Radio reception may be aﬀected by the

use of electrical equipment not approved

by the Brand, such as a USB charger

connected to the 12 V socket.

The exterior environment (hills, buildings,

tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may

block reception, including in RDS mode.

This phenomenon is perfectly normal in the

context of radio wave transmission, and

in no way indicative of an audio system

malfunction.

The TA (Traﬃc Announcement) function gives

priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this

function needs good reception of a radio station

that transmits this type of message. While traﬃc

information is being broadcast, the current

media is automatically interrupted so that the

memory); this operation can take from a

few seconds to several minutes at the ﬁrst

connection.

Reduce the number of non-music ﬁles and the

number of folders to reduce the waiting time.

Playlists are updated whenever the ignition

is switched oﬀ or a USB memory stick is

connected. The audio system memorises these

lists, which will subsequently load faster if they

have not been changed.

Media

FM-DAB Follow-up

USB port

"DAB" does not cover 100% of the territory.

When the digital radio signal is poor, the

"FM-DAB Follow-up" enables you to continue

listening to the same station by automatically

switching to the corresponding "FM" analogue

station (if there is one).

Insert the USB memory stick into the USB

port or connect the USB device to the

USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).

Control is from the portable device or by using

the system's touch buttons.

To protect the system, do not use a USB

hub.

Once connected in Streaming mode, the

smartphone is considered to be a media

source.

Devices are managed using the audio system

controls.

Other devices, not recognised on connection,

must be connected via Bluetooth streaming, if

compatible.

Telephone

Pairing a Bluetooth^®

telephone

Connecting Apple^®players

To protect the system, do not use a USB

hub.

Connect the Apple^®player to the USB socket

using a suitable cable (not supplied).

Play starts automatically.

The services available depend on the

network, the SIM card and the

compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used.

Consult the telephone user guide and the

service provider to check which services are

available.

The audio system will only play audio ﬁles with

".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" ﬁle

extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and

320 Kbps.

It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.

No other ﬁle types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.

All ".wma" ﬁles must be standard WMA 9 ﬁles.

The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and

48 KHz.

To avoid reading and display problems, we

recommend choosing ﬁle names less than 20

characters long that do not contain any special

characters (e.g. “ ? . ; ù).

Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format

(File Allocation Table).

Control is via the audio system.

The classiﬁcations available are those of

the portable device connected (artists/

albums/genres/playlists/audio books/

podcasts). It is also possible to use a

classiﬁcation structured in the form of a

library.

The default classiﬁcation used is by artist. To

modify the classiﬁcation used, return to the

ﬁrst level of the menu then select the desired

classiﬁcation (playlists for example) and

conﬁrm to go down through the menu to the

desired track.

The Bluetooth function must be activated and

the telephone conﬁgured as "Visible to all” (in the

telephone settings).

To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is

used (from the telephone or from the system),

ensure that the code is the same in the system

and in the telephone.

If the pairing procedure fails, we

recommend deactivating and then

reactivating the Bluetooth function on the

telephone.

The version of software in the audio system may

not be compatible with the generation of the

Apple^®player.

We recommend using the original USB

cable for the portable device.

Procedure from the telephone

Select the name of the system in the list

of detected devices.

In the system, accept the connection request

from the telephone.

Information and advice

The system supports USB mass storage

devices, BlackBerry^®devices or Apple^®players

via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not

supplied.
