BLAUPUNKT RPD435
Owner's Manual

Note: Make sure that the face is inserted right side up. Do not press against the display window. Do not press hard against the face when attaching it to the chassis, it may be easily attached with gentle pressure Do not expose the face to direct sunlight, heat sources such as hot air ducts or leave it in a humid place. Never leave it on the dash board of a vehicle parked in direct sunlight, where there may be a considerable rise in temperature inside the vehicle. Afffxing Faceplate For Retail Display: The faceplate can be affixed to the unit�s chassis, which is desirable for a retail display, for example. This should only be done in situations whom the unit can be accessed from behind the mounting surface. Once the faceplate is affixed, the mlease keys cannot ba used to remove the chassis. To afffx the faceplate, obtain the small bolt (M2.6~10) from hardware pack and drive it into the upper hole at the left of the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver. The bolt will self-thread the hole. (See� rn Fig.2.)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION @/~?#&*~@I To avoid the aggravation of costly mrstakes and serious damage that could make you feel this way, please carefully read all of the instructions before you begin
Carefully follow all instructions. You�ll be glad you did! GENERAL RECOMMENDATTONS l If you�re not confident that you can install the unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified Blaupunkt installation technician. l Use this unit only with negative ground 12 Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC). l Be sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect or mstall the unit. l We recommend making and testing all electrical connecttons before installing the unit. Connact the leads (wires) according to instructions and diagram below. ELECTRICAL CONNECTtON INSTRUCTIONS 1. &connact the vehicle battery�s negative terminal before making connections. 2. Connect the speakers and/or external amplifiers (if you have any) following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below. 3. 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. 4. 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. 7 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. 8 Reconnect the vehicle�s battery. 9 connect me antenna plug. 10 Verify that no fuses have blown. 11 Plug the harness into Ihe unit. 12 Attach the faceplate and lest the unit. Once the connectrons have been successfully made, you can begln to mount the unit 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 product brochure and/or dealer referral.) 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.
