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 15 yards per second at a speed of only 30 miles per hour. 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 ster-

eo 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 Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

KeyCard

The Blaupunkt KeyCard Security System provides an effective and convenient means of theft deterrence. Each unit operates only when

it’s own card

use. It’s that simple. The units flashing tongue and security sys-

tem window stickers emphasize that point to the potential thief. No bulky release panel to put in your pocket - under your seat where thieves know to look for it. Just re-

move the card and put in your wallet or pock-

et. It’s that convenient. This unit is supplied with two Keycards, a

blue “main” card and “screamer” card. The difference: the warrenty/serial number (the “radio pass data”) has been embedded into the main card in case you ever need it.

In addition to convenient security, each card

has a personal memory bank for the FM1

and AMT band presets, bass, treble, bal-

ance, fader and DSC settings. The benefit: two drivers, such as a husband and wife,

can store separate settings to their individ-

ual likings on their separate cards.
