12 GENERAL Thank you for deciding to use a Blau- punkt product. We hope you enjoy us- ing this new piece of equipment. Please read these operating instruc- tions before using the equipment for the first time. The Blaupunkt editors are constantly working on making the operating in- structions clearer and easier to under- stand. However, if you still have any questions on how to operate the equip- ment, please contact your dealer or the telephone hotline for your country. You will find the hotline telephone numbers printed at the back of this booklet. We provide a manufacturer guarantee for our products bought within the Eu- ropean Union. You can view the guar- antee conditions at www.blaupunkt.de or ask for them di- rectly at: Blaupunkt GmbH Hotline CM/PSS 6 Robert Bosch Str. 200 D-31139 Hildesheim Germany Road s afet y Road safety has absolute prior- ity. Only operate your COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player if the road and traffic conditions allow you to do so. Familiarise yourself with the unit be- fore setting off on your journey. You should always be able to hear police, fire and ambulance sirens from afar. For this reason, set the volume of whatever you are listen- ing to to a reasonable level.The COMPACT DRIVE MP3 is an MP3 player that plays MP3 music files stored on the Microdrive-„¢ (hard disk). CF cards (storage media) are not re- cognized by the COMPACT DRIVE MP3. MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compress- ing CD audio data. Compression allows data to be reduced to around 15% of their original size without a noticeable loss in quality (at a bit rate of 192 Kbit/ s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert CD audio data to MP3, you can create smaller files but there will be a loss of quality. You can store MP3 files on the Microdrive-„¢ (hard disk) using the sup- plied SCM (write-/ read device). For fur- ther details, please read the chapter en- titled Write-/ read device. You can connect the COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player to many Blaupunkt car ra- dios. For further details, please read the chapter entitled Compatibility with Blau- punkt car radios.
