid SIM card.
This SIM card must be inserted into the unit
(if necessary, refer to the information in the
section on “KeyCard and SIM card”).
Safety information
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 your vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-
ingly.
Consequently, you should always select a
moderate volume for playing your car radio
while you are driving.
Using the telephone while driving
Please observe all laws and regulations re-
garding the use to mobile telephones in
motor vehicles.
Concentrate fully on your driving.
Stop at a safe place before using the
telephone.
68
Reactivate the telephone:
Press
briefly.
Emergency calls
As with every other mobile telephone, the
Radiophone operates using a combination
of mobile radio and cross-country networks,
radio signals and functions programmed by
the user. As a result, there is no guarantee
that your call will always go through. Never
depend exclusively on a mobile telephone
or similar equipment under life-threatening
circumstances (e.g. in medical emergen-
cies).
The telephone interface of the Radiophone
is only able to make and receive calls when
it is activated and located in an area served
by the radio network and when the signal is
strong enough.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all
mobile telephone networks or only if certain
network services and/or certain performance
features are active. Contact the local net-
work operators for more detailed informa-
tion.
Under certain circumstances, some net-
works require that a valid SIM card is in-
serted into the unit.
In the event that certain functions (incom-
ing call barring, call number barring, closed
If otherwise unavoidable:
Use only hands-free operation if you
have to use the telephone while you
are driving.
Traffic safety always has the highest priori-
ty.
Using the telephone in critical areas
Always switch off the mobile telephone in
areas where it is forbidden to use a mobile
telephone or if this equipment could cause
electromagnetic interference or otherwise
dangerous situations.
Using the telephone can result in interfer-
ence with the correct functioning of medical
equipment which is not sufficiently shield-
ed, particularly near the antenna. Please
consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the
medical device if you have any questions.
Other electronic equipment can also be af-
fected by electromagnetic interference.
If you are in an area where there is danger
of explosion, e.g. petrol stations, chemical
factories or other places where blasting work
is being done, switch your telephone off.
Switching off the telephone:
Press
for approx. 2 seconds.
“TELEPHONE OFF” will appear in the dis-
play.
user group, AOC, system barring, keypad
barring, etc.) are activated, it may be nec-
essary to deactivate them before placing an
emergency call.
Please read this instruction manual for fur-
ther information and consult your local net-
work operator.
When placing an emergency call, be sure
to supply all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Remember that your
mobile telephone may be the only means of
communication at the scene of an accident.
Do not hang up until you are told to do so.
Also read the information in the section on
“Telephone operation – GSM emergency
calls”.
Installation
Have the Radiophone installed in your ve-
hicle and serviced by a trained service tech-
nician only. Faulty installation or servicing
can be dangerous and will result in the ex-
piry of your guarantee.
If the vehicle is not adequately shielded
against radio frequency signals, electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic ABS sys-
tems, electronic cruise control systems or
other electronic equipment may experience
malfunctions.

While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
switching on the radio or recalling one of the
stored frequencies, the unit is automatically
searching for an alternative frequency.
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has run
through completely.
If the reception quality of the selected pro-
gramme becomes poor:
Tune into a different station.
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 including Schleswig-
Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony at
certain times of the day.
If you are listening to one regional pro-
gramme and move to an area where anoth-
er linked regional programme becomes
stronger, the unit will switch to that pro-
gramme.
Select operating mode
Audio mode
(Radio, tape deck, CD changer (optional),
auxiliary source)
During audio operation you can use SRC to
switch between radio, cassette and chang-
er (option) or an auxiliary sound source.
When in telephone mode, you can switch
back to the audio source used last by press-
ing SRC.
Telephone operation has priority. As a re-
sult, you cannot switch to audio mode un-
less you are not currently talking on the tele-
phone or trying to place a call.
Press SRC repeatedly until the func-
tions of the audio source you wish to
listen to appear in the display.
You cannot select tape or CD changer op-
eration unless a cassette/magazine contain-
ing CDs has already been inserted.
If an empty magazine has been inserted,
“NO CD” will appear in the display.
An auxiliary source can only be selected if
a Blaupunkt changer has not been connect-
ed to the system. “AUXILIARY SOURCE
ON” must be set in the DSC menu.
Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you added
convenience when listening to FM radio sta-
tions.
More and more radio stations have begun
to broadcast RDS information along with
their regular programmes.
As soon as a programme has been identi-
fied, the station name including a regional
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis-
play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro-
gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the preset buttons
become programme buttons. You now know
exactly which programme you have tuned
into, making it easy to find the desired sta-
tion quickly.
RDS also offers other advantages:
AF - Alternative Frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the radio always automati-
cally tunes into the strongest frequency of
the currently selected programme.
If this function has been activated “AF” will
appear in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
press AF/# briefly.
80
Manual tuning:
Press << / >>; the frequency will
change in degrees in the downwards
or upwards direction.
If you hold down the right or left part of the
rocker switch, the frequency scan will speed
up in the corresponding direction.
Entering the frequency directly
For FM or FMT, it is possible to enter the
station frequency directly.
Start your entry
by pressing 0.
Then enter the frequency, beginning
with the first digit. You need not enter
a decimal point.
Press CL to cancel this process or OK to
confirm your selection.
Station tuning
Seek tuning /
Press / ; the car radio will automati-
cally search for the next station.
If you hold down / (also applies to re-
mote control operation), seek tuning will
speed up in upwards or downwards direc-
tion.

