Important Notes
What You Should Read By All
Means!
Beforestartingtouseyournewcarradio,you
should carefully read through the safety no-
tes and the information about the ‘KeyCard’.
Safety Notes
Beingthedriverofamotorvehicleyoushould
dedicateyourfullattentiontothetrafficaround
you. Therefore always use your car stereo
such that you are able to cope with the
present traffic situation in any moment.
In difficult driving situations you should turn
your set off. Please take into account that at
a speed of 50 km/h you are almost covering
a distance of 14 m per second!
When adjusting the volume, always make
sure that acoustic signals from the outside
can still be heard in order to be able to react
to alert signals just as it is required by the
present situation.
If you would like to mount or expand the unit
by yourself, you should by all means read
through the enclosed mounting and con-
nection instructions before.
Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to
ground!
Only use the accessory and replacement
parts approved by Blaupunkt.
Due to the high output power of the output
stage, the metal housing of the set may heat
up considerably. Therefore never touch this
metal enclosure when removing the unit.
KeyCard
Your car radio is theft-protected and cannot
beoperatedwithouttheKeyCard.Therefore,
other people cannot make use of your set.
Since it is not possible to utilize the car radio
withanotherKeyCard,itwillbeofnoworthat
all for a thief - in case the KeyCard was
removed before.

are first represented on the display (‘----’)
beforetheindicationchangesto‘CARDERR’.
Duringthisperiodthesetcannotbeoperated
even with the right KeyCard.
●Remove the false card. Now the correct
card has to be inserted by all
means.
After the third false try it will take one hour
before the set can be operated with the
correct card. In the meantime, ‘----’is indica-
ted on the display.
After another 7 wrong attempts, the car ste-
reocanonlybeputinoperationbyoneofour
authorized service partners. For this, the car
radio passport has to be presented.
Switchingthecarstereooffduringthewaiting
period will set the waiting time to ‘zero’after
the unit has been activated again.
KeyCard Lost
If you have lost your KeyCard or if it was
damaged,oneofourauthorizedservicepart-
ners will help you against presentation of
your car radio passport.
These service partners are designated by

detailed information about your local Key-
Card service facility.
