Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing this high-
quality car audio amplifier.
As innovators in the world of car hi-fi, we are
pleased to introduce you to the new future-
oriented technology that is integrated in our
Class D amplifiers.
Class D amplifiers are considerably more
efficient than standard analogue technolo-
gies. The efficiency of analogue amplifiers
is around 60 % whilst our digital power am-
plifiers convert up to 80 % of the input ener-
gy into sound. You could describe the re-
sults as "more sound produced from less".
Furthermore, digital amplifiers heat up so lit-
tle that they can also be installed in places
that are not very well ventilated, such as
beneath the seats.
To ensure that the sound quality is optimised,
we recommend that the installation of your
new Blaupunkt amplifier be carried out by
an authorised Blaupunkt dealer.
Please allow us to make a few comments
on the issue of health:
When listening to music in your vehicle, re-
member that continuous sound pressure lev-
els of over 100 dB can lead to permanent
hearing damage and even total hearing loss.
Modern high-powered systems and high-
quality loudspeaker configurations are ca-
pable of producing sound pressure levels
exceeding 130 dB.
We are convinced that you will very quickly
appreciate the advantages of our Class D
amplifiers and we would like to take this op-
portunity to wish you a lot of fun with this
new component in your sound system.

Safety notices
Installation and connection instruc-
tions
The battery's negative terminal must be dis-
connected for the entire time it takes to in-
stall and connect the device.
You must observe the vehicle manufactur-
er's safety notices (airbags, alarm systems,
trip computers, immobilizers) regarding this.
The Blaupunkt power amplifier must be pro-
fessionally secured in position for reasons
of safety in the event of an accident. The
surface to which it is attached must be suit-
able for the screws that are included and
must provide a secure hold.
When drilling holes, you must make sure
that none of the vehicle components (e.g.
battery, cables, fuse box) can be damaged
in the process.
The amplifier must be secured in a suitable
installation location, e.g. beneath the seats
or in the car boot (see Fig. 1).
In confined installation locations, the ampli-
fier can also be installed without the outer
housing. To do so, you must attach the in-
cluded mounting tabs to the amplifier hous-
ing. (See Fig. 2).
When choosing an installation location, you
must select one which is dry and which pro-
vides sufficient air circulation to cool the
amplifier.
