Integrated Fuse

The integrated fuse in the device protects the output
voltage and the entire electrical system in case of
malfunction. Do not replace damaged fuse with higher
current.

Switching On/O

This device will automatically turn on if a music signal is
detected. The device will also automatically turn o if no
music signal is received.

Remote Control

Recycling and Disposal

Please dispose responsibly.
Subject to change.

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Refer to the safety notes of vehicle manufacturer.
Ensure positions of the holes are nowhere near the
vehicle component to avoid any damage during
drilling.
Ensure cross section of the cable is no less than

2.5mm2 if the positive and negative cables are too
long.
Incorrect installation may result in malfunction of
the device or the car sound system.

The amplier is designed to use 4-8 AWG power and
ground cable.
Select a dry and well-ventilated location
to install the device.
The device must not be installed in overly
exposed location such on the rear shelf,
rear seat etc.
The installation location must be suitable for
screw holes and have stable ground support.
Ensure to connect the ground wire of the unit
properly the vehicle chassis.
Ensure to use leads that is larger than 10-gauge
(AWG 10) when connecting to +12V and GND
terminals.
Connect the +12V power input lead only when the
rest of the connections has been properly set.

CAUTIONS

Proper system planning is vital in order to maximize the
device’s performance and road safety. Plan your
installation carefully to avoid compromising
performance reliability of the system. Consult an
authorized Blaupunkt dealer for installation or
reparation. Read the manual carefully before operating
the device for the rst time.

Disclaimer

•

•

Use the supplied power extension cable to connect
to the positive battery terminal.
Firmly and carefully connect the ground lead to a
bare metal point on the vehicle chassis.
The control of the device should be a two-channel
control, either via the preamplier outputs or the
loudspeaker, output of the car sound system.
A control solely via the right or left channel is also
possible since the low-frequency portion of the
music is generally identical on both channels.

Using a dual amplier conguration, the main unit amplier has total control over the sub-unit amplier. When using dual amplier to operate subwoofer, the

positive terminal of the subwoofer voice coil must be connected to the positive terminal of the main unit amplier and the negative terminal of the subwoofer

voice coil must be connected to the positive terminal of the sub-unit amplier. Dual amplier setup will release high output power, please ensure subwoofers are

capable of handling such output.

Speakers load cannot be lower than 2 ohms when conguring the dual amplier. Low impedance load may damage the device and void warranty.

Examine if your wiring diagram is correct by referring to Diagram 1 & Diagram 2 in case of device operation or
performance failure. The following table indicate other possible problems and solutions. Refer an authorized
Blaupunkt dealer if problem persist.

Solution
Examine if the ground connection is intact.
Examine if remote input has at least 5V DC.
Examine if battery power is connected correctly to the + terminal.
Ensure supplied voltage is minimum 12V.
Examine if fuse is broken and replace if necessary.
Restart the device if protection LED light is on.
Examine speaker wire had short-circuit.
Turn volume down from head unit to prevent overdriving the device.
Device might need service or repair, if protection LED light is still on after resetting the device.
Examine fuses and replace if necessary.
Examine ground connection is intact.
Examine if remote input has at least 5V DC.
Examine if RCA audio cables are connected to the right inputs.
Examine if speaker wiring is intact.
Reset Level Control
Examine the Crossover Control setting.
Observe if the device is still producing noise after turning on and o the amplier. If yes,
examine if the cables are correctly connected and if the cables and radio are in good condition.
Repair or replace if the cables or the radio are not in good condition.
Ensure RCA connections are properly connected.

Ensure input level of the device matches the signal level of the head unit.
Always set the input level to the lowest.
Examine if crossover frequency is set correctly.
Examine if speaker wire had short-circuit.
Examine the minimum speaker impedance for the amp models is correct.
Ensure good air ventilation around the device. Add external cooling fan if necessary.

Usually caused by poor RCA cable quality, which release noise. Use only the best quality cables
and route them away from power cables.

Examine if RCA cable are nowhere near or attached to the vehicle chassis.
Examine if head unit is properly connected to the wires.
