ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION

@k?#&‘>@!

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).

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 units

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

Connect speakers following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below. Connect the black (power ground) 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,
