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.

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.

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.

Seek tuning

<< / >> Up/Down in increments (for FM only

when AF is switched off)

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

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.

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”).

Switching from stereo to mono

(FM only)

playback will be activated automatically.

The unit will gradually switch to mono if the

reception deteriorates beyond a certain

point.
