Mechanical Installation

J _r RENKFORCE

In most vehicles the producers plan an installation cut-out for the car radio. The choice of the location depends on safety aspects. Therefore we recommend that you actually install the radio in this place.

The SD tuner requires a DIN installation cut-out with the dimensions 182 x 53 mm; these dimensions are standardized and usually the vehicle manufacturers comply with them.

Should there be no slot, please ask your car dealer about the correct place of installation for your car radio.

Please select the place of installation carefully so that the SD tuner neither influences the driver's activity nor distracts him from the traffic.

Only use the supplied installation material to guarantee a safe installation.

Any changes in the vehicle that become necessary for the installation of the SD tuner or other components must be carried out in such a way that neither traffic security nor the stability of the car are affected. With many cars, the type approval will lapse if you merely saw out a section of the sheet metal.

Since the SD tuner creates heat during operation, the place of installation must be heat-resistant.

Before drilling the attachment holes, make sure that no electric cables, brake lines, the fuel tank or similar are damaged.

When using tools to install your car hi-fi components, observe the manufacturer's safety information.

When installing the car hi-fi system, take into consideration the risk of accident which can arise from devices being torn away in the case of an accident. Therefore, you should secure every component in a place where it cannot be dangerous to passengers.

Before you install the system, check the depth of the installation recess.

Mechanical Installation

Installation in the Radio Slot

• Unlock the installation frame with the two unlocking keys (figure 1, item 1).
• Remove the installation frame towards the back of the system (figure 1, item 2).
• Insert the frame into the respective cut-out in the vehicle (figure 2).
• Bend down some clips in the installation frame until the frame is securely fastened in the recess (figure 3).
• When you have made all the electrical contacts (see "Electric Connection") insert the SD tuner into the frame until it locks in (figure 4).

Keep the two unlocking keys. You will need them for a later removal of the SD tuner.

• Protect your SD tuner from vibrations with the bolt at the back of the unit.
• In most vehicles, such a safety fastening is provided for. If this is not the case in your car, fasten the SD tuner with the enclosed punched metal strip.

For the fastening, proceed as shown in the following figure:

The remote control must not be placed in the airbag trigger area.

The remote control must be installed on the steering wheel so that it cannot impair the driver in steering and operating of the vehicle.

Tighten the holder's rubber band well to ensure that the remote control cannot come loose during the drive.

The remote control must be attached to the inside of the steering wheel to prevent impairment when steering.

The best installation site for the remote control depends on the installation site of the SD tuner. Before final installation, try it out to ensure proper function. The IR transmitter is located on the rear of the remote control.

The electric connection should be made by a specialist.

To avoid short circuits and resulting damage to the SD tuner, the negative pole (earth) of the vehicle battery must be disconnected during connection.

Only connect the negative pole of the battery when you have completely connected the system and checked the connections.

You should only use a voltmeter or a diode test lamp for checking the voltage on the on-board cables as normal test lamps consume excessive currents and can thus damage the electronic system of the car.

When laying the cables, make sure that they are not squeezed or scoured on sharp edges. Use rubber grommets for the feed-though points.

Connection to the speakers must be two-wire each. Insulate any open connection points. Make sure that the cables are not damaged by sharp edges.

Only use speakers with sufficient load capacity (see "Technical Data").

Observe that all speakers have the correct polarity - that is, that plus and minus marks match.

The connecting cables of the loudspeakers are usually coded: Some speaker manufacturers indicate the (+) wire by means of an additional colour stripe, others use a corrugated cable for the (+) terminal and a smooth one for the (-) terminal.

The system was designed for the operation at speaker impedances of at least 4 Ohm. Never connect speakers with a lower impedance.

In most vehicles the cables for the electric connection and the connection of the speakers have been laid directly to the slot.

If this is not the case, please make sure that any cables placed later are secured by the respective onboard fuses (see vehicle operation manual).

Connecting the Aerial

• Connect the aerial plug of your vehicle with the aerial socket at the back of the radio (socket next to the cinch terminals).
• If your vehicle has a different aerial plug, please use a suitable adapter, available in specialist shops.

Connecting the LINE Outputs

The SD tuner has LINE outputs for connecting a power amplifier.

