ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
@k?#&‘>@!
To avoid the aggravation of costly mistakes and serious damage that could make you feel this way. please carefully read all of the instructions before you begin. You’ll
be glad you did!
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
l
If you’re not confident that you can install the unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified Blaupunkt installation technician.
l
Use this unit only with negative ground 12 Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC).
l
Be
sure
to detach the faceplate before you start to connect or install the unit.
l
If you use the unit’s connector with or without an adapter, make sure that function of the leads (wires) of the connector match the function of the leads in the mating connectors!
-
If your vehicle’s radio wire harness is not compatible with this unit’s harness connector, you can either a. buy an adapter harness at a car audio store -or- b. cut off the units
connector and use a different type of connection.
l
We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the unit.
. Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions and diagram below unless the speaker’s or amplifier’s manual states that this is O.K.

Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.
Before any other connections are made, you must first connect the antenna in order to avoid
damage from mis,viring.
Connect speakers following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below.
Connect the black (power ground)
lead to a grounded metal part on the vehicle. We recommend grounding
all
audio system black ground leads
(head unit, CD changer, etc.) to a common
grounding point, preferably a non-painted surface under the instrument panel.
Connect the yellow (constant power) input lead to a source of constant battery power, preferably a terminal to an appropriate slot in the fuse box.
Connect the red (turn-on power) input lead only after the other leads are connected. Be sure to connect the red 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.
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,

SPEAKER
CONNECTfONS
l
You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axial or hi-axial speakers or component speaker system, all hereafter referred
to simply as “speaker’) to each of the units’ four pairs of speaker leads.
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.
l
Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling capabilities greater than
the head unit’s stated power level.
l
The units
internnl
amplifier is designed to handle a
4-ohm
load on each pair of speaker leads.
l
DON’T connect two speakers to a single pair of speaker leads (“in parallel”) unless both speakers each have at least 6
ohms impedance.
l
DON’T connect the left and
right
speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers,
l
DON’T connect the front and rear 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.
Adding CD Changer: You can easily play compact discs through this unit by adding the Blaupunkt CDC-RF6
6-Disc
Compact Disc Changer. The space-saving CDC-RF6 easily plugs into the units antenna jack and comes complete with its
own commander control. See your Blaupunkt dealer for details!
