15.1 Connecting/removing a USB storage medium
To connect a USB storage medium, remove the protective rubber cap on the USB connection . Now
plug the storage medium straight from the front into the USB connection of the device. The display
switches to “USB” and the device searches through the storage medium for data that are suitable for
playback.
To remove a USB storage medium, please turn off the radio or change the audio source. Afterwards you
can pull the USB storage medium off the USB connection.
Note:
Please note that the connection of a USB removable storage device can lead to the device being turned off. It’s also possible
that your USB removable storage device is not recognized by the device even if it’s supported. Then the cause is an excessive
power demand by the removable storage device. To protect the device, it shuts off automatically. In such an event you will
need an additional power supply for the removable storage device, which is available in an electronics store.
Note:
Only connect the USB storage medium when the car radio is turned on.
Don’t pull off the USB storage medium while audio data are still being played back from it. This could result in reading
errors on the data storage medium.
To protect the USB connection of the device from damages, please select a sufficiently long USB connection cable.
Make sure that any connected USB storage medium is sufficiently well-protected from sliding inside the vehicle.
Don’t hang any objects across a plugged-in USB storage medium or the plug of a USB connection cable. This could
damage the USB connection.
