GRUNDIG has used no plastics for the packaging of your device. The packaging consists entirely of cardboard or paper and can be disposed of for waste paper recycling.

Special features of your device

Your SCD 3490 employs two anti-theft systems: coding and the detachable control unit.

Model Type Serial No. Code No.

Die Identity Card dient als Eigentumsnachweis mit individuellem Sicherheitscode und erleichtert bei Verlust des Gertes die Schadensabwicklung. Vor fremdem Zugriff schtzen. The identity card serves as evidence of ownership with individual security code and facilitates the settlement in the case of theft of the unit. Keep the document safe.

Your devices Identity Card contains its type, serial number and code number for the coding function. The serial number is also stamped on the device frame. If the device is lost or stolen, the Identity Card helps the police in their investigations and provides proof of ownership for insurance claims. Note: Always keep the Identity Card somewhere where only you have access to it.

DOUBLE SECURITY SYSTEM

CODE

If you lose the Identity Card with the code number, the coding can only be deactivated by an authorised dealer, who will demand proof of ownership and charge a fee. Attach the Code sticker to the windscreen so that it is clearly visible that the device has no value to thieves.

Coding
If the device is coded and then disconnected from the car battery (or from the continuous positive terminal 30) it is electronically secure.

CAR AUDIO SCD 3490 RDS ________________________

Only you can switch the device on again by entering the code number. For instructions see the Coding section starting on page 25.

Detaching and attaching the control unit

In addition to coding you can also detach the control unit. This makes the device useless for thieves. If you detach the control unit while the device is on, it switches itself off. Hold the control unit and press the symbol above the words SECURITY PANEL. This releases the control unit so that it can be detached. Always keep the control unit in its case when it is detached. If you lose the control unit it can be replaced for a fee on production of proof of ownership, such as the Identity Card. Please contact your specialist dealer. To use the device again push the control unit into its recess until it latches in.

Security LED

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS______________________
Fitting the device
We recommend that you have your device fitted by a specialist in order to guarantee trouble-free operation. Installation instructions can be found starting on page 29.

Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various functions of the device before you use it while driving. Excessive volume can be dangerous to yourself and other road users. Therefore set the volume so that you can still hear outside noises such as car horns and police sirens. Set the volume using the VOLUME knob. Traffic announcements may be considerably louder than normal playback. See also page 24 in the EXPERT level section. Multimedia CDs not only contain audio tracks but also data tracks. If, despite the warning instructions, you play one of these CDs, it may produce noises at a traffic-endangering volume. It can also damage the amplifier and the loudspeakers.

Laser
On the underside of your device there is a plate marked CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT. This means that the laser is designed in such a way as to ensure that the maximum permissible emission value cannot be exceeded under any circumstances.

INFORMATION_____________________________________
Radio reception conditions
Reception conditions in the VHF range change all the time during a journey. Mountains, buildings or bridges can impair reception. This is especially true when the station is very distant.

Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS is an information system for which most VHF stations transmit additional signals. With RDS stations, the name of the station appears as an abbreviation in the display, for example ANTENNE. RDS stations are broadcast by several transmitters at different frequencies (alternative frequencies). If an RDS station is selected the device automatically switches to the alternative frequency with the best reception, provided one is available.

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

The EON function allows you to hear traffic news, even when you are listening to another RDS station which does not broadcast its own traffic news. However, this only works if the RDS broadcaster you are listening to also provides another RDS station with traffic news. Standby mode for radio traffic news (TP) must also be activated.

Cleaning
Only use a soft, anti-static duster to clean the front panel of the device. Polish and cleaning agents can damage the surface of the panel.
