INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

(1 l-l 6 Volt) direct current (DC).

A quick-acting

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

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

A. Connect the Wire Harnesses to the Vehicle’s Electrical System (See Fig. 4)

To prevent short circuits or serious damage to the receiver and/or speakers:

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.

2. Connect the speakers and/or external amplifiers (if you have any) following the guidelines in the

SPEAKER & AMPLIFIER CONNECTION section on the next page.

3. Connect the blue (trigger output) lead to an antenna motor trigger switch input terminal (if you

have one). (Maximum amperage required must not exceed 150

4. Florida RD 168, Nevada RDM 168, and Alaska RDM 168 only: Connect the orange ILLUMINA-

TION lead to the vehicle’s adjustable illumination (dimmer).

Nevada RDM 168, and Alaska RDM 168 only: If you have a cellular telephone

set that has a mute lead (lead that supplies constant ground when telephone is in use), connect

it to the dark green lead.
