SAFTEY NOTES & GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS To avoid costly mistakes and serious damage, please carefully read all of the instructions before you begin. Youll be glad you did! If youre not confident that you can install the receiver correctly, have it installed by a qualified Blaupunkt installation technician. Use this receiver only with negative ground 12-Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC). A quick-acting 10A fuse protects this receiver. Do not substitute any other type of fuse. During operation of the receiver, the receivers sidewall may heat up considerably. Be sure to keep all wires away from hot parts of the housing. Do not damage the vehicles battery, wiring or fuse box. Before drilling holes, look to see what is on the other side! Be sure to observe the safety notes of the vehicle manufacturer, such as those for airbags, alarm systems, on-board computers, immobilisers, and braking systems, etc. We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the receiver. Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions below. Dont assume that a seemingly-matching wire harness in the vehicle matches the receivers wire harness wire-for-wire. Make sure before you connect anything! Your Blaupunkt dealer may be able to sell you adapter harnesses for your vehicle, which can make connections much easier. Modification of this receiver or its mis-connection and/or mis-installation will void its warranty.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS A. Connect the Wire Harnesses to the Vehicles Electrical System (See Fig. 4) To prevent short circuits or serious damage to the receiver and/or speakers: 1. Disconnect the vehicle batterys negative terminal before making connections. 2. Connect the speakers and/or external amplifiers (if you have any) following the guidelines in the SPEAKER & AMPLIFIER CONNECTION section on the next page. 3. Connect the blue (trigger output) lead to an antenna motor trigger switch input terminal (if you have one). (Maximum amperage required must not exceed 150 mA.) 4. Florida RD 168, Nevada RDM 168, and Alaska RDM 168 only: Connect the orange ILLUMINATION lead to the vehicles adjustable illumination (dimmer). 5. Colorado CM 168, Nevada RDM 168, and Alaska RDM 168 only: If you have a cellular telephone set that has a mute lead (lead that supplies constant ground when telephone is in use), connect it to the dark green lead.

7. Connect the yellow (constant power) input lead to a source of constant battery power, preferably directly to the battery. The wire must be 18-gauge or thicker. 8. After the other leads are connected, connect the red turn-on IGNITION lead using either of the following alternatives: A. (Recommended) Connect it to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only when the ignition key is set to the on position or accessory position. (You can still turn the unit on for one hour even if the ignition is off.) B. This lead can instead be connected to a source of constant power, however, your receivers operation will be completely separate from the ignition. With either alternative, the receivers DSC Setting DISP ON/OFF allows you to choose whether or not the receiver and its display are illuminated when the receiver is turned off, but still receiving power via the red lead (i.e. ignition on). 9. 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 to the receiver or vehicle. 10.Reconnect the vehicles battery. 11.Verify that no fuses have blown. B. Test the Connections 1. To help prevent possible electrical damage from accidental misconnection of the receiver, first attach your vehicles antenna. (With Florida RD 168, Nevada RDM 168 and Alaska RDM 168 only: if necessary, attach the antenna elbow connector and affixing bracket to the back of the receiver.) 2. Be sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect the receiver. 3. Plug the harness into the receiver. 4. Verify that the receivers and vehicles fuses havent blown. 5. Attach the faceplate and test the receiver. 6. Once the connections have been successfully made, you can begin the INSTALLATION. (See below.)

SPEAKER & AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS The receivers Dual-Level Fader allows you to fade between the front and the rear channels using the receivers internally-amplified output via front and/or rear speaker leads AND/OR its 4-channel preamp output, providing tremendous flexibility in configuring your audio system arrangement: You can connect a speaker (regular, co-axial or tri-axial speakers or component speaker system, all hereafter referred to simply as speaker) to each of the receivers four pairs of speaker leads. With the Blaupunkt preamp output adapter (available separately), you can provide 4-channel preamp output to additional external amplifiers and power multiple speakers or speaker systems through those amplifiers. (Blaupunkt amplifiers and speakers available separately). You can use either or both of these two methods.

