Important notes
Operating the radio whilst
driving
Modern traffic conditions demand the constant attention of road users.
Besides a wealth of entertainment, modern
car radios, with their range of sophisticated
features, also provide a great deal of information about traffic and road conditions,
etc.
However, the radio, with all its
possibilities, s h o u l d only be used if
c o n d i t i o n s really allow it.
For example, changing cassettes or reading
cassette labels while driving have frequently led to dangerous situations.
The volume of the radio should also be set
so that acoustic signals from outside can
also be heard.
Anti-Theft Coding
The anti-theft coding will electronically prevent unauthorized persons from operating
the unit if it has been removed from the vehicle.
If the word " S A F E " is displayed when the
radio is switched on, it can only be operated
by entering the correct code - see page
13.
This code number, together with the
unit's serial number, can be f o u n d on
the "Radio C a r d " at the front of this
instruction manual, next to the c o n tacts.
It is very important that you detach
this "Radio C a r d " and keep it in a
safe place - never keep it in the vehicle. Only then is the radio useless
to thieves!
Warning
Please concentrate on your driving above all!
