Radio Tuning 8 RADIO PRE-SET BUTTONS The six pre-set buttons (8) can be used to manually store up to twelve FM stations (six each on FM1 and FM2), twelve MW stations (six each on MW1 and MW2), and six LW stations. Programming the pre-sets •Select the required waveband (FM1, FM2, MW1, MW2 or LW). •Tune to the desired frequency using either automatic or manual tuning (see ‘RADIO TUNING’, page 7). •Press and hold one of the pre-set buttons. The radio will mute while the frequency you have chosen is stored on the pre-set. The display briefly shows the frequency and station name (where appropriate) of the radio station previously stored on the pre-set, and then the new frequency (and station name). •Release the pre-set as soon as radio sound is restored and the new frequency details are displayed. NOTE: Once the pre-sets have been programmed, they will be retained by the unit until either; they are re-programmed, or power to the audio unit is disturbed (vehicle battery disconnection, for example). Operating the pre-sets Once the pre-set buttons have been programmed, operation is simple; select the desired waveband, then press the pre-set button of your choice. ICE0211845
9 Radio Tuning AUTO-STORE Auto-store enables you to rapidly tune and store the strongest FM and MW radio signals in a single operation. This facility is particularly useful if you are in an unfamiliar area and have little knowledge of local transmitter frequencies. Programming auto-store Press and hold the appropriate waveband selection button (4 or 5) - the radio mutes and the display shows either ‘FM AUTOSTORE’ or ‘MW AUTOSTORE’). Auto-store scans the waveband to find the six strongest frequencies and then stores them on either the FM2 or MW2 pre-set buttons in order of signal strength. Radio sound is restored once the operation is complete. If auto-store is unable to find six strong stations, the remaining pre-sets are not used (display shows ‘NO STATION’). NOTE: Auto-store overwrites any stations already stored on the FM2 or MW2 pre-set buttons.NOTE: If FM auto-store is programmed with the traffic facility switched on, then programming will be limited to those stations capable of providing traffic information only. For this reason, it is recommended that the traffic information facility is switched off before the pre-set stations are stored and before auto-store is programmed. Operating auto-store To tune to one of the auto-store frequencies, select FM2 or MW2, then press the pre-set button of your choice. ICE0210845
Traffic & News Information 10 Traffic & New s Informatio nINFORMATION BROADCASTS On the FM waveband, the RDS facility enables your radio to receive traffic and news information broadcasts from local radio stations that are linked to the same network as the station to which it is tuned. Traffic and news information broadcasts can be selected by pressing the information button (9). Once selected any available traffic and news information broadcasts are then received automatically as and when they occur (even if you are listening to cassette tapes or CDs). Selecting traffic information BRIEFLY press the information button - the word ‘TRAFFIC’ illuminates in the display. During traffic announcements the display flashes ‘TRAFFIC’ alternately with the name of the radio station providing the information. If the radio is tuned to a weak FM signal or a radio station that cannot provide traffic information, the display briefly shows ‘NO TRAFFIC’, then the message ‘STATION SEEK’ flashes in the display while the radio searches the waveband. It then tunes to a radio station that does provide traffic information broadcasts. In remote areas, it may be impossible to find a traffic information station. The radio will search the waveband twice; if a station cannot be found, the radio displays ‘NO TRAFFIC’ and returns to the station to which it was previously tuned. NOTE: When traffic information is switched on, occasional, and very brief, muting of the radio may occur while the set searches for traffic broadcasts. For this reason, it is recommended that traffic information is switched off when not needed. Selecting news information Press and hold the information button for approximately 2 seconds - the word ‘NEWS’ illuminates in the display. During news broadcasts the display flashes ‘NEWS’ alternately with the name of the radio station providing the news information. NOTE: Both traffic and news information can be selected at the same time. However, the radio gives priority to traffic information. TRAFFIC NEWS ICE02169
11 Traffic & News Information Switching off information broadcasts Traffic information: To switch off traffic information, briefly press the information button (‘TRAFFIC’ disappears from the display). This action will prevent traffic information broadcasts from being received until the button is pressed again. News information: To switch off news information, press and hold the information button for approximately 2 seconds (‘NEWS’ disappears from the display). This action will prevent future news broadcasts from being received until the feature is reselected. Unwanted information broadcasts can be aborted by similarly pressing the information button. In this case, because the feature is being disabled DURING an information broadcast, disablement is only temporary - the feature will return as soon as the next traffic or news information bulletin is broadcast. Information broadcasts during tape or CD play When the radio is in either traffic or news information mode, CD or tape play will be interrupted by information broadcasts automatically as and when they occur. The display will alternatively flash the station name and ‘TRAFFIC’ or ‘NEWS’. At the end of the broadcast, tape or CD play will resume. Volume for Traffic and News announcements The volume of traffic and news information broadcasts can be set independently from the volume required for other audio output (e.g. radio, cassette and CD), as follows: Wait for a traffic or news announcement, then during the broadcast, adjust the volume to the desired level (this is likely to be greater than that required for other audio output). Once this volume has been set, it will be memorised by the audio unit and replicated automatically next time a traffic or news announcement is broadcast. Note that further adjustments to the volume can be made during any subsequent traffic or news announcements. NOTE: The volume level for traffic announcements will be lower than the current volume. Emergency alarm announcement Emergency announcements cannot be activated or deactivated by the user. If an emergency traffic or news announcement is transmitted (‘ALARM’ appears in the display), all other audio functions will be overridden.
