Radio Operating RegionWhen the radio is first powered up or after a reset, it will ask you to select the geographical radio operating region, use the rotary control to choose your region and press the knob to select. This can also be set using the Radio Mode menu – all menus are context-sensitive i.e. Radio Only functions can only be accessed in radio mode.
Button FunctionsThe function of some controls depends on context. For example, the 1 button is used to recall (short press)or store (long press) radio station preset 1, However, when playing media (USB or BT), pressing this button will toggle play/pause.
Bluetooth Operation
General OperationWhen paired to a mobile phone Bluetooth-enabled radio models, allow the user to perform hands-free calling via the radio. The radio has Answered” and “Hang-Up” buttons to accept or reject an incoming call.
When no call is active the Answer” button can be used to re-dial the last number – pressing once asks if you want to re-dial, pressing again dials the number, pressing the Hang-Up” button cancels the request.
Bluetooth ProfilesBluetooth enabled units can wirelessly link to Bluetooth devices such as mobile phonesThe modes of Bluetooth connection are referred to as profiles” Tis radio supports the following profiles:
1)A2pp; Advanced Audio Distribution Profile – Playing (Streaming) music using Bluetooth. Devices that have A2DP functionality can stream music into the radio to be played through the vehicles loudspeaker system.2) AVRCP: In addition, if supported by the device, the AVRCP profile (Remote Control Profile), allowing functions like ‘next track’ and ‘previous track to be controlled from the radio.3) HFP; Handsfree Profile – Making or receiving telephone calls using Bluetooth.4) SSP: Secure Simple Pairing – this method is based on a random number generator and the user does not need to enter g PIN number on the phone
PairingTo use the Bluetooth hands-free function a mobile phone needs to be paired” to the radio. To “pair the mobilephone with the radio ensure that the radio is turned on. On the mobile phone search for Bluetooth devices and select the supplier’s reference model number RM1801. Check for a successful pairing notification on the mobile phone.Once paired it is the mobile phone that determines automatic reconnection to the radio. (e.g. on re-entry to the vehicle with the ignition on). To disconnect a Bluetooth device temporarily use the DISCONN” (disconnect) menu function. To permanently

Searching for Radio StationsUse the >>] and [<< buttons to search for radio stations: short press to automatically seek the next availablefrequency (ump to the next to seek to stop).
Manual TuningLong-press either the >>] or ]<< button to change to manual-seek mode. In this mode, a short press of one of these seek buttons changes frequency one step at a time whereas a long press will scroll until the button isreleased. The radio will revert to auto-seek mode if either button is not operated for 3 seconds.
AutoStore Radio StationsLong press the BAND button will start an “auto store” sequence to scan the whole band and store the strongest stations found.
Searching for Radio StationsWhen listening to a radio station a long press on one of the radio preset buttons will store it permanently. The current station will be saved. A stored radio station can be recalled by a short press of one of these buttons. The stored radio station can be updated by tuning to a different station and performing a long press.
Long press: Store your favourite radio stations using radio station presets.Short press: Recall the stored station.
FM RadioRadio Data System (RDS) is available in many countries. If an RDS broadcast is present, RDS functions such as AF and TA can be enabled or disabled. RDS is only available in the FM bands.
Radio RDS NotesWhen RDS (Radio Data System) is operating the radio will show the station name e.g. “BBC R1” rather than the frequency. RDS is only available on the FM band. If RDS service is not available, the radio operates in conventional FM radio mode.
AFAlternative Frequencies. When this feature is enabled, the radio can stay tuned to BBC R1 by automatically returning the reception frequency when the first signal becomes weak such as when the vehicle has moved out of range, providing that a stronger signal on the alternative frequency is available. Channel switching to the same radio station is performed automatically. In infringing the reception areas the user may switch off AF if silent frequency seek is experienced frequently. Choose the AF menu item and select OFF.
TATraffic Announcement. When switched on, if a traffic announcement is available the radio will automatically switch to the station broadcasting the announcement until it is complete. The TA menu item toggles between TA ON and TA OFF.
TPTraffic Program — An indicator is displayed if the currently tuned station is a traffic announcement capable station.
PTYProgram type. RDS broadcasting services categorize the type of programs for the listener. Examples are NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO, SPORT, EDUCATION, DRAMA, CULTURE, SCIENCE, POP M, ROCK.
Radio Preset NotesFM has 3 bands, FM1, FM2, and FM3 bands each band has 6 radio presets. In total there are 18 FM radio presets for the user to store pre-tuned radio stations. MW has one band with 6 radio presets, as does LW. There are 12 AM (MW & LW) radio pre-sets. In total there are 5 x 6 = 30 radio presets. The radio stores these permanently on an EEPROM memory device, that does not require external power to retain the radio station preset memory.
Media USB
One single media device can easily fit thousands of songs (audio tracks). These tracks are often referred to asMP3 and WMA. Without any specific metadata, the radio uses the track filename as the title. Tracks can be put into folders and sub-folders.For media carriers such as US sticks, the unit can play files inside sub-foldersAvoid having too many levels of depth in the sub-folders.Do not carry too many audio files on a media to avoid difficulty in finding the desired song/track.Media software and hardware are updated at a fast pace, so although the radio is shipped with the latest media compatibility; newer US8 sticks and/or new file formats may not be compatible.Listed below are the alternative functions of various keys on the front panel for media play-back.

INTRO Intro-play INT indicator will be shown on the LCD display. When in this mode the radio will play the first 10 seconds of each track (intro) then skip to the next track. When at the desired track, press the INTO button again to cancel the intro-play and listen to the whole track.
RDM Random-play, RDM ALL randomly plays from all tracks, RDM FLD plays tracks randomly from the current folder. RDM OFF plays tracks in the order they appear in the folder
FLN/FL Previous folder and next folder
There is a BROWSE feature that allows the user to cycle through the available media by folders and files to select a track. Press the BAND button to select this mode. Rotate the volume knob to scroll through the folder/filename/tracklist. Press the volume knob to select
Reset – Software / HardwareSoft Reset – MENU – RESET: If the user is not sure if settings on the radio have been altered inadvertently, restoring the factory default settings may help. On reset factory settings will be reloaded, overwriting the current data selections with their default values. This includes such items as BT pairing, station presets tone settings, etc.
Hard Reset – A hardware reset button is located on the front panel (see “Front Panel Layout”) and can be activated by a paper clip or pen. This is only necessary if the radio refuses to react to any button input.
Power Off Timer
This radio has a power-off-timer enhancement feature. The setting for this is accessed by a long press on theMENU button (system menu), in any mode, and using the >>I or ]<< buttons to select the timer menu. Settings are OFF AUTO, 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min. OFF is the factory default value where the radio powersoff immediately when the ignition key is switched off. This is the same as conventional radios.
AUTO mode will switch off the radio with the ignition, but you can turn the radio back on (or off) for a 30-minute period.
30, 60, or 90 minutes will keep the radio playing for this time after the ignition is switched off. Turning the radio off manually will cancel the timer and the radio will not switch on until the ignition is also turned on. This countdown timer is shown on the display using the small secondary line of characters. In the last 5minutes of the countdown timer, the main display will warn the user that the radio is about to shut down.
This feature extends listening time and allows the ignition key to be removed for safety reasons. It also prevents the battery from being drained if the radio is left turned on for an extended period. The exact availability of this feature depends on the type of the vehicle since both a switched ignition “ACC” wire and a permanent battery “B+” wire are used to control this function and must be connected to the radio.
