Important notes
What you need to know
Before using your new car audio system,
please read through the following information carefully.
Traffic safety
Road safety must be your top priority at all
times. Always use your car audio system so
that you remain in complete control of the
traffic situation.
Please keep in mind that you travel 44 feet
in a second when driving at just 30mph.
Should the traffic situation become particularly demanding, we advise you not to use
the audio system.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from outside the vehicle, such as police or fire engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly.
Consequently, you should always select a
moderate volume for playing your car audio
system 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 the enclosed instructions on installation and connection carefully.
To ensure that the system functions correctly, plus must be connected to the ignition
and continuous plus.
Never ground the speaker outputs!
Telephone mute
If you have installed a car telephone in your
vehicle, it is possible to automatically mute
the radio or CD playback when you use the
telephone (telephone mute).
“PHONE” will then appear in the display.
Traffic announcements continue to have
priority if you have activated TA. You can
interrupt traffic messages by pressing TA.
Accessories
Use only Blaupunkt-approved accessories
and spare parts.
You can use the following Blaupunkt products with this unit:
Amplifiers
All Blaupunkt amplifiers. The preamp-out
wire 7 607 893 093 is required.
Remote control unit
The RC 06 infrared remote control unit allows you to conveniently operate the most
important functions from the steering wheel.
TMC
The Traffic Message Channel is a new RDS
service for area or road-related traffic information.
