5 Important safety instructions
Please read and strictly observe the following instructions!
You are not permitted to disassemble, modify or repair the car radio.
Never open the case of the car radio; it does not contain any serviceable parts!
If the case is open, there is a risk of fatality due to electric shock.
Do not give your car radio and especially the accessories to children. Never let your children use electrical devices without
supervision. Children are not always able to recognise potential hazards. Also keep plastic packaging away from children.
There is a danger of suffocation.
The car radio and the accompanying components must not be exposed to dripping or sprayed water. Make sure that no
containers filled with liquid, such as bottles or cups, are placed in the vicinity of the device.
Make sure that the display is not subjected to any knocks. This can damage the display.
Please familiarise yourself with the different functions of your device before you begin driving. Excessively high volumes can
pose a risk for you and other road users. Therefore, always set the volume at such a level that ambient noises (horns, sirens
etc) can still be heard.
Multimedia CDs also contain recordings of files other than audio files. If you play such a CD despite the warning information, it
may result in noise at a volume that endangers traffic. Furthermore, damage may be caused to the power amplifier and
speakers.
Do not use the car radio at an excessive volume. This poses a risk to your hearing.
Please make any adjustments to the settings only when your vehicle is parked as your concentration could
otherwisebeadverselyaffected.

Note:
We recommend that you have the device installed by a specialist company. Then you will have created the prerequisites for a
problem-free functioning of the device. If at any point during the installation you are unsure that you can correctly connect the
device by yourself, contact a specialist. A faulty installation may cause damage to the device and the vehicle electronics.
Please note that the costs of installation (or removal in the case of a claim under guarantee) are not borne by the
manufacturer.
1. For the installation of the device, first remove the transport safety screws on the CD drive (Fig. 8.1).
2. Then remove the installation frame from the device with the aid of the release key, by sliding the release keys into the
openings provided on the right and left side of the device, as described in Fig. 8.1. Make sure that the protrusion on the
release key (Fig. 8.2) points away from the device while it is being inserted. Afterwards, the frame can be slid down over the
device towards the rear.
3. Now slide the installation frame into the installation slot provided for the car radio.

Caution:
This device is distinguished by a high output level. This results in
strong heat generation during operation. Therefore no cables or other
components must be allowed near the device. If their insulation were
to melt, there would be the danger of a short circuit or fire.
77
7.2 Connecting the antenna
The device is designed for antennas with an impedance of 75 to 150. To connect the antenna, plug the antenna cable into
the antenna socket of the device (black cable, socket
on the rear of the device).
7.3 Supply voltage
ISO plug A:
A4: Attach the connection for +12V operational voltage (diameter at least 2.5 mm² for positive and ground wire) to terminal 30
(permanent plus) of the vehicle.
A5: +12 V switching voltage output (max. 0.1 A). When the device is turned on, the switching voltage adjoins contact A5 and
serves to retract or extract an automatic antenna and as operational voltage for antenna amplifiers.
A6: Connection for operating panel light. If this connector is plugged in, the operating panel display is dimmed whenever the
light is switched on.
A7: Connection for +12V trigger voltage. Connect to terminal 15 of the vehicle.
A8: Connect the connection for the ground (diameter at least 2.5 mm² for positive and ground wire) to terminal 31 (ground) of
the vehicle.

7.5 Removal
Turn off the device. Remove the operating panel and place it into the case. Clamp
off the negative pole of the vehicle battery for the duration of the disassembly
process. First remove the front frame of the device. Then insert the two release
keys into the openings on both sides of the front of the device and slide these as
far as the stops. Make sure that the protrusions on the release keys (Abb. 8.2)
point away from the device during the insertion. Slowly and carefully pull out the
device. Detach all connectors (i.e. plugs and antenna) from the device.