Radio Reception 12 Radio Reception RADIO RECEPTION Distortion, interference and lack of signal clarity, are often attributed to a fault in the radio - this is rarely the case. Problems of this kind are usually caused by phenomena such as atmospheric conditions, signal strength, hilly terrain, tall buildings, bridges and even electrical interference from power lines. Please remember: A car radio receives signals while the vehicle is in motion (unlike a domestic set) - constantly changing direction and moving away from, or nearer to, the transmitter whilst negotiating terrain with widely differing reception characteristics. Some interference is to be expected from time to time. FM transmitters can only broadcast over a limited range and good, clear signals will only be received in the immediate area of the transmitter. When travelling, it may be necessary to re-tune the radio from time to time, to offset the effects of moving from one transmitter area to another. While RDS automatic retuning eases this problem, some manual retuning may still be needed (especially for local stations) in areas of weak reception. The broadcast range for good stereo reception (usually within a 50 to 65 km radius of the transmitter) is noticeably less than it is for mono. FM Signals (like light waves) travel in a straight line, so large obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the vehicle from the signal causing distortion or loss of reception (known as dead spots). Distortion can also occur if FM signals received directly from the transmitter mix with signals which have been reflected by obstructions such as mountains, hills and tall buildings (this is known as multi-path distortion).

13 Care of Cassette Player and Tapes C are o f C ass ette Play er an d Ta pe s CARE OF CASSETTE PLAYER AND TAPES Use only good quality tapes with a maximum capacity of ninety minutes (C90). Check that both spools rotate freely and remove any loose turns at the start of the tape by winding one spool with a pen or pencil. Cassette player In use, the tape head accumulates dust and contamination, gradually impairing sound reproduction and, in extreme cases, reducing volume too. To combat contamination, clean the tape head periodically (after approximately every 20 hours playing time) by passing a wet type cleaning cassette through the player. If a fault with the tape is detected (e.g. if there is a tape jam), ‘TAPE ERROR’ appears in the display - eject the tape and if the problem persists and the tape seems in good condition, consult your dealer. NOTE: Because your cassette player is fitted with auto reverse, the cleaning cassette must be played in both directions. The tape will require more frequent cleaning in winter, as contamination is greater in conditions of low temperature and increased humidity. However, the use of good quality tapes keeps the build up to a minimum. Cassette tapes •Always store cassettes in their boxes when not in use. •Never leave cassettes in the vehicle during extremes of temperature. In particular, do not leave tapes in direct sunlight as they may warp and become unusable, or jam the tape player mechanism. •Fast forward, or rewind tapes every 8 to 10 plays to prevent them from becoming too tightly wound. •Ensure that labels attached to the cassette are glued firmly in place. •DO NOT leave tapes in the cassette player for more than a few hours in very cold or humid conditions - the oxides on the tape surface may contaminate the cassette player mechanism. NOTE: After continuous playing, cassettes may become hot to touch.This is normal and will not harm good quality tape. ICE 0054
CD Changer Unit 14 CD C han ger Un it COMPACT DISC CHANGER UNIT* Removing/inserting the magazine Fully open the sliding cover (1) to insert or remove the magazine. Keep the cover closed at all other times to prevent dust and dirt from entering the changer unit. Press the button (2) to eject the magazine. Insert the magazine (3) in the direction of the arrow marked on the magazine casing and push it fully into the changer. Finally, close the sliding cover. If the audio system is operating when the magazine is inserted, ‘CD CHECK’ is displayed while the autochanger checks the loaded CDs. Loading & unloading the magazine Holding the magazine as shown (arrow on magazine casing uppermost), remove each CD tray in turn. Place a disc (label side uppermost) onto each tray - holding ONLY the outside edge and centre hole of the disc. Load only one disc in each tray. Correctly align the tray with the parallel slots on each side of the magazine and slide the tray into the magazine. NOTE: If a CD is inserted the wrong way up, or a faulty disc is inserted, ‘NO DISC’ will be displayed on the audio unit. ICE0096231 ICE0097A 3 ICE0043
