Operating and Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION

Proper system planning is vital in order to maximize the device’s performance and road safety. Plan your installation carefully to avoid compromising the performance reliability of the system. Consult an authorized Blaupunkt dealer for installation or reparation. Read the manual carefully before operating the device for the first time.

Safety Notes

Ensure to follow the below safety notes during install-location and wiring connection: –
Disconnect the negative terminal of the

Refer to the safety notes of the vehicle manufacturer.
Ensure the positions of the holes are nowhere near the vehicle component to avoid any damage during drilling.
Ensure cross-section of the cable is no less than 2.5mm2 if the positive and negative cables are too long.
Incorrect installation may result in malfunc-on of the device or the car sound system.

Installation and Connection Instructions

Select a dry and well-ventilated location to install the device.
The device must not be installed on the rear shelf, rear seats or exposed locations.
The installation location must be suitable for screw holes and have stable ground support.

Integrated Fuse

The integrated fuse in the device protects the output voltage and the entire electrical system in case of malfunction. Do not replace the damaged fuse with a higher current.

Switching On/Off

This device will automatically turn on if the audio signal is detected. The device will also auto- magically turn off if the audio signal is received.

Voltage Supply

Use the supplied power extension cable to connect to the positive battery terminal.
Firmly and carefully connect the ground lead to a bare metal point on the vehicle chassis.
The control of the device should be a two-channel control, either via the preampli- fier output of the car sound system.
A control solely via the right or left channel is also possible since the low-frequency portion of the music is generally identical on both channels.

Remote Control

Turn the sub-level knob to adjust the volume to the desired level.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Examine if your wiring is similar to Diagram 1 or Diagram 2 in case of device operation or performance failure. The following table indicates other possible problems and solutions. Refer to an authorized Blaupunkt dealer if the problem persists.

Problem	Solution
Amplifier power up failure	Examine if the ground connection is intact.

Examine if remote input has at least 5V DC.
Examine if battery power is connected correctly to the + terminal.
Ensure supplied voltage is a minimum of 12V.
Examine if the fuse is broken and replace if necessary.
Restart the device if the protection LED light is on.
No sound output| Examine fuses and replace if necessary.
Examine ground connection is intact.
Examine if remote input has at least 5V DC.
Examine if RCA audio cables are connected to the right inputs.
Examine if speaker wiring is intact.
Low sound output| Reset Level Control
Examine the Crossover Control setting.
Buzzing noise| Observe if the device is still producing noise after turning on and off the amplifier. If yes, examine if the cables are correctly connected and if the cables and radio are in good condition. Repair or replace if the cables or the radio are not in good condition.
Squealing noise interference| Ensure RCA connections are properly connected.
Distorted sound output| Ensure input level of the device matches the signal level of the head unit.
Always set the input level to the lowest.
Examine if crossover frequency is set correctly.
Examine if the speaker wire had short-circuited.
Amplifier temperature increased| Examining the minimum speaker impedance for the amp models is correct.
Ensure good air ventilation around the device. Add an external cooling fan if necessary.
Engine noise (static sound)interference| Usually caused by poor RCA cable quality, which releases noise. Use only the best quality cables, and route them away from power cables.
Engine noise (Alterna- for whine) interference| Examine if the RCA cable is nowhere near or attached to the vehicle chassis.
Examine if the head unit is properly connected to the wires.
