What you really have to read

Before you operate your new car radio, plea­se read 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 14 m per second at a speed of only
50 km/h.
Do not adjust your radio in difficult driving
conditions that demand your full attention.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from outsi­de of the vehicle, such as police or fire engine
sirens, so that you can react accordingly.

Installation/connection

In order to ensure that the set functions
properly it is necessary that the positive po­wer supply line is connected to the ignition
and the permanent +12 V connector of the
car radio.
If you would like to install your new car radio
by yourself or add other audio components to

the existing ones, then please read carefully
the enclosed instructions on installation and
connection.
Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to
ground!
Use only the accessory and replacement
parts approved by Blaupunkt.

Optical indication of theft protection

When the car is stationary, you can let the
KeyCard tongue flash in order to indicate that
the set is equipped with security coding. Use
DSC to select one of two settings: LED ON or
LED OFF.
For more information, please read through
chapter “DSC programming - LED ON/OFF”.