Connecting Speakers to the Outputs from the Receivers Internal Amplifier To prevent short circuits or serious damage to the receiver and/or speakers: Disconnect the vehicle batterys negative terminal before making connections. Connect the speaker leads only as indicated on the speaker wire block. (See Fig. 6) Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling capabilities greater than the receivers stated power level. The receivers internal amplifier is designed to handle a 4-ohm load on each pair of speaker leads. DONT connect two speakers to a single pair of speaker leads (in parallel) unless both speakers each have at least 8 ohms impedance. DONT connect the left and right speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers. DONT connect the front and rear speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers. DONT connect the negative speaker leads to each other. DONT connect the positive speaker leads to each other. DONT connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker leads unless their owners manuals specifically state that this is O.K. 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 to the receiver or vehicle. Make the other electrical connections. (See previous page.)

Connecting Additional Amplifiers or an Equalizer to the Receivers Preamp Output Obtain the Blaupunkt RCA 4-channel preamp output adapter from your dealer. It includes a blue/white trigger lead for switching the amplifier on and off. Connect the adapter into the top left section of the connector block on the back of the receiver. (See Fig. 7) Follow the amplifiers or equalizers instructions regarding connection. (Blaupunkt amplifiers available separately).

CD CHANGER OR AUX-IN CONNECTION (Arizona, CM 148, Colorado CM 168, Nevada RDM 168, & Alaska RDM 168 Receivers) CD Changer Connection These receivers can control a Blaupunkt CDC-A08 or CDC-A071 CD Changer (or with the adapter harness 889 093, they can control a Blaupunkt CDC-A05 CD Changer) (All available separately.) The changer cable plugs into the right top connector block on the back of the receiver. (See Fig. 6) See the changer instructions for details.
Aux Input If a changer is not connected, you can connect portable audio equipment to your receiver by purchasing Blaupunkt accessory harness 897 093. It connects to the right top block on the rear of the receiver. It includes a 2-meter aux-in cable with a 3.5 mm male plug for direct insert into your portable equipment. WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL (Colorado CM 168, Nevada RDM 168, & Alaska RDM 168 only) This receivers most-frequently used features can be conveniently controlled from the steering wheel with Blaupunkts unique Thummer III Steering-Wheel Remote Control. (Available separately.) The Thummer III includes a receiving eye that can be placed virtually anywhere on the dash, which connects into the center top block on the back of the receiver.
INSTALLATION INSTUCTIONS Recommendations Carefully choose the mounting location so that the receiver wont interfere with normal driving. Avoid mounting locations where the receiver would be subject to high temperatures, such as from direct sunlight or hot air from the heater, or where it would subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration. The illustration below shows a typical installation, however, you may need to adjust the installation, depending on the receiver. If you have questions or need additional installation hardware, consult your Blaupunkt dealer. Make sure the receiver is firmly anchored (preferably at both front and back) and does not vibrate.

Installing the Receiver in Most Dashboards This car receiver and its mounting bracket are designed for installation in vehicles with a standard DIN installation compartment measuring 182 x 53 mm, a 165 mm installation depth and an instrument panel thickness of approximately 1 to 20 mm in the area of the tab fasteners. (See Fig. 1) 1. Place the mounting bracket in the compartment and bend over all of the tabs possible. (See Fig. 2) 2. Your vehicle may also allow you to provide extra stability at the back of the receiver. Look at the wall behind the radio cavity to see if there is a small hole the size of the enclosed plastic plug, If so, screw it onto the treaded bold at the back of the receiver before pushing it into the mounting bracket. 3. With the detachable face off, place the receiver into the mounting bracket and push it in until the side springs snap into position on the left and right. (You will hear an audible click.) 4. To remove the receiver, see the maintenance section on the next page.

Fuse Replacement When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one with the correct amperage, which will be stated on the fuse case. Never use a fuse that has a stated amperage exceeding the one supplied for this receiver as this could cause malfunction and serious damage to the receiver.
Cleaning the Connectors The receiver may not operate properly if the connectors between the receiver and the detachable face are contaminated with dirt. To clean the connectors, use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher). Be sure to clean them with a vertical motion. Never clean them horizontally, because this could damage the contact points. Affixing the Detachable Face for Retail Display The detachable face can be affixed to the receivers chassis, which is desirable for a retail display. To affix the face, obtain the small self-tapping screw from the hardware pack and drive it into the upper hole at the front left side of the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver. The bolt will self-thread the hole. (See Fig. 8)
