Important notes

Precautions

Before starting to use 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.
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 of the vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accord­ingly.
Therefore, 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 ster­eo yourself or add other audio components
to existing ones, then please read carefully
the enclosed instructions on installation and
connection.
In order to ensure that the set operates prop­erly it is necessary that the positive power
supply line is connected via the ignition and
the permanent +12 V lead.
Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

Telephone mute

If you have a mobile telephone installed in
your vehicle, radio or CD playback can be
muted automatically when using the phone
(telephone mute).
“PHONE” will then appear in the display.
When TA is active, traffic messages will al­ways have priority. The announcement will
be aborted by pressing the TIM button.

Sub Out

Subwoofer pre-amp output for connection
of an amplifier.
Please refer to the installation instructions
for more information.

approved by Blaupunkt.
