Important notes

What you need to know

Before using your new car radio, please
read through the following information care­fully.

Traffic safety

As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic
situation at all times.
Never use your car radio in a way that could
distract you.
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 +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

Accessories

Use Blaupunkt-approved accessories and
spare parts only.

of the chassis (A). Gently push the left side
of the panel against the front of the chassis
until it snaps into place.

Affixing the detachable face
