Please keep in mind that you travel a distance of 15 yards per second at a speed of only 30 mph.

Should the traffic situation become

particularly demanding, we advise you not

to use the radio.

Always make sure that you are still able to

hear any warning signals coming from

outside the vehicle, such as police or fire

engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly. Consequently, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car radio while you are driving.

Installation

If you would like to install your new car radio

yourself or add other audio components to

existing ones, please read the enclosed

instructions on installation and connection carefully. In order to ensure that the unit operates properly the positive power supply line must be connected via the ignition and the permanent +I 2 V lead. Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

before you begin. You’ll be glad you did!

If you’re not confident that you can install the receiver correctly, have it installed by a qualified

Blaupunkt installation technician. Use this receiver only with negative ground A quick-acting

During operation of the receiver, the receiver’s sidewall may heat up considerably. Be sure to

keep all wires away from hot parts of the housing.

Do not damage the vehicle’s battery, wiring or fuse box. Before drilling holes, look to see what is on the other side!

Be sure to observe the safety notes of the vehicle manufacturer, such as those for

systems, on-board computers, immobilisers, and braking systems, etc. We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the receiver.

Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions below.

Don’t assume that a seemingly-matching wire harness in the vehicle matches the receiver’s wire harness wire-for-wire. Make sure before you connect anything!

Your Blaupunkt dealer may be able to sell you adapter harnesses for your vehicle, which can

make connections much easier. Modification of this receiver or its mis-connection and/or mis-installation will void its warranty.

that no fuses have blown.

Test the Connections

To help prevent possible electrical damage from accidental

misconnection

of the receiver, first attach your vehicle’s antenna. (With Florida RD 168, Nevada RDM 168 and Alaska RDM 168 only: if necessary, attach the antenna “elbow” connector and affixing bracket to the back of the receiver.)

Be sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect the receiver.

Plug the harness into the receiver.

Verify that the receiver’s and vehicle’s fuses haven’t blown. Attach the faceplate and test the receiver.

Once the connections have been successfully made, you can begin the INSTALLATION. (See below.)

SPEAKER 81 AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS

The receiver’s Dual-Level Fader allows you to fade between the front and the rear channels using the receiver’s internally-amplified output via front and/or rear speaker leads AND/OR its 4-channel preamp output, providing tremendous flexibility in configuring your audio system arrangement:

You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axial or tri-axial speakers or component speaker system,

all hereafter referred to simply as “speaker”) to each of the receivers’ four pairs of speaker leads.

With the Blaupunkt preamp output adapter 7 607 893 093 (available separately], you can provide

4-channel preamp output to additional external amplifiers and power multiple speakers or

speaker systems through those amplifiers. (Blaupunkt amplifiers and speakers available

separately).

You can use either or both of these two methods.

Connecting Speakers to the Outputs from the Receiver’s Internal Amplifier To prevent short circuits or serious damage to the receiver and/or speakers:

Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.

Connect the speaker leads only as indicated on the speaker wire block. (See Fig. 6)

Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling capabilities greater than the receiver’s stated power level.

The receiver’s internal amplifier is designed to handle a 4-ohm load on each pair of speaker leads.

DON’T connect two speakers to a single pair of speaker leads (“in parallel”) unless both speakers each have at least 8 ohms impedance.

DON’T connect the left and right speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.

DON’T connect the front and rear speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.

DON’T connect the negative speaker leads to each other.

DON’T connect the positive speaker leads to each other.

DON’T connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker leads unless their

owner’s manuals specifically state that this is O.K.

Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching the

vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage to the receiver or vehicle.

Make the other electrical connections. (See previous page.)

GB3

Connecting Additional Amplifiers or an Equalizer to the Receiver’s Preamp Output

Obtain the Blaupunkt RCA 4-channel preamp output adapter 7 607 893 093 from your dealer.

It includes a blue/white trigger lead for switching the amplifier on and off. Connect the adapter into the top left section of the connector block on the back of the receiver. (See Fig. 7) Follow the amplifier’s or equalizer’s instructions regarding connection. (Blaupunkt amplifiers available separately).

If a changer is not connected, you can connect portable audio equipment to your receiver by

purchasing Blaupunkt accessory harness 7 607 897 093. It connects to the right top block on the rear

of the receiver. It includes a 2-meter aux-in cable with a 3.5 mm male plug for direct insert into your

portable equipment.

WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL

(Colorado CM 168, Nevada RDM 168, & Alaska RDM 168 only)

This receiver’s most-frequently used features can be conveniently controlled from the steering

wheel with Blaupunkt’s unique Thummer III Steering-Wheel Remote Control.

(Availableseparately.)

The Thummer III includes a receiving “eye” that can be placed virtually anywhere on the dash, which

connects into the center top block on the back of the receiver.

the area of the tab fasteners.

(See Fig. 1)

Place the mounting bracket in the compartment and bend over all of the tabs possible. (See Fig. 2)

Your vehicle may also allow you to provide extra stability at the back of the receiver. Look at the wall behind the radio cavity to see if there is a small hole the size of the enclosed plastic plug, If so, screw it onto the treaded bold at the back of the receiver before pushing it into the mounting bracket.

With the detachable face off, place the receiver into the mounting bracket and push it in until the side springs snap into position on the left and right. (You will hear an audible click.)

MAINTENANCE Removing the Receiver

Insert the “release handles” into the holes in the panel on the left and right of the receiver and push them in until you hear a distinct snap, which indicates the side springs are unlocked. Pull the unit out using both handles. (See Fig. 3) Note: Handles that have snapped into place can only be removed after you have pulled the receiver out of the complement. Remember where you store the “release handles”.

Fig. 3

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one with the correct amperage, which will be stated on the fuse case. Never use a fuse that has a stated amperage exceeding the one supplied for this receiver as this could cause malfunction and serious damage to the receiver.

GB6

Cleaning the Connectors

The receiver may not operate properly if the connectors between the receiver and the detachable face are contaminated with dirt. To clean the connectors, use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher). Be sure to clean them with a vertical motion. Never clean them horizontally, because this could damage the contact points.

Affixing the Detachable Face for Retail Display

The detachable face can be affixed to the receiver’s chassis, which is desirable for a retail display. To affix the face, obtain the small self-tapping screw from the hardware pack and drive it into the upper hole at the front left side of the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver. The bolt will self-thread the hole. (See Fig. 8)