Manual tuning with << / >>
You can also tune in a station manually.
Important:
AF must be switched off (i.e. the “AF” or
“REG” symbol does not light up in the dis-
play).
If necessary, deactivate this function:
Press AF/#.
If you wish to continue listening to the first
programme, switch REGIONAL ON by
pressing AF/# for approximately 1 sec-
ond until “REGIONAL ON” appears in
the first line.
When the regional function has been
switched on “REG” will replace “AF” in the
display.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme you are currently tuned into, or
if you would like to take advantage of the
full RDS service, switch to “REGIONAL
OFF”.
Press AF/# for approximately 1 second
until “REGIONAL OFF” appears.
Selecting a waveband
You can select between the following wave-
bands:
FM 87.5 - 108 MHz
MW 531 - 1602 kHz
LW 153 - 279 kHz
Use BND to select the waveband.
Press repeatedly if necessary.

Scrolling through the broadcast-
ing networks (FM only)
You can use the << / >> buttons to tune into
stations in your reception area.
If it is possible to receive several pro-
grammes in the same broadcasting network,
you can scroll through them in the forwards
direction by pressing >>, or backwards us-
ing the << button, e.g. NDR 1, 2, 3, 4, N-
JOY.
You must have tuned into these stations at
least once previously and “AF” must be ac-
tive (lights up in the display).
Start Travelstore, for example:
Press BND for 2 seconds; the system
starts to run through the frequency
band.
If “AF” does not light up,
press AF/#.
This fulfils the requirements for selecting
stations with << / >>.
Storing radio stations
You can store the following number of sta-
tions on the selection buttons for each of
the individual wavebands:
FM 19
TS (FM-Travelstore) 9
MW 9
LW 9
Use BND to select the desired wave-
band.
Select a radio station using the rocker
switch (automatically with
/ or man-
ually with << / >>).
Press the desired selection button for
approx. 1 sec. until you hear a beep.
If you want to store the radio station on a
two-digit preset,
press button 1 briefly and the second
button within 2 sec. until you hear a
beep.
You have now stored the radio station.
The station preset will appear in the display.
Note:
If you attempt to store a station which is al-
ready stored, the number of the correspond-
ing selection button and the memory bank
will flash in the display briefly if you are us-
ing the same memory bank.
Automatically storing the
stations with the strongest
reception using Travelstore
You can automatically store the nine most
powerful FM stations of your current recep-
tion area sorted according to their signal
strength. This function is particularly conven-
ient during longer trips.
Press BND/TS for 2 seconds.
“TRAVELSTORE” will flash in the display.
The nine FM stations with the best recep-
tion will be stored automatically in the FMT
(FM Travelstore) memory bank. When this
procedure has been completed, the radio
will switch to the station with the best re-
ception stored on selection button 1.
If desired, stations can also be stored man-
ually on the Travelstore memory bank (re-
fer to “Storing radio stations”).

Recalling stored radio stations
You can recall any stored radio station at
the touch of a button.
Press BND/TS repeatedly until the de-
sired waveband appears in the display.
Press the corresponding selection but-
ton briefly.
If you wish to recall a station stored on a
two-digit preset (e.g. preset 19) first press 1
and then 9 within the next 2 seconds.
Selecting the seek-tuning sensi-
tivity
You can alter the automatic seek-tuning
sensitivity.
If “lo” is displayed, the radio will only pick up
strong, local stations.
If “lo” is switched off, the radio will also pick
up weaker, more distant stations.
To switch the seek tuning sensitivity:
Press

The sensitivity level can be selected sepa-
rately for both modes. (Please refer to the
section on “Programming with DSC – DX-
LEVEL / LO-LEVEL”).
