Mounting Instructions
Installation
The inserts of the flush-mounted radio can be 
installed in flush-mounted device boxes one 
below the other or next to each other as desired:
1. Install the loudspeaker insert and lay the con-
nection cables of the loudspeaker insert in 
the flush-mounted device box of the radio 
insert.
2. Connect the power supply (230 V) to the L/N 
terminals of the radio insert.
3. Connect the auxiliary input (1) if required (see 
"Auxiliary unit function").
4. Connect the loudspeaker connection cables 
to the radio insert (see "Loudspeaker connec-
tion"). 
5. Install the radio insert into the flush-mounted 
device box.
6. Remove the protective cover from the loud-
speaker insert.
7. Apply the cover frame and attach the loud-
speaker cover and operating top unit.
Loudspeaker connection
Either one or two loudspeakers can be con-
nected to the RDS flush-mounted radio: 
The maximum cable length between the loud-
speaker and radio insert is 20 m.
Mono operation
If only one loudspeaker is connected, sound is 
generated in mono quality. 
With connection of only one loudspeaker the left 
channel (L+ / L–) must be used. Loudspeaker 
impedance must not exceed 4 ohms.
Stereo operation
If two loudspeakers are connected to the flush-
mounted radio, the radio signal is generated in 
stereo quality.
Auxiliary unit function
The RDS flush-mounted radio is equipped with 
an auxiliary input. This for example enables 
switching of the radio via a switch or automatic 
control switch together with room lighting. For 
this purpose, the switched phase is laid from the 
switch to the auxiliary input (1) of the radio.
If no permanent phase exists in the room, con-
nection of the flush-mounted radio can alterna-
tively be carried out via the switched phase. In 
this case however the flush-mounted radio may 
only be operated with lighting switched on.
Connection of AUX input
The RDS flush-mounted radio is equipped with 
an AUX input via which external music sources 
such as MP3 players can be connected. For this 
purpose an additional cinch socket outlet is con-
nected to the AUX IN terminals of the RDS flush-
mounted radio. The maximum cable length 
between the cinch socket outlet and radio insert 
is 3 m.
The external music source is then connected to 
the RDS flush-mounted radio with an adapter 
cable (e.g. cinch - jack) via the cinch socket out-
let. 
Upon switching on the external music source, 
the RDS flush-mounted radio automatically 
switches to AUX mode and generates the signal 
of the external source.
Manual initialisation
With initial start-up the RDS flush-mounted radio 
automatically carries out an initialisation that 
determines the number of connected loudspeak-
ers and adapts the antenna to site conditions 
etc.
If a second loudspeaker is connected at a later 
date or the flush-mounted radio is installed at a 
new location, initialisation must be triggered 
manually:
1. Press the buttons 
>> and 2 simultaneously 
and hold for at least 5 seconds until the flush-
mounted radio is muted.
✓ Initialisation proceeds:
• The display shows INIT and a progress bar.
• The radio generates two tones to determine 
the number of loudspeakers.
• The two strongest stations are automatical-
ly stored in the station presets 1 and 2.

Important
Installation and mounting of electrical devices 
may only be carried out by a qualified 
electrician.
The RDS flush-mounted radio must be installed 
protected from dripping and sprayed water in 
indoor areas.
Electronic devices cause interference signals 
which may be picked up by radios. Reception 
interference may therefore result in combina-
tion with electronic devices in one installation 
unit or in close proximity (e.g. ballasts). For this 
reason, carry out a functional check on-site 
before installing such a combination. Interfer-
ence can be minimised by increasing the dis-
tance between the devices.
i
Support ring seal
The support ring of the loudspeaker insert is 
coated with a film that provides acoustic isola-
tion of the insert from the front sound opening.
This support ring seal must not be removed 
and, apart from holes caused by the attachment 
screws must not be damaged, as otherwise 
bass reproduction may be impaired.
i
Initial start-up
When switching on for the first time initialisa-
tion begins automatically:
• The display shows INIT and a progress bar.
• The radio generates two tones to determine 
the number of loudspeakers.
• The two strongest stations are automatically 
stored in the station presets 1 and 2.

Retrofitting a second loudspeaker
If a second loudspeaker is connected to the 
flush-mounted radio at a later date, initialisation 
must be manually triggered (see 'Manual initial-
isation').

Information on improving reception
With poor reception conditions, reception 
can be improved by extending the left-hand 
loudspeaker cable (L+/L–) to 75 cm if 
installation conditions permit.
