Important safety instructions

Please read and strictly observe the following instructions!

You are not permitted to disassemble, modify or repair the car radio. Never open the case of the car radio; it does not contain any serviceable parts! If the case is open, there is a risk of fatality due to electric shock. Do not give your car radio and especially the accessories to children. Never let your children use electrical devices without supervision. Children are not always able to recognise potential hazards. Also keep plastic packaging away from children. There is a danger of suffocation. The car radio and the accompanying components must not be exposed to dripping or sprayed water. Make sure that no containers filled with liquid, such as bottles or cups, are placed in the vicinity of the device. Make sure that the display is not subjected to any knocks. This can damage the display. Please familiarise yourself with the different functions of your device before you begin driving. Excessively high volumes can pose a risk for you and other road users. Therefore, always set the volume at such a level that ambient noises (horns, sirens etc) can still be heard. Multimedia CDs also contain recordings of files other than audio files. If you play such a CD despite the warning information, it may result in noise at a volume that endangers traffic. Furthermore, damage may be caused to the power amplifier and speakers. Do not use the car radio at an excessive volume. This poses a risk to your hearing.

If an RDS (radio data system) station is being received that is broadcast by several broadcast stations with different frequencies, the device automatically switches to the frequency that can be received most clearly. The device is supplied with the AF function activated. In an area with poor reception, attempts to change between alternative frequencies can be heard as disruptive pauses. In such an event, the AF function can be turned off. Note: Radio reception conditions In the FM wave band, there may be changes in reception conditions during the drive. Mountains, buildings or bridges can adversely affect reception. This applies especially if the distance to the station is great. Enhanced Other Networks (EON) The EON function (see page 45) is an additional RDS service. If the current programme does not offer any traffic announcements, EON automatically switches to the traffic announcements on another programme. After the end of the announcement, the device switches back to the previously heard station. TA has to be activated for this.

English

95

12.7 Regional programmes (REG)

13 CD Mode
The SilverCrest CRB-532 Bluetooth car radio supports the formats CD-Audio; CD-R; CD-RW and MP3/WMA/OGG-CD. Note: Conditional on the quality differences of the media as well the characteristics of the recording, it may happen that some individually recorded CDs are unable to be read. Such events do not constitute a malfunction of the device. Audio CDs (CD-R and CD-RW) that are recorded individually have to be finalised at the end of the burning process. Note that the file names of the audio tracks have to correspond to ISO-9660 standard. During the playback of MP3 CDs, individual tracks may be skipped or not played back correctly. This may be due to the respective disc configuration, the decoder software, or the hardware that was used for the recording. Copy-protected CDs do not correspond to the specifications of audio CDs (CD-DA), do not carry the respective logo, and can therefore cause playback errors.

Connecting radio and mobile phone

If the option visible to everyone is activated on your mobile phone, the Bluetooth car radio CRB-532 (when switched on) automatically connects with your mobile phone as soon as it is in the vicinity. If the option hidden is activated on your mobile phone, a manual pairing order is required for the mobile phone (please check the user manual of your mobile phone for exact information about this). If the telephone and device are connected to each other through Bluetooth, the BTI-LED remains continuously illuminated. 116

Note: A mobile phone with the activated option visible to everyone also allows third parties to see your device and potentially access it.
