Playback only through one speaker

•

•

Playback only through the front or rear speakers

•

• 

The speaker connection has come loose. Remove the device and/or speakers and check the connections.

The device is muted in DAB mode

• 

Unlike normal radio operation, where interfering noise is caused by reception interferences, the DAB playback is 

muted when reception is poor. This is often explained by underdeveloped communication infrastructure, especially 

in rural areas. This is by no means a problem with your device.

• 

The DAB antenna was not properly installed, for example, too close to the vehicle's sheet metal parts or behind 

a metallised windscreen part. If a proper installation of the DAB antenna is not possible, use an external DAB 

antenna.

• 

The DAB antenna is not properly connected to/detached from the device or not connected to the antenna control 

output. Remove the device and check the connections.

No stations are received by the FM radio

• 

The antenna is not pulled out completely. Pull the antenna out to its full length.

• 

The antenna connection has come loose. Remove the device and check the connection.

• 

The antenna is defective. Check the connection, grounding and antenna itself.

Faulty radio, USB or SD memory card

• 

Interferences  reach the device  via the positive  line. Install  an additional  interference  suppression  coil into the 

positive line.

• 

If necessary, equip your vehicle with spark-plug suppressor sockets, distributor arms etc. to suppress interferences.

• 

Bad ground connection. Check the ground connection; use a different ground connection if necessary.

When you press a station button, you only hear a hissing

• 

No station has been programmed. Programme the stations as described above.

• 

The continuous positive line is not connected or has come loose. Connect or check the continuous positive line as 

instructed or check whether the cable is correctly connected. Check the fuse.

The device does not respond to button presses and displays unintelligible characters

• 

Press the RESET button (4) to reset the device to factory defaults.
