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, tape or changer 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.
Accessories
Use only the accessories and spare parts
approved by Blaupunkt.
You can use the following Blaupunkt products with this car stereo:
Changer
CDC A 05 or CDC F 05
Remote control
With the infrared remote control RC 05 you
can control all of the important functions of
your car hi-fi system from the steering wheel.
