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: Before detaching the face, be sure to press the PWR Button first. Then 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. This should only be done in situations where the

untt

can be accessed from behind the mounting

suriace.

Once the faceplate is afflxed. the release keys cannot be used to remove the chassis. To affix faceplate, obtain the small bolt (M2.6 x 10) from hardware pack and drive it into the upper hole at the front of the left side of the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver. The bolt will self-thread the hole. (See above’)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION

dl~?#&‘zO!

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. You’ll

be glad you did! GENERAL

RECOMMENDATfONS

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).

sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect or install the unit.

If you use the unit’s connector with or without an adapter, make sure that function of the leads (wires) of the connector match the function of the leads in the mating connectors!

If your vehicle’s radio wire harness is not compatible with this unit’s harness connector, you can either a. buy an adapter harness at a car audio store -or- b. cut off the unit’s

connector and use a different type of connection.

We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the unit.

Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions and diagram below unless the speaker’s or amplifier’s manual states that this is O.K.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS - ff vou cannot use

the unit’s connector with or

without an

adapter.

2. 3

5. 6

Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative

terminal

before making connections. Connect speakers following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below. Connect the black (power ground) lead to a grounded metal

part

on the vehicle. We recommend grounding all audio system black ground leads (head unit, CD changer, etc.) to a

common

groundrng

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 shod-circuit and damage to the radio or vehicle. Reconnect the vehicle’s battery. Verifv that no fuses have blown,
