This security system relies on an unique PIN code to enable operation of your radio. The number only needs to be entered if the car's battery has been disconnected or if the radio has been removed from the car. Please refer to the security release procedure. [. . . ] To alternate between the AS radio stations and your normally stored radio stations (on FM1, FM2 or AM), briefly press the button AS 8. Whenever you are using the AM AS or the FM AS bands, 'AS' will also be shown in the display. Storing Stations Storage locations for 30 stations are available. · · · · · 6 x FM1 6 x FM2 6 x AM 6 x FM AS (Automatically-Stored FM stations) 6 x AM AS (Automatically-Stored AM stations) Automatic Storing (AS) This feature allows the storage of an extra 6 AM and 6 FM radio stations. It is of great benefit when away from the home location, as the strongest radio stations can be stored without knowing their frequency, and does not delete the stations already stored on FM1, FM2 or AM bands. Storing a Radio Station into a Preset 1. Select the required waveband, AM, FM1 or FM2 by button AM/FM 9. Tune to the desired station by means of: · Automatic seek tuning or · Manual tuning P4 AS 103. 7 Station on FM AS Stored on Preset 4 6 You can also store stations manually on the AS storage locations (see 'Storing a Radio Station into a Preset' elsewhere in this handbook). Range: AM broadcasts tend to follow the earth's curvature and also reflect from the upper atmosphere, in which enables long range reception, especially after sunset. FM transmissions are basically line-of-sight (similar to TV signals) and are reflected by buildings, mountains etc. , but not by the upper atmosphere. Interference: Interference is caused by either natural or man made electrical disturbances. Circuitry has also been included in this radio to reduce this type of distortion. Recalling Stored Stations Select waveband AM or FM with the button AM/FM 9. To select one of the stations stored with Auto-Store, select waveband AM or FM, then briefly press AS button 8 and press the desired preset button. Radio Reception Due to varying reception locations, car radios have performance limitations that may on occasions create the impression that your radio is malfunctioning. To assist you in understanding what can be expected from your radio, we have set out below how reception may vary from time to time and under certain conditions. AM and FM: There are two types of radio broadcasts in Australia. AM or Amplitude Modulation in which the amplitude of the signal is varied to produce the sound and FM or Frequency Modulation in which the frequency is varied to produce the sound. 7 To reduce the effects of interference and/or poor signal strength, several features have been included within the radio which work automatically when needed: · Noise Blanking Circuit (FM interference suppression) - To reduce pulse interference, a Noise Blanking Circuit is included. · Soft Muting Circuit - The built-in Soft Muting Circuit will reduce the FM stereo separation and treble response if the signal from the radio station diminishes. This effectively lessens the amount of hiss and background noise that is usually heard with weaker FM signals. · Multipath Detection Circuit - If repeated multipath signals are received, the circuitry will switch the radio into MONO mode and slightly reduce the treble response. It will gradually return to STEREO with full treble response when multipath conditions are no longer being experienced. CD Operation CD Loading Ensure that the CD entry slot 6 is clear. Insert the CD (lettered side up) into the slot until the CD is automatically received and taken. The CD operation will automatically override the radio. After the CD has been accepted, the player begins with the first track on the CD. Initially the total number of tracks on the CD is shown as 'TxxCD' followed by: TRACK DISC IN CD Pausing Pressing the CD button 2 while playing a disc will pause the CD. The display will show: PAUSE To resume the playing of the CD press button 2 again. Track Selection You can select a desired track on a CD by briefly pressing button ; <TUNE/TRACK> Press button TRACK> ; to go on the next track or press repeatedly until desired track appears in the display. [. . . ] Press preset buttons 3 and 5 (=) together and keep pressed. Switch on the radio and keep preset buttons 3 and 5 (=) pressed until the display shows 'BEEP OFF' or 'BEEP ON'. Select 'BEEP ON' or 'BEEP OFF' with the tuning buttons (;). To store the new setting press preset buttons 3 and 5 (=) again for at least 3 seconds until you hear a confirmation beep. Car Telephone This radio includes a telephone input facility. [. . . ]
