&connact the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.
Connect the speakers and/or external amplifiers (if you have any) following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below.
Connect the blue (trigger output) lead to the amplifier’s trigger input terminal and/or antenna motor trigger input terminal (if you have either or both of these Items). The combined
total amperage required for triggering the antenna motor and/or amplifier must not exceed 100 mA. DO NOT connect the blue lead to the antenna’s and/or amplifier’s power
supply input.
Connect the black (power ground) lead to a grounded metal part on the vehicle. We recommend grounding all audio system black ground leads (head unit, external amplifier,
etc.) to a common grounding point, preferably a non-painted surface under the instrument panel.
Connect the yellow (constant power) input lead to a source of constant battery power, preferably a terminal to an appropriate slot in the fuse box.
Connect the red (turn-on power) input lead only afler the other leads are connected. Be sure to connect the red lead to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only
when the ignition key is set to the on position or accessory position.
Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching the vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage lo the radio Or vehicle.
Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.

SPEAKER CONNECTtONS
The unrt’s Dual-Level Fader allows you to lade between the front and the rear channels using either the from and/or rear speaker leads and/or the rear preamp outputs, providing you
tremendous flexibrlity in configuring your speaker arrangement
l You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axral or td-axral speakers or component speaker system, all hereafter referred to simply as ‘speaker”) to each of the units’ four pairs of
speaker leads.
l You can connect the 2 RCA preamp outputs to mbltiple external amplifiers and power multiple speakers or speaker
systems through the amplifiers. (Blaupunkt ampkfters and speakers available separately. Call l-800-950-2528 for

l You can use a combination of these two methods.
Connecting the Speaker Leads
To prevent short circuits or sertous damage to the unit and/or speakers:
l Connect the speaker leads only as indicated in the wiring diagram.
l Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or hrgher and have power-handling capabilities greater than
the head unit’s stated power level.
l The unit’s internal amplifier is designed to handle a 4-ohm load on each pair of speaker leads.
l DON’T connect two speakers to a single pair of speaker leads (“in parallel”) unless both speakers each have at least 8
ohms impedance
l DON’T connect the left and right speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
l DON’T connect the front and rear speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
l DON’T connect the negative speaker leads to each other.
l DON7 connect the positive speaker leads to each other.
l DON’T connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker leads or unless the speaker’s or amplifier’s
manual states that this is OK.
