Installation of the radio
You can either operate your ALBRECHT AE 5290 in the car or at home as a base
station. For installation as a mobile station in the car, a mobile mount device is
enclosed. Mount the set in such a way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight if
possible, as this would lead to an increase in the temperature and can decrease the
(set’s) working life. The set should also not be installed near a heater. Mount the set
in such a way that it is exposed to as little vibration as possible.
The mobile fixing device should be attached to the dashboard, the tunnel slot or to
any other suitable place using the enclosed tapping screws. Do not install the set in
a place where it could cause injuries in the case of an accident (be particulary
careful to ensure free leg movement). Take care not to damage any underlying wires
during installation!
Then insert the radio into the fixing device. Secure the set with the large knurled
screws (using the enclosed plastic washers) firmly at the required angle.
Also mount the microphone fixing device using the enclosed screws in an easily-
accessible place.
In order to prevent interference to the vehicle electronics from transmission in the
vehicle, please make sure to take any mounting instructions from the vehicle
manufacturer for radios and antennas into account.
Power supply
Your AE 5290 receives power from the 3 pin plug-in cable.
The red and black wires in the cable are for the power supply, the orange one can
be used for permanent plus if required, to maintain the 5 stored stations and the last
channel memory. The cable has looped-in fuses.
You can choose from various methods when connecting to the power supply (red
and black):
Example 1
The channel last tuned into and the 5 stored stations should be maintained
after switching off; the set should be able to be switched on and off at any
time using the volume / on/off switch.
Connect up the red and the orange-coloured wires together to the positive
pole on the vehicle battery (or elsewhere in the vehicle’s electrical system
with permanent plus) or to a 12 volt power unit.
Connect up the black wire to the negative pole on the vehicle battery or the
power unit or to a well-conductive part of the car body.
Example 2
The set should be automatically switched on and off with the ignition. All
stored stations should be kept in memory.
