Switching RDS (Radio Data System) on/off

The Radio Data System is a service offered by radio stations which provides

you with more enjoyment and convenience when listening to FM radio. In addi-

tion to their regular programming, the radio stations broadcast such signals as

their station name, consisting of one to a maximum of eight characters and the

traffic information status of the station. The station name appears in the display

as soon as the station is identified. The TravelPilot also automatically searches

for the best frequency for the station selected.

To take full advantage of the RDS functions, you must activate this option for

radio operation in the DSC menu.

Start radio operation.

Press DSC ;.

Tuner function menu

Main tuner menu

You will access the DSC menu for radio operation and find the menu item for

RDS

in the bottom line on the left. Here you can choose between the following

options:

VAR

FIX

and

OFF

VAR

is the default setting.

Press the softkey marked

RDS

repeatedly until the desired option is dis-

played next to

RDS

FIX

: RDS radio operation is active. Because a number of radio stations trans-

mit not only their station names, but advertising as well, you can use this

setting to allow only the display of the station name. Alternating display

contents, such as advertising, will not appear on the screen.

VAR

: The default setting, RDS radio operation is fully active. Alternating dis-

play contents will also appear on the screen.

OFF

: RDS radio operation is deactivated. The radio station selected is identi-

fied in the display by its frequency.

Activating/deactivating RDS-REG

Another attractive RDS option is the “Alternate Frequency” function. The system

performs a constant search for frequencies with better reception for the radio

station selected and switches automatically to these frequencies. At certain times

of the day, however, some radio station networks broadcast different programs

to serve a particular region. If the alternate frequency option is activated, this

might mean that the radio automatically switches to a stronger frequency for the

same station which is currently broadcasting a different regional program. If you

want to continue listening to a particular regional program and prevent the radio

from automatically switching to a different frequency, switch the menu item

REG

in the DSC menu to

. Then the radio will not switch frequencies unless recep-

tion deteriorates to the point that it is no longer possible to pick up the frequency

selected.

Switching PTY on/off

PTY (Program Type) is also an RDS service. With PTY, the radio stations indi-

cate the contents of the program they are broadcasting. This allows you to se-

lect stations broadcasting the type of program you want to listen to more easily,

e.g. POP or CLASSICAL.

If you activate the PTY function in the DSC menu for radio operation, the pro-

gram type will appear briefly in the display when you select the station by press-

ing the station preset key, for example. If the station does not support the PTY

function, there will be no indication in the display.

is the default setting.

PTY Alarm

The Alarm is a special program type. If the TravelPilot detects an alarm mes-

sage, e.g. a disaster alert, a symbol will appear in the foreground of the display

and the alarm message will be emitted at the volume selected for traffic informa-

tion messages. The alarm message can be interrupted by pressing DSC ;,

TU @, CD.C ? and by switching to a different radio station.

Traffic information TA (Traffic Announcement)

Traffic information is a service provided by the radio station networks. They

broadcast traffic announcements at regular intervals. Radio stations offering traffic

information broadcast a special signal to indicate that this service is available. If

the TravelPilot identifies this signal, a TP symbol (TP=Traffic Program) will ap-

pear in the status line in the main radio menu.

Radio operation

Main tuner menu displaying the PTY symbol

If the TravelPilot TA function is active, traffic announcements will be broadcast

at the minimum volume selected in the Set-up Volume.

If the TA function is activated for the other sources, (CD player and CD changer

as well as navigation), playback will be interrupted for an incoming traffic an-

nouncement and the message will be broadcast. When the traffic announce-

ment is completed, playback will resume.

If the TA function is active and you select a radio station manually which does

not support traffic information, you will hear a warning beep. In this case, the

system will start an automatic search for a TP station after the warning beep has

Navigation

RNS 149 navigation enables you to find destinations quickly and easily without

having to study a lot of road maps. When the navigation function is active, the

voice output from the RNS 149 will guide you along the best route. The system

will warn you well in advance when you are required to make a turn. In addition,

you can also look at the display to see the driving recommendations in symbol

form as well as the remaining distance and travelling time to your destination.

Road safety is always of paramount importance. The rules of the

road always have priority over any driving recommendations given

by the navigation system.

How navigation works

The current position of your vehicle is determined by the electronic speedome-

ter signal, the gyroscope and a signal transmitted by GPS satellites (Global

Positioning System). The navigation system compares the data with the map

information stored on the navigation CD and uses this information as a basis on

which to calculate the routes for route guidance.

Starting navigation

With the system switched on, press NAV >. The main menu for navigation will

appear. To start route guidance for navigation, there must be a navigation CD-

ROM in the CD drive and you must have entered a destination.

Destination entry

The destination can be entered from the destination memory or by entering a

city/town, a town centre, a street, a junction and a house number as well as by

entering a number of special destinations (e.g. motorway access, train station, etc.).

Use / on the rocker switch to select

DEST. ENTRY

Press OK 8 to confirm your selection.

Main navigation menu

Destinations

The destinations available include:

• the town centre or a special part of the city in large cities,

• a street,

• a junction of two or more streets

• a house or a block of houses,

• Special destinations such as train stations, airports, restaurants and public

facilities. You can activate the special destinations sorted according to

the destinations in your final destination town, in the surrounding area of

your destination, on a national basis and in the area surrounding the

current location of the vehicle.

• Location markers you have set. This function is useful when you notice

an interesting place during your trip (e.g. a shop or restaurant) and would

like to use route guidance to return there later.

Destination entry with the edit menu

The edit menu is used to enter such information as city and street name in the

navigation system

The edit menu is divided into five parts:

1 the character set including all letters, a blank space and special charac-

ters and numbers,

2 the operating symbols,

3 the editing field,

4 the edit list and

5 the zoom which magnifies each character marked.

Selecting letters

If you want to enter a name in the edit menu, proceed as follows:

As you move the cursor, the character which it marks will be magnified in the

zoom window.

When you have marked the desired character, press OK 8.

The character will appear in the editing field.

When the first character has been entered, the edit list will appear displaying the

entries which begin with that character. When you enter an H as the first letter

for your destination, for example, the edit list will move down to the names of

places which begin with H (Haader). This allows you to find your destination in

the edit list quickly.

Deleting letters

To delete a letter which you have entered by mistake,

Mark the symbol and press OK 8 or the central softkey on the right

side of the display.

Once the name of the place you want to enter as your destination appears on

entries are marked with arrows

on the right-hand side. There are two ways to
