Installation guide6

6.1 Determination of required conﬁguration

Before installation of your EGO FL ASH, please note which features and connection options are provided by your car audio system. It is advantageous when your audio has the following: a muting function, phone input and line-in. You can ﬁnd out which of these input options your audio system has in the documentation provided.

6.1 .1 Ve hi cle

The EGO FLASH may only be installed in vehicles with 12 V, with the negative terminal connected to the chassis. If no car audio is installed, an add-on speaker will be required. For the installation of the optional charging cradle, you will require a model-speciﬁc mounting that may be purchased from a specialist dealer.

6.1.2 Mobile Telephone

A Bluetooth®-compatible telephone must be available for use with this system. You can ﬁnd a list of supported Bluetooth® telephones online at w ww.fwd-online.de.

6.1.3 Muting (radio muting)

The muting function (Radio Muting) ensures that the audio sound is turned off during telephone calls. The system supports the muting function. Your car`s audio documentation will show whether your car audio has a mute option. If your car audio is not equipped with a muting option, you can install the optionally available Stereo Mute Box to facilitate speaker muting.

6.1.4 Converting the EGO FLASH into an already-installed Funkwerk hands-free car kit

An adapter cable is available for customers who already own a Funkwerk hands-free car kit (including the Audio 2000, 3000, Audio blue, Audio com, and Audio compact) and who would like to easily conver t the EGO FL ASH. The adapter cable connects the ISO cable, already installed in the vehicle, of your previous Funkwerk handsfree system with the EGO FLASH and is available as an acce ssor y.

NOTE! This simple converting option is only possible when installing the EGO FL ASH without a stereo mute box. To install the EGO FLASH with the stereo mute box, the stereo mute box’s ISO connecting cable should be used to connect to the vehicle.



EGO FLA SH

6.1.5 Add-on speakers / Car audio telephone connection

The car’s loudspeakers are transferred to the system is by means of switch contacts. These are designed for a peak power handling of 35 W (Sinus). Loudspeaker power handling exceeding 35 W leads to premature wear on the switching contacts. For higher outputs, use the telephone connection of the car audio or a 5 W / 4-Ohm satellite speaker. This port is only designed for voice reproduction.

6.1.6 Car audio line-in input

A car audio with a line-in input option is required for music reproduction in stereo. As an alternative to line-in, the car audio may have a mini-ISO por t (block connector C), a 0.14 in jack socket or a RCA input socket. An appropriate adapter lead is required for the connection between the EGO FLASH line-out and the line-in version of your audio system. If your car audio system has no line-in option, you can employ the optionally available Stereo Mute Box for stereo reproduction in combination with your car’s front speakers.

6.2 Installation locations

INSTALLATION LOCATIONS! Unsuitable installation locations may become a source of injur y in an accident (or emergency braking)

situation, or may inhibit the correct functioning of essential safety equipment!

6.2.1 Checking cable lengths

Before you’ve securely installed the components, check that the installation locations have been selected in such a way that the cable length is sufﬁcient to connect the individual components.

6.2.2 Selection of the installation location for the electronics box

The Bluetooth® antenna for the connection to the mobile phone is installed in the electronics box. The antenna transmits directionally towards the front. For this reason, during installation, ensure that the antenna faces into the passenger cell (see Fig. 02). Vertical mounting is ideal. Metallic screening between the front panel and the passenger cell, such as metal or metallised plastic panels, are unsuitable and may interfere with the Bluetooth® connection. Locations behind the dashboard or in a metal-lined glove compartment are also unsuitable.

A covering in plastic, fabric or wood presents no problems whatsoever.



Fig. 02: Signal tr ansmission of the Bluetooth® antenna

Suitable locations for the electronics box:

Passenger side, next to the middle console under the paneling, model-speciﬁc installation console (dealer). Our suggested installation locations are shown in the illustration on the right.

Further unsuitable locations are:

Leg and knee height, potential head impact zone, airbag inﬂation space, engine compar tment

6.2.3 Selection of the point of installation for the microphone

Suitable for the microphone:

Where voice can reach the microphone unhindered (distance between the speaker and the microphone should be approx. 13.78 in), on the A-column (between windshield and driver’s side window), next to the driver‘s sun visor, on the dashboard

Unsuitable for the microphone:

Close to the speakers (less than 31 in), under the dashboard, in the air stream from open windows or air vents

6.2.4 Selection of site for installing the control unit with integrated display

Suitable for the control console:

In the space above the DIN installation shaft, close to the steering wheel (in an easily accessible and visible position)

6.3 Installation

DAMAGE TO ESSENTIAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS! Essential vehicle components or wiring can be damaged when drilling mounting

holes or screwing in self-threading screws. Please make sure there is always sufﬁcient space behind the screw holes and drilled holes!

