Traffic Safety and Precautions  
Do not adjust your unit in difficult driving conditions that demand your full attention.  
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to pay attention to the traffic situation  
at all times. Never use your unit in a way that could distract you.  
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.  
If your vehicle was parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in temperature  
inside the vehicle, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

Detachable Face (Release Panel)  
Detaching and Attaching the Face:  
The face of this unit can be detached and taken with you to prevent it from being stolen.  
Detaching the Face:  
Press the REL (Release) Button and detach the face by gently pulling it off as illustrated.  
Note: Do not pull it straight out from the chassis. Be sure not to drop the face when detaching it  
from the chassis. Do not expose the face to direct sunlight, heat sources such as hot air ducts or  
leave it in a humid place.  
Attaching the Face:  
Apply the right hand side of the face to the chassis by sliding (part B) of the face to (part A) at  
the front of the chassis. Gently push the left side of the face against the front of the chassis until  
it snaps into place.  
Note: Do not press against the display window. Do not press hard against the face when  
attaching it to the chassis, it may be easily attached with gentle pressure.  
Affixing Faceplate For Retail Display:  
The faceplate can be affixed to the unit’s chassis, which is desirable for a retail display, for  
example.  
To affix the faceplate:  
Insert the black bolt into the hole at the left front of the top of the radio. See * below.

Electrical Connections  
To avoid the aggravation of costly mistakes and serious damage, please carefully read all of the  
instructions before you begin. Carefully follow all instructions.  
General Recommendations  
If you’re not confident that you can install the unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified  
Blaupunkt installation technician.  
Use this unit only with negative ground 12 Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC).  
Be sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect or install the unit.  
We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the unit.  
Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions and diagram below.  
Electrical Connection Instructions  
1. Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.  
2. Connect the speakers following the guidelines in the “Speaker Connection” section below.  
3. Connect the antenna output lead to the antenna motor trigger input terminal (if you have  
one). The total amperage required of the antenna lead must not exceed 100 mA. Do not  
connect the antenna lead to the antenna’s power supply input.  
4. Connect the ground lead to a grounded metal part on the vehicle. We recommend  
grounding all audio system ground leads (head unit, external amplifier, etc.) to a common  
grounding point, preferably a non-painted surface under the instrument panel.  
5. Connect the battery input lead to a source of constant battery power, preferably a terminal  
to an appropriate slot in the fuse box.  
6. Connect the ignition input lead only after the other leads are connected. Be sure to connect  
the ignition lead to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only when the  
ignition key is set to the on position or accessory position.  
7. 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 radio or  
vehicle.  
8. Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.  
9. Verify that no fuses have blown.  
10. Plug the harness into the unit.

Mounting the Unit in a Japanese Car  
You may have difficulty mounting this unit in some Japanese cars that have ISO mounting  
features. In this case, consult your Blaupunkt dealer.  
1. Run a blade along the slits on the back of the front trim ring, unscrew the two side screws,  
and separate it from the unit. Save the trim ring and related hardware in case you ever want  
to install the unit in another vehicle.  
2. Use the vehicle’s own mounting hardware to attach the unit.
