Traffic Safety and Precautions
Do not adjust your unit in difficult driving conditions that demand your full attention.
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to pay attention to the traffic situation at all
times. Never use your unit in a way that could distract you.
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.
If your vehicle was parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in temperature inside
the vehicle, allow the unit to cool off before operating your unit.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could
void your warranty.
Before any jump startings, disconnect all wire harnesses from rear of unit.
Car Wash precaution - If you have a motorized antenna, make sure to turn off the unit - not just
the tuner
-
so that the antenna is lowered and antenna damage is prevented!

Detachable Face
.
Detaching & Attaching the Face:
The face of this unit can be detached and taken with you to prevent it from being stolen.
Detaching the Face:
Press the REL (Release) Button and detach the face by gently pulling it off as illustrated.
Note: Do not pull it straight out from the chassis. Be sure not to drop the face when detaching it
from the chassis.
Attaching the Face:
Apply the right hand side of the face to the chassis by sliding (part B) of the face to (part A) at the
front of the chassis. Gently push the left side of the face against the front of the chassis until it
snaps into place.
Note: Make sure that the face is inserted right side up. Do not press against the display window. Do
not press hard against the face when attaching it to the chassis, it may be easily attached with
gentle pressure. Do not expose the face to direct sunlight, heat sources such as hot air ducts or
leave it in a humid place. Never leave it on the dash board of a vehicle parked in direct sunlight,
where there may be a considerable rise in temperature inside the vehicle.
Affixing Faceplate For Retail Display:
The faceplate can be affixed to the unit’s chassis, which is desirable for a
retail
display, for example.
To affix the faceplate
Insert the black bolt into the hole at the left front of the top of the radio. See* below.

Electrical Connections and Installation
@/<?#&*>@I!
To avoid the aggravation of costly mistakes and serious damage that could make you
feel this way, please carefully read all of the instructions before you begin. Carefully follow all
instructions. You’ll be glad you did!
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
If you’re not confident that you can install the unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified
Blaupunkt installation technician.
Use this unit only with negative ground 12 Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC).
Be sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect or install the unit.
Don’t assume that a seemingly matching wire harness in the vehicle has leads that match the
leads of the unit’s wire hareness.
We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the unit. Connect
the leads (wires) according to instructions and diagram below.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.
2.
Connect the speakers following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below.
3.
Connect the blue (trigger output) lead to the antenna motor trigger switch input terminal
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
The total amperage required of the blue lead must not exceed 300
mA.
DO NOT connect the blue lead to the antenna’s power supply input.
Connect the black (power ground) lead to a grounded metal part on the vehicle. We
recommend grounding all audio system black ground leads (receiver, RF CD Changer, etc.) to
a common grounding point, preferably a non-painted surface under the instrument panel.
Connect the yellow (constant power) input lead to a source of constant battery power,
preferably a terminal to an appropriate slot in the fuse box.
Connect the red (turn-on power) input lead only after the other leads are connected. Be sure to
connect the red lead to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only when the
ignition key is set to the on position or accessory position.
Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching
the vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage to the radio or vehicle.
Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.
Verify that no fuses have blown.
10. Plug the harness
into
the unit.
11. Attach the faceplate and test the unit.
Once the connections have been successfully made, you can begin to mount the unit.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
l You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axial or tri-axial speakers or component speaker system,
all hereafter referred to simply as “speaker”) to each of the units’ four pairs of speaker leads.
Connecting the Speaker Leads
To’prevent short circuits or serious damage to the receiver and/or speakers:
Connect the speaker leads only as indicated in the wiring diagram. Disconnect the vehicle
battery’s negative terminal before making connections.
Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling
capabilities greater than the receiver’s stated power level.
The unit’s internal amplifier is designed to handle a
4-ohm
load on each pair of speaker leads.
DON’T connect two speakers to a single pair of speaker leads (“in parallel”) unless both speakers
each have at least 8 ohms impedance.
DON’T connect the left and right speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
DON’T connect the front and rear speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
DON’T connect the negative speaker leads to each other.
DON’T connect the positive speaker leads to each other.
DON’T connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker leads unless their
owner’s manuals specifically state that this is O.K.
l Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching the
vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage to the receiver or vehicle.

Installation
Recommendations
Carefully choose the mounting location so that the unit won’t interfere with normal driving.
Avoid mounting locations where the unit would be subject to high temperatures, such as from direct
sunlight or hot air from the heater, or where it would subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration.
The illustration below shows a typical installation, however, you may need to adjust the
installation, depending on the unit. If you have questions or need additional installation hardware,
consult your Blaupunkt dealer.
Make sure the unit is firmly anchored (preferably at both front and back) and does not vibrate.
