Important notes

What you need to know

Before using your new car audio system, 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 audio system 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.

Should the traffic situation become particularly demanding, we advise you not to use the audio system.

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 audio system while you are driving.

Installation

If you would like to install your new car stereo yourself or add other audio components to existing ones, then please read the enclosed instructions on installation and connection carefully.

Telephone mute

If a car phone has been installed, it is possible to mute radio, cassette and CD playback automatically during a telephone call (telephone mute). “PHONE” will then appear in the display.

Traffic announcements continue to have priority if you have activated TA. You can interrupt traffic messages by pressing TA.

Accessories

Use only Blaupunkt-approved accessories and spare parts. You can use the following Blaupunkt products with this unit:

RC 08 remote control unit

The RC 08 infrared remote control unit allows you to conveniently operate the most important functions from the steering wheel. This remote control unit is included with the Chicago RCM 169 and can be ordered optionally for the other units.

Amplifiers

All Blaupunkt amplifiers

CD changers

The following CD changers can be connected directly: CDC A 06, A 072, A 08. The A 05 and the A 071 can be connected with the adapter cable 7 607 889 093. The CDC-A 08 is included with the Hannover 2000 DJ / Kansas DJ.

Guarantee

The scope of the guarantee is determined by the laws in the country where the unit was purchased. Regardless of the legal guarantee regulations, Blaupunkt affords a 12-month guarantee. If you have any questions about the guarantee, please contact your dealer. Your cash register receipt is a valid guarantee coupon.

International telephone information

Have you got any questions on the operation of this equipment or do you require more information? Give us a call! You will find the international telephone and fax number on the last page of this manual.

KeyCard theft protection system

This car radio comes equipped with one KeyCard, but it can also be operated with a second card.

If you have lost your KeyCard or if it was damaged, you can buy a new one from your specialised dealer.

If you use two KeyCards, the settings stored on the first card will be transmitted to the second. However, you can individually store the following functions:

Preset button assignments, bass, treble, balance and fader settings, Loudness, TA (traffic announcement volume), beep volume, LOW-EQ, HIGH-EQ.

In addition, the settings activated before the radio is switched off, such as the waveband, station, TA priority, AF, REG ON/OFF, SCANTIME, seek tuning sensitivity, ON VOL and SHARX will also remained stored.

This ensures that you will find your basic settings re-adjusted automatically as soon as you have inserted your KeyCard.

Putting the unit into operation

• Turn on the set with ON. To insert the KeyCard, unlock the operating

panel by

• pressing 1, the operating panel will fold down.

The car radio is now ready for operation. If a wrong KeyCard is inserted, then “CARD

ERR” will appear in the display. The system will switch off after approximate-

ly ten seconds. If another card type is inserted (e.g. phone

or credit card), the display will show “WRONG KC” for approximately two seconds.

• Press ON to turn on the set.

Removing the KeyCard

To unlock the operating panel:

• Press 1, the operating panel will fold down forwards.

• Push the card in to the right as far as possible and remove it to the front.

• Push the operating panel back into position.

For safety’s sake, the operating panel must remain locked when the vehicle is in motion. When you leave the vehicle, unlock the panel and remove the KeyCard to protect the equipment against theft.