For the connection of the cinch sockets only use the shielded cinch wires. Use of any other cables may cause interferences.

Keep the distance of the cables as short as possible.

Do not place the cables near other cables to avoid interferences in the cables.

To avoid distortions or mismatching that could damage the device, cinch connector must only be connected to devices with the suitable cinch terminals. For this, observe also the connection information in the section "Technical Data".

- Connect the cinch sockets at the rear of the casing to the power amplifier inputs.

The red socket is a terminal for the right channel

The white socket is a terminal for the left channel

AUX IN Connection

You can connect an external audio device (e.g. portable MP3 player) to the port AUX IN (4) whose signal is played back via the vehicle speakers.

- Connect the port AUX IN (4) with the audio output of the external device.

Hands-Free Microphone Connection

- Connect the plug of the hands-free microphone to the coupling of the black connection line at the back of the device.

Electric Connection

Connection of the Speakers and the Power Supply

Vehicles equipped with an ISO plug can be connected directly to the ISO connection terminal if the plug assignment is the same (please check beforehand!). If the plug assignment differs, use a vehicle-specific adapter from a vendor for connection.

Please refer to the following figures for the contact assignment of the ISO connection socket of the SD tuner.

Please ask your car dealer for the respective assignment of your vehicle system plug.

Electric Connection

RENKFORCE

• The constant current terminal +12V (4) must be connected to a cable that also supplies 12V permanently when the ignition is off (terminal 30 of the on-board network). This terminal serves to save the user settings, time, etc.
• The aerial control output (5) supplies a voltage of +12V when the device is switched on. This cable can be used for the power supply of an electrical aerial and for the voltage for switching on a car amplifier.
• The ignition terminal +12V (7) must be connected to a cable that is only live with +12V when the ignition is on (terminal 15 of the on-board networks).

Do not connect this terminal to continuous current, otherwise the on-board battery could be discharged when the vehicle is parked for an extended period of time.

- Connect the ground connection (8

Adhesive techniques which become ever more common and painted metal parts impair the electric conductivity. Therefore, not every metal part is a suitable earthing point.

Operation

Radio Mode

Receiving concept RDS

The abbreviation RDS stands for Radio Data System, i.e. inaudible, additional information codes are transmitted by the FM RDS station.

With the BT-RSD-1802K, you have a SD tuner that is able to evaluate these coded data that are transmitted by most of the radio stations.

The following important data is transmitted:

• Program Identification (PI)
• Traffic Program (TP)
• Traffic Announcement (TA)
• Program Service (PS)
• Alternative Frequencies (AF)
• Program Type (PTY)
• EON Information (enhanced other networks)
• Clock time (CT)

Program Identification (PI)

This information helps the receiver to identify a station. It enables the radio to differentiate between areas where the same programme is transmitted. The car radio only switches to a stronger station when the reception grows weaker if the stronger station transmits the same programme identification.

Traffic Programme (TP)

This signal enables the receiver to detect that a station with a traffic programme is being received.

Traffic Announcement (TA)

With this signal the receiver can detect a traffic announcement and interrupt the current playback of a different audio source.

Program Service (PS)

This information tells the receiver which station it is receiving. It is directly played back in the display of the car radio, e.g. BAYERN 3.

Alternative Frequencies (AF)

A list of alternative frequencies that send the same programme is transmitted. If the transmitter station currently received becomes too weak, the receiver detects from the AF signal on which frequencies it must search for a better station.

Program Type (PTY)

This code gives the receiver information on the type of the transmitted programme (e.g. sports, classic, news etc.). The listener can select his favourite programme more directly.

A national disaster alarm can also be sent this way. However, not all the radio stations offer the PTY service.

EON Information (EON)

Many radio station chains with various programmes only have one programme with traffic information. If EON information is transmitted, a radio equipped with an EON function switches to the Traffic Announcement station whenever such announcements are made, even if a different programme of this chain is being played.

If you listen to BR Klassik (no traffic announcement) and the TA function is activated, the radio will switch to Bayern 3 (with traffic announcements) for the time of a traffic announcement.

