Insert an USB memory stick, MP3 USB player, an Apple iPOD© (Shuffl e, Mini, Nano, Video, etc.) or connect an external 2.5 or
1.8 Inch USB Hard Disk Drive into this socket to listen to the stored MP3, or WMA songs. If a USB Hard Disk is connected, then
the unit only recognizes FAT16 or FAT32 formatted hard disks. NTFS or Linux formatted hard disks are NOT supported. The
USB icon will be seen on the information display when one of these devices is connected. Please note: there is a wide variety
of memory sticks in the market, with or without MP3-players integrated. Some of these memory sticks are not compatible with
this unit and will not play. When Apple iPOD© equipment is connected to the USB Socket, then the rechargeable batteries will
automatically be charged only when the iPOD© is min. 50% charged
Note - Warning: Some external HDD drives or MP4 players and iPOD© which is not yet at least 50% charged, do consume too
much power and may result in a shut down or malfunction of the unit and even can damage the unit not covered in the warranty.
In this case the external HDD or MP4 player needs to be connected to an external power source.

SD Card Slot
Insert a Secure Digital Memory card or SDHC card into this slot to listen to the stored MP3-WMA songs. The SD-CARD icon
will be seen on the information display.
Note: it sometimes takes several seconds before the card is indexed. When the MODE button is pressed and the SD card is
selected, but the unit turns back to the Radio automatically, then this means the card is not indexed yet. Wait a few seconds
before pressing the MODE button again to select the SD card, DO NOT eject the SD card, as it may damage the fi le content.
RDS
Radio Data System (RDS) enables you to make the best use of your RDS equipped unit. RDS allow radio stations to transmit
data that will make use easier. The radio stations can send short messages on RDS and provide additional information about
the programs being transmitted, weather, general information, traffi c jams, the title of a record or a 'phone-in number, etc. RDS
information is transmitted with many radio stations that broadcast on the FM band.
PS (Program Service Name)
The unit is supplied with a character display that will show the name of the selected radio station. When you program your
favorite radio stations into the preset station numbers, it is not just the frequency that is stored, but also the station's identifi cation.
If you have set RADIO-ONE to be on button number one, then pressing this button will always give you RADIO-ONE wherever
you are in the country.
AF (Alternative Frequency) Automatic Tuning
The unit receives information about the frequencies of nearby transmitters. This enables it to choose the strongest FM signal
for the selected station. This is particularly useful and safe for you as a driver, you no longer have to re-tune when driving
between different transmitter coverage areas.
Regional Links (REG On/Off)
Many local radio stations only have a couple of different frequencies, and their coverage area is limited. Some local stations
are linked together according to their region, so that if the signal from a local radio station becomes weak, the unit can switch
to another local station in the same region. If you wish the radio to stay tuned to the same local station regardless of the signal
strength or quality, then you should turn the Regional facility ON, as described in the previous pages.
