NOTES AND ACCESSORIES
Installation
Notes and accessories
If you want to install your car radio your-
self, please read the installation and
connection instructions that follow these
operating instructions.
Thank you for deciding to use a Blau-
punkt product. We hope you enjoy us-
ing this new piece of equipment.
Please read these operating instruc-
tions before using the equipment for
the first time.
Accessories
Only use accessories approved by Blau-
punkt.
The Blaupunkt editors are constantly
working on making the operating in-
structions clearer and easier to under-
stand. However, if you still have any
questions on how to operate the equip-
ment, please contact your dealer or the
telephone hotline for your country. You
will find the telephone numbers printed
at the back of this booklet.
Remote control
The RC 08, RC 10 or RC 10H remote
controls (available as optional accesso-
ries) allow you to safely and convenient-
ly access the main functions of your car
radio.
Amplifier
Road and traffic safety
All Blaupunkt amplifiers can be used.
Road and traffic safety have ab-
solute priority. Only operate your car
radio if the road and traffic conditions
allow you to do so. Familiarise your-
self with the device before setting off
on your journey.
Calibration microphone
You can use the calibration microphone
(available as an accessory) for the
equalizer’s automatic sound calibration
feature.
You should always be able to hear
police, fire and ambulance sirens
from afar. For this reason, set the
volume of whatever you are listen-
ing to at a reasonable level.
CD changer
The following CD changers can be ob-
tained from accessory retailers for con-
nection with this device: CDCA02, CDC
A 08, CDC A 072 und IDC A 09.
You can also connect the CDC A 071
CD-changer by using an adapter cable
(Blaupunkt no.: 7 607 889 093).
Safety information
The car radio and the device's
control panel (flip-release panel) heat
up during use. Therefore, when re-
moving the flip-release panel, only
hold it by its non-metallic surfaces.
Allow the car radio to cool down first
if you want to uninstall the whole unit.

NOTES AND ACCESSORIES
THEFT PROTECTION
Removable control panel
Theft protection
As a way of protecting your car radio
against theft, the unit is equipped with
a removable control panel (flip-release
panel). Without this control panel, the
car radio is worthless to a thief.
Compact Drive MP3
As an alternative to a CD changer, you
can connect a Compact Drive MP3 to
access MP3 music tracks. If you con-
nect a Compact Drive MP3, you will first
need to use a computer to store the MP3
music tracks on the Microdrive(tm) hard
disk inside the Compact Drive MP3.
Then, when the Compact Drive MP3 is
connected to the car radio, you can play
the tracks like normal CD music tracks.
The Compact Drive MP3 is operated in
the same way as a CD changer. Most
of the CD changer functions can also
be used with the Compact Drive MP3.
Protect your equipment against theft by
taking the control panel with you every
time you leave your vehicle. Do not
leave the control panel in your vehicle -
not even in a hiding place.
The control panel has been designed
to be easy to use.
Note:
● Never drop the control panel.
● Never expose the control panel to
direct sunlight or other heat sourc-
es.
● Store the control panel in the sup-
plied case.
● Avoid making direct skin contact
with the control panel’s contacts. If
necessary, clean the contacts with
a lint-free cloth soaked in alcohol.