15 CD Changer Unit To unload the magazine, hold the magazine with the arrow uppermost, pull out each tray in turn, holding the tray securely so as not to drop the disc. Unload one disc at a time and handle only the edge and centre of the disc. Important: •Use standard 12cm CDs only. • DO NOT use irregularly shaped or damaged CDs - these may damage the compact disc changer. • 8cm CD singles must NOT be used, even if a CD adaptor is fitted. • Closed session CD-R discs can be played, but CD-RW discs will not operate with the CD autochanger. • The CD autochanger should not be used in temperatures outside the range -10 °C to +60 °C. NOTE: If the CD autochanger reaches temperatures higher than recommended for normal use, ‘CD HIGH TEMP ’ appears in the audio unit display. If this occurs, stop using the CD player, eject the magazine and allow the autochanger to cool down. If the problem persists, consult your dealer. • The CD autochanger should only be used as described - any other application or method of use could result in the user being exposed to invisible laser radiation exceeding the limit of laser class 1. NOTE: Additional magazines can be obtained from a Land Rover dealer.CD autochanger maintenance I n u se, t h e las er l ens of t h e CD au to ch ang er may accumulate dirt and dust. This will gradually impair sound reproduction and, in extreme cases, may cause slipping and mistracking. To combat this, periodically use a CD lens cleaning disc.
Caring for Compact Discs 16 Caring for Co mpac t Discs CARING FOR COMPACT DISCS Dirt, dust, condensation and heat can damage discs. Always observe the following precautions: NEVER touch the horizontal playing surface (the unlabelled side) of a disc! Handle discs by holding the outer edges, or the edge of the central hole and the outer edge, between finger and thumb. ALWAYS return discs to their boxes after use (dirt detracts from the sound quality).NEVER leave the disc or the box exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight! NEVER use a solvent or abrasive cleaner! Dust or dirt should be removed from the playing surface by wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth always wipe in a straight line from the centre to the edge of the disc! If minor scratches on the surface of the compact disc cause skipping or mistracking, use CD restorer polish to remove the scratches and improve the performance of the disc. When using CD restorer polish, always follow the manufacturers instructions. ICE 0022 SOLVENT CLEANER
17 Security Code S ec urity C odeSECURITY CODE INFORMATION To reduce the risk of theft, your audio unit was programmed with a four digit security code before the vehicle left the factory. Once activated, this code prevents the unit from functioning if it is illegally removed from the vehicle. There are 10,000 different codes - making your audio unit valueless to a thief unless he has the correct one. In addition, each unit is further protected by a time delay penalty system that effectively defies even the most systematic attempt to break the code. NOTE: If an incorrect code is entered, a one minute time delay is imposed before a second code can be attempted. Each time a wrong code is entered, the time delay doubles (2 min, 4 min, 8 min, etc.) making theft a very unattractive proposition. Your vehicle was supplied with a Security Information card. This card contains a record of the four digit security code, as well as the audio units unique serial number. The serial number is also stamped into the metal side of the unit and, in the event of theft, would confirm proof of ownership. NOTE: A spare Security Information card is supplied inside the back cover of the Service Portfolio in the literature pack. For further information on the Security Information card, consult the Owners Handbook.It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep a safe record of the security code and heed the following advice: •NEVER keep a record of the security code in the vehicle. •If you lose your code number, contact a Land Rover dealer, who will be able to obtain this information for you.
