Important
Operating the radio
while driving
Attention!
When driving, please give
absolute priority to focusing
your attention on traffic!
The demands of today’s road traffic
require the constant full attention of
motorists on driving.
The extensive functionality of modern car
radios provide, aside from a full complement
of entertainment features, also a variety
of information about traffic, weather
conditions, etc.
Please make sure that you
operate your radio only when
traffic conditions allow you to
do so. Please note the follo-
wing tips!
• Familiarize yourself with the extensive
functions of your car radio prior to
driving, if necessary, consult this
operation manual.
• Please, change basic settings that are
usually changed infrequently or only
once, for instance, in the setup menu,
prior to driving while the car is at a
standstill.

10:47 Uhr Seite 4
Comfort Radio Code
• Should you experience uncertainties
about the functions of the car radio or
unforeseen effects, clarify these with the
help of the operation manual while the
car is at a standstill.
• Adjust the sound volume inside the car
so that you are able to hear acoustic
signals from the outside at all times.
Comfort Radio Code
Your car radio is equipped with a specific
security code. The input of the security
code is required only at the time of initial
operation of the radio in the car. After the
initial input of the security code, the radio
registers itself in the car in which it is
installed. Therefore, the input of the code
number is not required after the car’s
voltage supply has been interrupted. In
this case, the car radio automatically
verifies the data of the car when the
ignition is turned on. The renewed input
of the security code is required only if the
radio determines that it has been in
stalled in a different car.
Should you not have received
a specific security code with
your car radio, your car is
equipped with a comfor t code
system that does not require
the input of a security code.
In case of disconnection and
reconnection of the car’s bat-
ter y, first inser t the ignition
switch into the ignition lock
and then switch on the car
radio. Should you wish to
receive a separate code, please
contact the service department
of your ·koda dealership.
Since the unit is able to function only
after input of the correct code, it cannot
be operated after being stolen and
installed in another car, thus effectively
protecting the radio against theft,
When the car radio and the ignition are
switched off, a flashing LED  indicates
that the theft protection is activated.

Tips on cassette use

traffic announcements
If the radio was in TP mode prior to
insertion of the cassette, the cassette
playback is temporarily interrupted and
the unit switched to the radio mode for
the duration of traffic announcements.
After the traffic announcement, the unit
automatically resumes playback of the
cassette.
Tips on cassette use
• For the best possible playback results,
we recommend the use of chrome
dioxide or metal cassettes with a
maximum running time of 90 minutes
(C90) or less (C60).
• Do not affix any stickers on the cassette
case. Owing to heat during cassette
operation these stickers may come
loose and impair the operation of the
cassette drive.
10
10:47 Uhr Seite 10
• Do not expose cassettes for longer periods
of time to extremely low temperatures
(below -10°C) or high temperatures
(above +50°C).
• Keep in mind that, in sunny weather,
temperatures inside the car may be
considerably higher than those outside
the car. For that reason, avoid exposing
your cassettes to direct sunlight.
• Store audio cassettes in their cases. On
the one hand, this protects them
against dust and, on the other hand, it
prevents "binding” of the tape caused
by the vibrations of the moving car, thus
preventing disturbances during playback.
We also recommend the use of original
cassette storage systems with spool
arresting devices, which are available for
most car models.
Cleaning the magnetic head
Cleaning the magnetic
head
Should the playback start to sound dull
after a prolonged period of use, this is
probably due to tape abrasion accumulated
on the magnetic head.
The accumulation of dirt on the magnetic
head can be removed by using a wet
cleaning cassette.
Use only cleaning cassettes by reputable
manufacturers and observe the
instructions for use supplied by the
cassette manufacturer.
We recommend cleaning of the magnetic
head after every 100 hours of operation.
Depending on the kind of cassettes used,
cleaning of the magnetic head may be
necessary in shorter intervals.
