Flashing light as theft protection  
The second KeyCard available from your  
specialised dealer allows you to read out  
short information under the DSC menu item  
“KC, READ”. This information will run  
through the display and could include, for  
example, the phone number of your car re-  
pair service or the emergency call number  
of your automobile association.  
The freely selectable text with a maximum  
of 162 characters can be programmed by  
any dealer who has the required equipment  
available.

A maximum of two cards can be used with  
the set.  
When the vehicle is stationary and the Key-

be switched to flash as an extra anti-theft  
device.  
For this to function properly, it is necessary  
that the positive power supply line and the  
permanent +12 V lead are connected as  
described in the installation instructions.  
If you attempt to “train” a third one, the ac-

In addition to these, there are also stations  
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-  
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON  
it is possible for them to forward the traffic  
messages broadcast by another traffic in-  
formation station in the same radio network.  
If you tune into a different radio station, the  
text transmitted by that radio station will be  
displayed.  
Warning beep  
If the station you are tuned into does not  
transmit radio text, “No Text” will appear in  
the display.  
If you leave the reception area of the traffic  
information station you are currently tuned  
into, you will hear a warning beep at inter-  
vals of approx. 30 seconds.  
If you want to have the priority for traffic an-  
nouncements activated while listening to  
one of these stations (e.g. NDR3), “TA”  
(Traffic Announcement priority) must appear

Synchronisation  
An overview of the equalizer  
functions  
To improve the accuracy of the internal  
clock, it can be synchronised on a regular  
basis. This is only possible when the time is  
received via an RDS-CT signal and the au-  
tomatic synchronisation feature is switched  
on (default setting).  
In-car hi-fi sound is affected by such things  
as the car interior (cushioning, windows),  
position of the speakers, etc.  
Press DSA and EQ one after the other.  
You can use the integrated equalizer to store  
three different equalizer settings each for the  
right and left channel (EQ1 - EQ3).  
If the RDS-CT signal is not available, the  
audio system will attempt to receive the  
DCF-77 time signal (atomic clock) to cor-  
rect the time the next time it is switched off.  
Seven frequency bands can be adjusted per  
channel.  
These settings can be made automatically  
using the hi-fi self-adjustment feature or  
manually.  
The display will indicate “CLK Sync” while it

Adjusting DNC  
Safety information  
If DNC is to operate correctly for your vehi-  
cle, it is necessary to take a reading with  
the microphone. Take the DNC reading af-  
ter you take the hi-fi self-adjustment read-  
ings. Use the enclosed tape to secure the  
microphone somewhere near the dash-  
board, but not in the foot area, near any-  
thing that reverberates or near the heating/  
cooling fans.  
The microphone head must be facing to-  
wards the passengers. The reading should  
be taken in a quiet area with the engine  
switched off.  
If the microphone is placed in the wrong  
position, the DNC reading will be incorrect.  
Adjusting DNC sensitivity  
As a result, the volume might be boosted  
too much while you are driving (could star-  
tle the driver).  
Please make sure to position the micro-  
phone correctly.  
The volume boost can be set to five differ-  
ent levels:  
Select DNC 1 if you have a loud engine and  
usually listen to music with a lot of bass,  
select DNC 5 if your vehicle runs very qui-  
etly and you usually select classical music.  
After you have taken a reading, the value  
will automatically be set to DNC 3.
