been newly installed and cabled 
• the remaining function keys are not functioning 
properly
• an error symbol can be seen in the display.
NOTE: If you operate the “RESET” key and the unit does 
not react, then clean the base on the back of the 
operating unit with a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol.

Note: Frequency display may vary and subject to 
different country
Selecting the station
By briefly pressing the “    ” and “     ” keys (#16 and 
#17), you can activate the automatic search.
When you keep one of the keys pressed down for a few 
seconds, “MANUAL” appears in the display. This 
signifies that manual search has been activated. Using 
these keys you can now search by hand for a station 
that has not been found by automatic search for 
example. When neither of the two keys are pressed in 
manual search for a few seconds, the unit switches back 
to automatic mode again. “AUTO” appears in the 
display.
Automatic storing and scanning of stations
 Automatically storing stations
Press and hold down the “APS” key (#18) for a few 
seconds. The unit now begins to search for stations on 
the set band wave. After one pass, the 6 strongest 
stations are recorded in the programme memory and are 
now available on the 6 station keys.
• Scanning stations
Press the “APS” key (#18) briefly and the unit will begin 
to search for stations. If the strength of the station is 
sufficient, it will be reproduced for a few seconds.
Storing stations
Press one of the station memory keys M1-M6 (#14) 
when you want to store a station. Press and hold down 
one of the keys for a few seconds. Once a second beep

• Activating the RDS function
Use the “AF” key (#3) to switch this function on and off. 
When this function is activated, “AF” appears in the 
display.
Provided that a station supports the function, the station 
name and the song being played should appear in the 
display.
“AF” begins to flash when the signal from a station 
weakens.
“ALARM” appears in the display when important 
messages are being broadcast. The volume is also 
increased slightly if it has been set to a minimum.
• Setting regional programmes
This mode is activated and deactivated when you keep 
the “AF” key (#3) pressed down for a little bit longer. 
Some radio stations also broadcast over a regional area. 
If this mode is switched on, then a regional transmitter 
will be preferred on account of the better reception. 
When this function is switched off, the unit switches to 
and fro between the two signals.
• Using the “PTY” key (#1) to select the station
The sequence of this function is as follows:
When this function is activated, the unit searches 
through all frequencies one after the other until the 
corresponding value has been found.
If there is no result after several attempts to find a 
suitable station, then the unit switches automatically to 
normal search mode.
Notes: Various groups exist in “PTY” mode. These are:
These groups are divided into:
MUSIC GROUP
• POP M, ROCK M
• EASY M, LIGHT M
• CLASSICS, OTHER M
• JAZZ, COUNTRY
• NATIONAL M, OLDIES
• FOLK M
SPEECH GROUP
• NEWS, CURRENT AFFAIRS, INFO
• SPORT, EDUCATION, VARIED
• WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN
• SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE-IN
• TRAVEL, LEISURE, DOCUMENT
• Traffic announcement mode (TA)
When the “TA” key (#2) (traffic announcement) has been 
pressed, the CD (MP3) or CDC mode is active, then the 
unit switches automatically over to a radio programme 
when news and traffic announcements are being 
transmitted. Here, a station with EON is searched for 
and the volume is increased if it is too low.
As soon as the traffic announcements have finished, the 
unit automatically switches back to the previous mode. 
The current news or the traffic announcement can be 
interrupted by pressing the “TA” key briefly.
The “TA” mode is not switched off here, however.
When the “TA” key is pressed down for a long time, the 
unit automatically switches over to “EON TA 
LOCAL/EON TA DISTANCE
” mode.
This function has been implemented in order to prevent 
an incorrect switch over to EON stations.
It can happen that the unit receives an “EON TA” signal 
and switches to the corresponding station but this is too 
far from the radio. Here, the unit switches automatically 
to the original station. When this function is not activated 
and a station is too far away, it may be that nothing can 
be heard.
• “ EON TA LOCAL” mode
In this mode the unit switches to the other station if it 
offers a better reception than the station that was 
previously tuned to. When this function is activated, 
EON TA LO” appears for a few seconds in the display.
• “EON TA DISTANCE” mode
When this mode is activated, the unit tries to stay with 
the current station during news or traffic 
announcements. A search for local stations with possibly 
better reception does not take place. When this function 
has been activated, “EON TA DX” appears in the display.
• Transmitted RDS data
When the RDS function has been switched on, the 
following data can be received from the station:
“PI”: “Programme Identification Code” – code for 
identifying the programme
“PS”: “Programme Service Name” – the station name 
is transmitted with this
“AF”: “Alternative Frequencies” – transmission of 
other frequencies that transmit the same programme
“TP”: “Traffic Programme Identification” – traffic 
announcement signal
“TA”: “Traffic Announcement Identification” – signals 
the transmission of a traffic announcement.
“EON”: “Enhanced Other Network Information” – 
transmitted data such as “PI”, “PS”, “AF”, etc., refer here 
to the other station.
“PTY”: “Programme Type Code” – shows the content 
of the transmission, including the musical style of the 
current item.
