SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Instructions

When carrying out installation work
and making connections please
observe the following safety
instructions:

- Electronic vehicle systems may fail
if they are incorrectly installed or ser­viced.

- Disconnect the negative terminal of
the battery! When doing so, please
observe the vehicle manufacturer’s
safety instructions.

- Make sure you do not damage ve­hicle components when drilling any
holes.

- Depending on the model, your ve­hicle may differ from the description
provided here. We accept no respon­sibility for any damages due to in­correct installation or connection or
for any consequential damages.

If the information provided here is not
suitable for your specific installation re­quirements, please contact your
Blaupunkt dealer, your vehicle manu­facturer or our telephone hotline.

Tips for Safe Operation

- This CD changer is designed only for
operation in negatively grounded,
+12 V DC systems. This device can­not be used in +24 V or positively
grounded systems.

- This equipment may not function
properly at extremely high or low
temperatures. This device is
equipped with a built-in automatic
protection circuit. If the temperature
reaches a pre-set value, the auto­matic protection circuit will shut down
the entire device. If this happens,
open a window and let the car cool
down.

Condensation

On rainy, damp days or just after turning
on the car heater, water vapour may
condense on the laser lens of the CD
changer. If this happens, the equipment
will not function properly . To counteract
this, remove the magazine from the
device and wait for approximately one
hour. During this time, the water vapour
will evaporate, after which the
equipment will function normally again.

Remove the magazine from the CD
changer at temperatures above 60° C
if it is not in use, or before long periods
of disuse at any temperature.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT

Before Installing the
Equipment

Transport Locking Screws

The mechanism in the CD changer is
“locked” by the transport screws during
shipping. Make
certain to remove these screws before
installing the changer.

Note:

After removing the transport locking
screws, place the enclosed seals over
the screw holes. These seals prevent
dust from entering the device, which
could lead to malfunctions.

Precautions for Installation and
Wiring

1. Do not install the equipment in the
following locations:

- Locations that are exposed to di-

rect sunlight.

- Locations at which warm air exits

the car heating system.

- Locations in which proper instal-

lation is impossible and locations
in which many vibrations are pro­duced.

2. - Make certain to use the brackets

and screws supplied.

- When installing the equipment, do

not use any screws that are part
of the braking or steering systems.

3. The device may only be installed in
the approved manner (on one of its
sides, on one of its ends, at an angle
of 45°, or suspended. If it is installed
upside-down or with the front facing
down, malfunctions may occur.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT

Position of the Built-in Anti­Vibration Armature

This device can be installed horizontally
(suspended), vertically , or at a 45° ang­le. Once you have chosen an installation
procedure, you have to set the position
of the built-in anti-vibration armature
accordingly. Please do this before
carrying out the procedures explained
below. Vibration may cause CDs to skip
if the equipment is used before the anti­vibration system has been configured
correctly.

- The anti-vibration armature is set to
“0” (for horizontal installation) at the
factory before shipping.

- The built-in anti-vibration armature
adjusts on both the left and right
sides.

- Before attaching the brackets, use a
screwdriver to set the position of the
anti-vibration armature.

For horizontal or suspended instal­lation:

Make certain that the built-in anti-vibra­tion armature is set to the “0” position.

HANDLING CDS

Handling CDs

New CDs

The following symptoms often occur
when using new CDs:

- The CD does not play evenly after

Centre

hole

.

Bur

Outer
circum­ference

being inserted

- The changer changes to the next CD
before it has finished playing the first
CD.

- The changer plays the same CD over
and over again.

- The system will not play a specific
CD.

Bur

Remove from the CD surface all plastic
particles from burs before inserting the
CD in the magazine.

These symptoms occur when there are
burs on the CD in the centre hole or
along the outer circumference of the CD
and, as a result, the CD is not drawn
into the changer properly or sticks
somewhat inside the magazine. If these

things happen, use a pen or a similar
object to remove the burs as shown in
the figure at right.

Note:

Although there are protective films mar­keted as CD accessories, use of these
products leads to malfunctions and
should be strictly avoided.

Dirt, dust, scratches, and deformations
cause skipping and diminished sound
quality during playback. Here are some
tips on how to take care of your CDs:

1. Use CDs that bear the following sym­bol.

2. Use a soft cloth to wipe away finger­prints and dust from the playable
(shiny) side of the CD. Unlike pho­nograph records, CDs have no
grooves to collect dust and small
particles. Thus gentle wiping is usu­ally sufficient to remove most par­ticles. Wipe from the centre of the
CD straight outwards. Small dust
particles and spots do not affect play­back quality .

3. Never use chemicals such as record
cleaner, anti-static spray or fluid, ben­zene or paint thinner to clean your
CDs. Use of these chemicals will lead
to irreparable damage to the plastic
surface of the CD.

HANDLING CDS

PARTS USED IN

INSTALLATION

4. After use, return the CDs to their pro­tective cases to avoid major
scratches that can lead to skipping
on playback.

5. Never store CDs where they are ex­posed to direct sunlight, high humid­ity, or high temperatures over long
periods. CDs may warp if exposed
to high temperatures over long peri­ods.

6. The playable side of the CD should
not be pasted with paper or marked
with a ballpoint pen.
