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

Special features of your deviceYour SCD 3490 employs two anti-theft systems: coding and thedetachable control unit.

Your device’s Identity Card contains its type, serial number andcode number for the coding function. The serial number is alsostamped on the device frame.If the device is lost or stolen, the Identity Card helps the police intheir investigations and provides proof of ownership for insuranceclaims.

Note:Always keep the Identity Card somewhere where only you haveaccess to it.

If you lose the Identity Card with the code number, the codingcan only be deactivated by an authorised dealer, who willdemand proof of ownership and charge a fee.

Attach the Code sticker to the windscreen so that it is clearly visiblethat the device has no value to thieves.

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

1 Fit the mounting frame b in the radio recess a of the vehicle(Fig. 1) (The illustrations are on page 31).

2 Bend the catch flaps c behind the radio recess a inwards or out-wards as necessary depending on the type of vehicle (Fig. 1).

3 Push the device into the fitted mounting frame b as far as it willgo. The device latches in.

Note:The device is very powerful, which means that it heats upconsiderably during operation. You must therefore make surethat no cables or other parts touch the device. If the insulationmelts it could cause a short circuit or even a fire!

4 To pull out the device insert the two removal hooks d into theopening in the front panel and push them in as far as they willgo (Fig. 5).

5 Push both hooks outwards and slowly pull out the device(Fig. 5).

The device is designed for antennas with 75 Ω to 150 Ωimpedance. Extended antenna cables, for example for rearmounting, can impair reception. If necessary use an antennaadapter (Fig. 2).

1 Fix the antenna adapter or cable in the plastic holder (Figs. 2and 3).

FuseA 10 A/DIN 72 581 flat fuse is inserted in the device (Fig. 4).

Power supplyFlat pin connectors A (Fig. 4, page 31):

A 8 Ground connection (minimum cross-section 2.5 mm2 forpositive and ground connection). Connect to terminal 31(Ground) of the vehicle.

A 7 +12 V operating voltage connection (minimum cross-section2.5 mm2 for positive and ground connection). Connect toterminal 30 (continuous positive) of the vehicle.

A 6 Connection for instrument lighting. Is connected to A 6terminal 58 of the vehicle to enable the device illuminationto be controlled together the instrument lights of the vehicle.

A 5 +12 V switching voltage output (max. 0.5 A). When thedevice is on, the switching voltage is on flat pin contact A 5and serves to extend and retract the antenna, provides anoperating voltage for the antenna amplifier, etc.

A 4 Connection for +12 V ignition voltage. Connect toterminal 15 of the vehicle if you want the device to switch onand off with the ignition.

Note:You do not have to connect A 4. In this case the radio mustalways be switched on and off using the »IO« button, and swit-ches off automatically one hour after the ignition is switched off.

A 2 Phone Mute connection. If you are using a connected carphone, the device is muted and ”PHONE” appears in thedisplay. See also page 24 in the ”EXPERT level” section.

Note:A 2 must be grounded from the Mute output of the carphone/radio phone.

Radio reception conditionsReception conditions in the VHF range change all the time during ajourney. Mountains, buildings or bridges can impair reception. Thisis especially true when the station is very distant.

Radio Data System (RDS)RDS is an information system for which most VHF stations transmitadditional signals. With RDS stations, the name of the stationappears as an abbreviation in the display, for example»ANTENNE«. RDS stations are broadcast by several transmitters atdifferent frequencies (alternative frequencies). If an RDS station isselected the device automatically switches to the alternativefrequency with the best reception, provided one is available.

Enhanced Other Network (EON)The EON function allows you to hear traffic news, even when youare listening to another RDS station which does not broadcast itsown traffic news. However, this only works if the RDS broadcasteryou are listening to also provides another RDS station with trafficnews. Standby mode for radio traffic news (TP) must also beactivated.

CleaningOnly use a soft, anti-static duster to clean the front panel of thedevice. Polish and cleaning agents can damage the surface of thepanel.
