Important notes
Precautions
Before starting to use your new car radio, please read the following information carefully.

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 +I2 V lead. Do not ground the loudspeaker outputs!

Remote control
With the infrared steering wheel remote control and its signal-receiving apparatus you can control all of the important functions of your car audio system from the steering wheel.

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.

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.

Amplifier
All Blaupunkt amplifiers

Accessories
Use only the accessories and spare parts approved by Blaupunkt. You can use the following Blaupunkt products with this car stereo:

Auxiliary Input 7 607 890 093
Adapter for portable audio equipment, for example.

Speakers

KeyCard theft protection system
The Blaupunkt KeyCard Security System provides an effective and convenient means of theft deterrence. Each unit operates only when it's own card is inserted. No card, no use. It's that simple. The units flashing tongue and security system 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 remove the card and put in your wallet or pocket. 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, balance, fader and DSC settings. The benefit: two drivers, such as a husband and wife, can store separate settings to their individual likings on their separate cards.

Putting the unit into operation
1. Turn the unit on.
2. Make the orange tongue stick out by pressing it into the radio so that it pops out. 3. Insert the KeyCard into the slot with the gold contact facing up and the arrow pointed into the unit. The car radio is now ready for operation. If a wrong KeyCard is inserted, then "CARD ERR" will appear in the display. In this case please do not make any further adjustments. The system will switch off after approximately ten seconds. When inserting another card type (e.g. phone or credit card), the display will show "WRONG KC" for approximately two seconds. 4. Remove the wrong card and introduce the correct KeyCard after the display indications "CARD ERR" or "WRONG KC" disappear. 5. Press ON to turn the set on.

Replacing a KeyCard
1. Insert the remaining KeyCard and turn on the set. 2. Press the DSC button and select "LEARN KC" with A/V. 3. Press cc or >>. The display will switch to "CHANGE". 4. Push in the KeyCard. The card is released and put in the proper position for being removed. 5. Remove the first KeyCard and insert the new one while "CHANGE" is still being displayed. After the display indication "READY" or "LEARN KC", 6. press DSC. Now you can also use the new KeyCard for operating your unit. A maximum of two cards can be used for the set. When trying to "train" a third one, the access authorisation for the KeyCard not used for the "training" process will be deleted automatically.

To replace a lost or stolen card, please call l-800-920-21 21.

Removing the KeyCard
Never pull out the KeyCard directly!
First, slightly push in the KeyCard. This releases the card and puts it in the proper position for being removed. l Now you can pull it out.

If you do not want the tongue to blink at any time, simply access "LED" in the DSC menu, and press c< or >> to turn in off.

Using the SRC button you can switch between the following audio sources: radio, tape, changer (optional), or AUX Tape operation is only available if a cassette is inserted. AUX is only available if no Blaupunkt changer CDC A05 or CDC A 071 is connected. "AUX ON" must be activated in the DSC menu. To switch to another source, l press SRC briefly.

Optical indication for extra security
Blinking KeyCard tongue
When the vehicle is stationary and the KeyCard removed, the KeyCard tongue can be switched to blink for extra anti-theft security. For this it is necessary that the positive power supply line and the permanent +12 V lead are connected such as described in the installation instructions. Be sure that "LED ON" is adjusted in the DSC mode. If required, please refer to chapter "DSC programming - LED".

Care of your KeyCard
For a proper function of the KeyCard it is important that the contacts are free from any foreign particles. Avoid direct skin contact. If necessary, clean the KeyCard contacts using a cotton swab soaked with alcohol.

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

Care notes
To avoid possible problems, we recommend you to use C-60/C-30 type cassette tapes only. Store your tapes in a cool place away from dirt, dust and temperatures exceeding 120 "Fahrenheit (50 "Celsius). Allow very cold tapes to warm up before playing them in order to avoid uneven tape transport. After approximately 100 hours of use, dust particles collected on the playback head or roller may lead to tape run problems and sound distortions. Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) soaked with alcohol. Do not attempt to clean by inserting a hard object into the player!

Dolby B NR*
With this unit you can play back tapes recorded with Dolby-B NR or without noise reduction. Cassette tapes recorded with Dolby NR* stand out by their reduced tape hiss and the improved dynamics.

SPEAKER CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The unit's Dual-Level Fader allows you to fade between the front and the rear channels using either the front and/or rear speaker leads and/or the rear preamp outputs, providing you tremendous flexibility in configuring your speaker arrangement: l You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axial or tri-axial speakers or component speaker system, all hereafter referred to simply as "speaker") to each of the units' four pairs of speaker leads. l With the purchase of Blaupunkt accessory wire harness 8 643 494 218, you can connect the 4 RCA preamp outputs to multiple external amplifiers and power multiple speakers or speaker systems through the amplifiers. (See below) l You can use a either or both of these two methods. l Blaupunkt amplifiers and speakers sold separately. Connecting the Speaker Leads To prevent short circuits or serious damage to the unit and/or speakers: l Connect the speaker leads only as indicated in the wiring diagram. Disconnect the vehicle battery's negative terminal before making connections. l Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling capabilities greater than the receiver's stated power level. l The unit's internal amplifier is designed to handle a 4-ohm load on each pair of speaker leads. l DON'T connect two soeakers to a sit-role oair of speaker leads ("in parallel") unless both speakers each have at least 8 ohms impedance. l DON'T connect the left and riqht speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers. l DON'T connect the front and year speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers. l DON'T connect the negative speaker leads to each other. l DON'T connect the positive speaker leads to each other. l DON'T connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker leads unless their owner's manuals specifically state that this is O.K. l Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching the vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage to the receiver or vehicle.
