Important notes  
Anti-theft protection  
This car radio is supplied with inactive code  
protection. In order to switch the security  
coding system on, proceed as described in  
the following.  
If the coding system is active while the power  
supply to the system is interrupted (e.g. theft,  
disconnection of the car battery), the set will  
be electronically blocked. In such a case it  
canonlybemadeoperableagainbyentering  
the correct code number given in the car  
radio passport.  
Precautions  
Installation/Connection  
Before starting to use your new car radio, If you would like to install this equipment  
please read the information on “Traffic safe- yourself or add any new components, please  
ty” and “Anti-theft protection” carefully.  
carefully read the installation and connection  
instructions following the appendix.  
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!  
Use only the accessory and replacement  
parts approved by Blaupunkt.  
Traffic safety  
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your  
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic  
situationatalltimes.Neveruseyourcarradio  
in a way that could distract you.  
Please keep in mind that you travel a dis-  
tance of 14 m per second at a speed of only  
50 km/h.  
Should the traffic situation become particu-  
larlydemanding,weadviseyounottousethe  
radio.  
Always make sure that you are still able to  
hear any warning signals coming from out-  
side of the vehicle, such as police or fire  
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-  
ingly.  
Therefore, you should always select a  
moderate volume for playing your car radio  
while you are driving.  
Entry of a wrong code number  
It should not be possible for a thief to find out  
the correct code number by trial and error.  
Thisiswhythesetwillbeblockedforacertain  
periodoftimeafterawrongcodenumberhas  
been entered. The display will then show  
“CODE ERR”.  
After the first three unsuccessful attempts  
the system will lock for 10 seconds; after  
further attempts, the waiting time extends to  
one hour.  
After 19 unsuccessful attempts the display  
will show “OFF”. In this case you can no  
longer re-start the unit.  
Note:  
Keep your car radio passport with the code  
number in a safe place in order to avoid

“unauthorised access” to your car radio.  
When the security code system is activated,  
the unique code must be entered each time  
the power to the unit was interrupted.  
The radio will function again as soon as you  
have entered the correct code.  
If you have lost your radio passport and  
forgotten the code number, your radio can  
only be made operable again by one of our  
authorised service workshops, which is sub-  
ject to payment.

become programme buttons. You now know  
exactly which programme you have tuned  
into, making it easy to find the desired station  
quickly.  
REG - regional programme  
Automatic tuning  
Certain radio programmes are split up at  
times into regional programmes offering lo-  
cal information. The 1st programme broad-  
cast by NDR, for example, offers program-

Storing stations  
If “lo” is displayed, the radio will only pick up  
strong, local stations (low sensitivity).  
If “lo” does not light up, the radio will also pick  
up weaker, distant stations (high sensitivity).  
Make sure that “m” is not indicated in the  
display.  
You can automatically store the six most  
powerful FM stations of your current recep-  
tion area sorted according to their signal  
strength.  
This function is particularly convenient on  
longer trips.  
On FM, you can store six stations on the  
preset buttons 1-6 for each of the memory  
banks I, II and T.  
Select the memory bank with the FM  
button.  
Press the TS button briefly.  
Select the desired preset button (1 to  
6) for the new station to be stored  
using preset buttons 1-6.  
The radio will search for the strongest FM  
stations and store them on the memory bank  
“T” (Travelstore). When this process has  
been completed, the radio will play the first  
station.  
If desired, stations can also be stored manu-  
ally on the Travelstore bank (see “Storing  
stations”).  
Switching from stereo to mono  
(FM)  
If reception is poor, you may get better sound  
quality by switching to mono:  
Tune into a station either automatically  
or manually by pressing

Press the lo·m button until a beep  
sound is released and the stereo sign  
disappears from the display.  
Press the desired preset button 1-6  
until the radio resumes play after the  
muting and you hear the beep.  
Each time the radio is switched on, stereo  
playback is activated ( is displayed).  
The unit will automatically switch to mono if  
the received signal is not strong enough for  
stereo playback.  
Now the station has been stored.  
The activated preset button 1-6 is indicated  
in the display.

Receiving traffic programme stations with RDS-EON  
Many FM broadcasters offer traffic mess- To switch the priority on or off:  
Recalling stored stations  
ages for their service area at regular inter-  
vals.  
Press the TA button.  
You can recall any stored station at the touch  
of a button.  
When pressing TA while a message is being  
broadcast, this message will be interrupted.  
The unit will then switch back to the previous  
condition. The priority for other traffic mes-  
sages remains active.  
All traffic programme stations transmit a spe-  
cial carrier signal alongside their program-  
mes, which is decoded by your car radio. If  
this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in the  
display (Traffic Programme).  
Select the memory bank by toggling the  
FM button until the desired level ap-  
pears in the display.  
Press the corresponding preset button  
until the display shows the desired pre-  
set button.  
In addition to these, there are also stations  
which do not actually transmit traffic pro-  
grammes themselves, but by using RDS-  
EON they offer the possibility to receive the  
traffic messages broadcast by another traffic  
programme station in the same radio net-  
work. If you listen to one of these stations  
(e.g. NDR3), “TP” will appear in the display  
as soon as the priority for traffic programme  
stationshasbeenactivated, i.e. “TAmustbe  
displayed.  
Warning beep  
If you leave the reception area of the traffic  
programme station currently tuned into, you  
will hear a warning beep after approximately  
30 seconds.  
This alarm tone will also be released when  
pressing a preset button which has no traffic  
programme allocated to it.  
Switching the warning beep off  
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the  
radio will automatically switch to the linked  
traffic programme station (in this case,  
NDR2) for the duration of the message and  
return to the original programme (NDR3)  
afterwards.  
a) Tune into another station offering traffic  
information:

Mechanism/cassette tapes  
Prerequisite:  
The priority for traffic announcements has  
been activated.  
To avoid possible problems, you should not  
use cassette tapes longer than 60 or 90  
minutes (C60/C90). Store your tapes in a  
cool place away from dirt, dust and tempera-  
turesexceeding50° Celsius. Allowverycold  
tapes to warm up before playing them in  
order to avoid uneven tape transport. After  
approximately 100 hours of use, dust par-  
ticles collected on the playback head or roller  
may lead to tape run problems and sound  
distortions.  
Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal  
dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton  
swab (Q-Tip) soaked with alcohol. Do not  
attempt to clean by inserting a hard object  
into the player!  
Turn on the set.  
Insert a tape.  
When leaving the reception area of the tuned  
in traffic programme station while listening to  
a tape or after having turned down the vol-  
ume completely, the system will automati-  
cally start searching for a new TA program-

If no such station is found within approxi-
