“SEARCH” goes out as soon as the system
has found an alternative frequency or after
the frequency band has been scanned com-
pletely.
Should the reception quality of the selected
program become too bad,
•
tune into another program.
REG - Regional
The AF function can also be used to activate
and deactivate the regional function. At some
time of the day, larger radio stations split up
their main program into regional program
versions offering local information.
If you want the radio to lock onto a regional
program,
•
hold down the AF button for about 2
seconds.
The display will show “REG ON”.
If you leave the service area of the regional
program or if you wish to use the entire RDS
service, switch to “REG OFF”.
•
Hold down the AF button for about 2
seconds until “REG OFF” is displayed.
If “REG ON” is activated, the display will
show “REG ON” each time the radio is
switched on.
If the radio is turned off before the waiting
period has elapsed, then the waiting period
restarts as soon as the radio is turned on
again.
Switching the code system off
•
Turn off the radio.
•
Simultaneously press preset buttons 1
and 4 and hold them down.
•
Turn the set on.
“CODE” will appear in the display.
•
Enter the code number given in the
Blaupunkt car radio passport and con-
firm: See example “Restart following
interruption …”.
The code system is now deactivated.
Optical indication of theft protec-
tion
When the car is stationary, an optical security
system in the form of a flashing LED can be
activated to visualize that your radio is code-
protected.
Depending on how you have hooked up your
radio, three different LED modes are
available, which can be programmed with the
DSC function.
See “DSC programming” for more details.
Radio operation with RDS
An ever increasing number of FM radio sta-
tions broadcast additional information paral-
lel to their normal program via the Radio Data
System to make reception even more con-
venient.
As soon as radio programs can be identified,
the station name and possibly the regional
identifier are in the display, e.g. “NDR1 NDS”
(local radio program in Lower Saxony, Ger-
many).
With RDS, the preset buttons turn into pro-
gram buttons. Now you know exactly to which
program your set is tuned in, making it abso-
lutely easy to find the desired station quickly.
RDS even offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative Frequency
The AF function assures that the strongest
frequency of the selected program is tuned in
automatically.
This function is on, if the display shows “AF”.
To switch AF on/off,
•
press AF briefly.
During seek tuning to the strongest frequen-
cy, the radio operation is muted for a mo-
ment. If “SEARCH” appears in the display
when turning the set on or when calling up a
stored frequency, the set is automatically
searching for an alternative frequency.