6.3.1 Mounting the electronics box

Installation consoles for a number of car models are available from your dealer. These are designed to contain all the system components, including the electronics box. When it is not possible to use an installation console, please proceed as follows:

Deﬁne the mounting points

Making sure that there is at least 2.8 in space for the plug and socket connectors. Mark the positions for the ﬁxing screws.

Mounting the electronics box

For mounting the electronics box, use four self-threading screws and appropriate washers. We recommend size “ST 2,9x25 DIN 7981” self-threading screws. These are ideal for the ﬁxing of the electronics box. Pre-drill the holes with a 0.08 in drill.

6.3.2 Mounting the microphone

Deﬁne the mounting location

The microphone holder has a self-adhesive strip on the back. The mounting location should have the same form and area as the self-adhesive strip on the microphone holder. The location selected must allow the microphone cable to reach the electronics box! Position the microphone with the head facing towards the direction of speech.

Cleaning and degreasing the mounting location

The mounting location must be clean and free from grease and dirt/dust. Prior to installation, clean the area with a cleansing product containing ethyl alcohol. Only use products that do not damage plastics or varnished wood ﬁnishes and are themselves free of oils or grease. Unsuitable cleansers are, for example, lighter ﬂuid, acetone, turpentine, trichloroethylene and similar products.

Attaching the microphone holder

Peel off the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip. Hold the microphone holder at a distance of several millimetres (about a quarter of an inch) above the desired mounting location. Re-check the positioning. Re-positioning after mounting is no longer possible. Place the microphone holder on the mounting location and ﬁx by applying short and light pressure.

Unsuitable cleansers are, for example, lighter ﬂuid, acetone, turpentine, trichloroethylene and similar products.

Attaching the control unit with integrated display

After deﬁning the appropriate cable direction on the back of the console, ﬁx it by covering it with the self-adhesive pad. Hold the control console at a distance of several millimetres (about a quarter of an inch) above the desired mounting location. Re-check the positioning. Re-positioning the console after mounting is no longer possible. Apply the control console to the proposed mounting location and ﬁx by applying short and light pressure.

6.4 Connection scheme

6.4.1 Preface Installation for call reception for a car audio system with a mute input but without a phone input

With this connection option, voice playback is is emitted from the front right car speaker. During calls, the mute input blocks the car audio signal.

NOTE: Please observe the information in section “6.5.1 Checking the mute inputs” on connecting the mute lead of the ISO connecting cable.

Installation for voice playback with a car audio system with phone and mute input options

With this connection option, voice playback comes through the car audio system speakers. During calls, the car radio output is switched to the phone input by the mute input In order to access the phone input of your car audio system, the speaker output of your EGO FLASH must be connected to the phone input of your car audio system. The purple and green leads of the ISO cable must be connected to the car audio phone input for this option. The purple and green leads must be disconnected from the ISO connector. The green lead (pin 14 of

7.4 Getting started

Take enough time to familiarize yourself with the use of the EGO FLASH in combination with your mobile phone. First of all, make a few calls to determine the ideal volume and the best voice pickup direction before using the EGO FLASH in trafﬁc. When getting started, your car should be parked in a quiet place. It is also helpful if the person you will be calling can take time to let you make some test calls.

7.4.1 About Bluetooth® technology

Bluetooth® technology is a wireless technology and, as such, it allows communication between individual devices without the need for cables. Data and voice information can be transmitted simultaneously. It is unnecessar y to have line-of-sight routing between the devices. The transmission/reception range in the open is typically 33 feet. Interference from other electrical or electronic equipment or obstacles may, however, reduce this range. The frequency band, in which Bluetooth® operates, is reserved virtually worldwide. This, coupled with the fact that each Bluetooth® product is tested and approved for compatibility with other Bluetooth® devices, ensures the highest possible levels of compatibility with devices from a wide range of manufacturers. The EGO FLA SH system supports the Bluetooth® hands-free proﬁle. This means that it is fully compatible with all phones suppor ting the Bluetooth® hands-free proﬁle. If you are uncertain, read the operating instructions for your mobile phone to see which proﬁles are supported. A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Proﬁle) is a technology that enables the wireless transmission of stereo audio signals via Bluetooth® to a compatible receiving device. Please take a look at our homepage for information about compatible mobile phones.
