INTRODUCTION
The DAB2000 is a vehicle audio adaptor that offers a flexible and cost effective
way to apply modern digital audio technology to your existing analogue vehicle
audio system.
The existing analogue system in your vehicle can be easily upgraded to receive
DAB/DAB
+
digital radio services. DAB2000 uses an FM-RDS micro-transmitter
and no complex cabling to connect to your vehicle’s audio system. The
DAB2000 receiver is operated using a remote control , while all messages
related to th e DAB2000’s operations, such as servi ce name, memory preset,
etc., are converted to RDS text and displayed on the LCD screen of your vehicle
audio system. The flexible configuration options of the DAB2000 make it easy to
install in different vehicle makes and models.
Furthermore, DAB2000 has an AFC (Automatic Frequency Change) function
that allows you to listen to your favourite DAB programs through your vehicle
radio system without the need to change the FM frequency manually when you
drive into a metropolitan area where FM stations are highly concentrated.
Without AFC, the manual frequency change can be hazardous and inconvenient,
as the driver will have to find an unused FM frequency by manually retuning the
vehicle radio, then changing the FM transmitter to use the same unused
frequency, and repeat this process each time the FM transmitter frequency is
subjected to interference by another FM radio station.
Consult your vehicle radio manual or contact the vehicle dealer to determine if
your vehicle radio has an AF (alternative frequency) function, and how to enable
the AF function before using the AFC function on the DAB2000.
If your vehicle’s radio does not have the AF function, you can use the DAB2000’s
‘auto scan’ function to scan automatically for three unused FM frequencies; you
will need to choose a frequency from the scanned frequencies to set and
synchronize between the vehicle’s radio and the DAB2000 manually.
Alternatively, you can use the DAB2000 to set a new FM transmitting frequency
manually or to set a frequency from one of the FM transmitting frequency
presets, which have been previously saved, and then set the vehicle’s radio FM
frequency to match.
Note:
The DAB2000 needs to operate with an RDS vehicle radio to display the
relevant system message from the DAB2000 via the vehicle radio
display.
