Multiprofile-Bluetooth® is deactivated.
Insert the plug of
BT Link 1
or
BT Link 2
in the system connector on the device
(see Picture 6 below).For optimal speech clarity, the
BT Link 1
or
BT Link 2
should
be close to the spokesperson and aligned towards the spokesperson. We recommend
installation in the middle of the dashboard close to the rear view mirror.
Avoid installing close to the ventilation ducts.
Please see Instruction-Manual of
BT Link 1
or
BT Link 2
Attention: Please note the current legal position to service
mobile phones while driving

Connecting the Remote Volume Control (optional)
An optional external volume control can be purchased and connected (see Picture 6 below), into the socket
marked: “Ext. Volume Control” and used to adjust the volume level to an appropriate level, at any time. The
compact housing of the volume control can be accommodated inconspicuously in the vehicle and is ideal for
vehicles with variable ambient noise levels (e.g. Convertibles, Campervans, etc.).
Warning: Insert and remove the external volume control plug only when the equipment is switched off!
e. Connecting and Combining with Existing Hands-Free Equipment
If you already have HFE (Hands Free Equipment) installed in the vehicle, you can easily integrate
FastMute
Sonic XL
with it. If the HFE is, likewise, equipped with ISO connections between the Radio and vehicle, then
the
FastMute
Sonic XL
should be connected between the radio and the HFE. The equipment connection
sequence should be:
Radio
Æ
FastMute
Sonic XL
Æ
HFE
Æ
Vehicle cables
This sequence ensures that the HFE has priority over the Navi announcements because the HFE has direct
access to the loudspeakers.
If there is already a mute signal connection from the HFE to the radio, this can be left attached.
The mute signal from the HFE can also be attached to the
FastMute
Sonic XL
to suppress the output
during a telephone call.
In order to suppress the output from
FastMute
Sonic XL
the free cable on the DIN-ISO Adapter (Pin 2) is
connected to the mute signal of the HFE.
f. Operation with Hifi Amplifier
If your vehicle has Hifi equipment with an external amplifier, then the audio signal from
FastMute
Sonic XL
can be connected to a free input on the amplifier. For this type of connection, use the Audio signal from PIN 17
and 15 and/or PIN 13 and 11 (right front/left front channels) from
FastMute
Sonic XL
. These outputs are
active only when
FastMute
Sonic XL
receives an audio signal. In this way, there is no permanent audio
signal to the amplifier and noise is minimised.
Alternative Installation: You can also switch the loudspeaker signal using the relay switching stage before the
amplifier. With the
FastMute
Sonic XL
installed between the radio and amplifier the non-amplified signal
is switched by the relay stage, before being passed on to the amplifier.
The output volume from
FastMute
Sonic XL
is, in this case, significantly reduced.
Warning: Check the connection possibilities of the amplifier. Where necessary use a “Line-Adapter“ (also known
as “Hi-Low” Adapter), so that the signal level matches the amplifier.
g. “Standalone” operation without radio e.g. helmet loudspeakers on motorcycle
Instead of the vehicle loudspeakers, up to four separate outboard loudspeakers (4-8 Ohm) can be connected to the
relay switch. This configuration allows the use of the equipment completely without a radio and thus also operates
with helmet loudspeakers on a motorcycle.
For this application, use the loudspeaker connections PIN 17/15 (Right front), PIN 13/11 (Left front), PIN 9/7 (Right
rear) and PIN 5/3 (Left rear).
6. Operation and Use
a. Function testing after installation
After installing the
FastMute
Sonic XL
as described, you can begin to test the functionality.
