Automatic Antenna
The antenna switch can be actuated
with the radio switched on and the
key in steering lock positions "1"
or "2".
• If the antenna switch is in the
center position, the antenna
extends automatically to medium
height,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the "max." position, the anten­
na extends fully,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the "off" position, the antenna
will not extend or will retract
completely.
The height of the antenna can be
adjusted to any intermediate posi­
tion by actuating the antenna
switch:
• If the antenna switch is in the
center position, the antenna will
extend to medium height. The
antenna can be further extended
or retracted to any height by
rocking the switch (not engaging
it).
• If the antenna is to be retracted,
e.g. for playing cassettes,
engage switch in "off" position.
When the key is turned to steering
lock position "0" or the radio is
turned off, the antenna will retract
completely.
