General instructions
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.

The main switch for the on-board
computer is inside the two-way
radio box.

power from the auxiliary bat-
tery even when the ignition is
OFF. With the engine stopped,

ON for longer than absolutely
necessary.
NOTICE
On the R 1200 RT (K52), the

switched off 120 minutes after
the engine is stopped so as not
to place unnecessary strain on
the auxiliary battery.

You can reactivate the system
by pressing F5.
To switch the system off com-
pletely press the main switch
of the on-board computer.
You cannot switch the system
on again by pressing F5.
