Automatic Antenna
The antenna switch can be
actuated with the radio switched
on and the key in steering lock
positions “ 1” or “ 2” .
• If the antenna switch is in center
position, the antenna extends
automatically to a specific height,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the “ max." position, the
antenna extends fully,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the “ off” position, the
antenna will not extend or will
retract completely.
The height of the antenna can fur­
thermore be adjusted continuously
by actuating the antenna switch:
• If the antenna switch is in center
position, the antenna will ex­
tend to the specific height. The
antenna can be further extended
or retracted to any height by
rocking the switch (not engaging
it).
• If the antenna is to be retracted,
e. g. for playing cassettes, engage
switch in “ off” position.
When the key is turned to steering
lock position “ 0” or the radio is
turned off, the antenna will retract
completely.
FM Reception
FM signals travel in a “ line-of-sight” .
Reflections or “ dead spots” may
cause cancellations or loss of the
signal as well as strong signal over­
loading or capture.
Lowering the antenna height in
strong signal areas may eliminate
many of the resulting problems and
restore good tone quality. Fiowever,
fringe area reception requires the
full antenna length to capture weak
incoming signals. The antenna can
be operated by depressing the re­
spective side of the rocker switch.
FM Stereo Reception
When tuned to a FM stereo station,
the red Stereo Indicator Light will
light up. Because more information
is carried in the FM stereo signal
than in FM monoraul broadcasts,
flutter, cancellation and capture
effects may be even more notice­
able. The noisefree broadcast
range, therefore, is somewhat less
and accurate tuning to the
strongest available stereo stations
is required, especially for fringe
area reception.
Your radio is equipped with a speci­
ally designed Stereo Decoder which
automatically switches the radio
from stereo to mono reception if the
signal becomes too weak. Fiowever,
the Stereo Indicator Light remains
lit to avoid the distracting flicker at
short-time signal changes. The radio
will return to the stereo mode auto­
matically when signal strength per­
mits it.
