SAFTEY NOTES & GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
To avoid costly mistakes and serious damage, please carefully read all of the instructions
before you begin. You’ll be glad you did!
•
If you’re not confident that you can install the receiver correctly, have it installed by a qualified
Blaupunkt installation technician.
•
Use this receiver only with negative ground 12-Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC).
•
A quick-acting 10A fuse protects this receiver. Do not substitute any other type of fuse.
•
During operation of the receiver, the receiver’s sidewall may heat up considerably. Be sure to
keep all wires away from hot parts of the housing.
•
Do not damage the vehicle’s battery, wiring or fuse box. Before drilling holes, look to see what
is on the other side!
•
Be sure to observe the safety notes of the vehicle manufacturer, such as those for airbags, alarm
systems, on-board computers, immobilisers, and braking systems, etc.
•
We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the receiver.
Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions below.
•
Don’t assume that a seemingly-matching wire harness in the vehicle matches the receiver’s wire
harness wire-for-wire. Make sure before you connect anything!
•
Your Blaupunkt dealer may be able to sell you adapter harnesses for your vehicle, which can
make connections much easier.
•
Modification of this receiver or its mis-connection and/or mis-installation will void its warranty.