Clock time (CT)

Many stations transmit the current time in the RDS data. If a radio receives this signal, it sets the in-built clock automatically.

Therefore, when you leave the transmission area, the RDS system has the advantage that it switches to a similar transmitter station that can be better received. However, it only changes when it finds a better station with the same programme.

Short signal attenuations due to the reception cannot be eliminated by the RDS system either, since this would mean that the car radios permanently switches back and forth. The listener would feel much more disturbed by this than by short-term reception problems.

Another advantage of the RDS system is that the station name is displayed. The station name of an RDS station is displayed in the car radio.

Button functions

• B N D / A M S b u t t o n ( 1 1 )

USB/Memory Card Operation

The SD tuner is equipped with a USB interface and a memory card reader for SD/MMC cards.

MP3 files stored on these media can be played.

Do not connect any MP3-player to the USB interface if it is battery-operated.

The USB interface power supply may load the inserted batteries and cause overheating or explosion of a battery.

USB media up to 32 GB and a power intake of up to max. 500 mA can be connected to the USB interface.

Only USB storage media can be operated at the USB socket. MP3 players with a USB port usually switch into PC mode when this port is connected. In this mode, music files cannot be played. However, you may connect the audio output of your MP3 player to the AUX IN (4).

Supports SD/MMC-cards and SDHC-cards up to 16 GB.

The media must be formatted in FAT 16 or FAT 32.

Due to the great variety of systems with USB and SD/MMC card interfaces and their different functions that are sometimes producer-specific, we cannot guarantee that all media will be recognized and that all the operational functions are available in this SD tuner.

Bluetooth®-Operation

To permit best phone reception and keep electromagnetic irradiation in the vehicle as low as possible, always use an outside aerial in mobile phone operation.

In Bluetooth® operation, the SD tuner can be used as hands-free system for mobile phones and/or as playback device for Bluetooth®A2DP audio streaming. Before transmission between your mobile phone or Bluetooth® device and the SD tuner is possible, however, both devices must be coupled. This process is called "Pairing".

Pairing

• Switch your Bluetooth® device on and activate the pairing mode here (see instructions of the corresponding device). The device scans for Bluetooth® devices in the reception range.
• Press the button MODE / PAIR (
• When the SD tuner was found, y
• Enter the password 0 0 0 0 to cou p
  • After successful pairing, the display (5) indicates the Bluetooth® symbol Ⓞ.
• If pairing was not successful, try repeating the process. The CarBT device may have to be deleted in your mobile phone first (see mobile phone instructions).
• To remove or create a connection, you may also select the item CON BT (connect) or DISCON BT (disconnect) in the main menu (see "Menu Settings").

Only one Bluetooth® device at a time can be coupled with the SD tuner. If there is an active Bluetooth® connection already, this connection must be interrupted first.

If the SD tuner or Bluetooth® device with which there is an active connection is switched off or removed from the range, the connection is interrupted. When switching on again or when the Bluetooth® device returns into the SD tuner range again, the connection is automatically re-established. The SD tuner display shows the Bluetooth® icon 📐again.

To permit this automatic establishment of connection, this function may have to be activated at the Bluetooth® device (read about this in your Bluetooth® device's instructions).

Maintenance

Regularly check the technical safety of the SD tuner, e.g. for damage of the cables or the casing.

If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the device must be turned off and precautions are to be taken to ensure that it is not used unintentionally. Disconnect the car power system!

It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:

• the device is visibly damaged
• if the device does not function
• following considerable stress d

Before cleaning the SD tuner or performing maintenance, the following safety information must be observed:

Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or components are removed.

The device must be disconnected from all power sources before any servicing or repair work is carried out.

Capacitors inside the device may still carry voltage even though they have been disconnected from all power sources.

Only qualified experts familiar with the hazards involved and the relevant regulations must perform repairs.

Fuse Replacement

If it becomes necessary to replace a fuse, make sure that only fuses of the prescribed type and nominal current are used (see “Technical Data”).

Never repair fuses or bridge the fuse holder.

• When the power supply has been disconnected (disconnect ISO plug!) carefully remove the fuse from the fuse holder next to the ISO plug.
• Replace it with a fuse of the sam
• Only then can you reconnect the SD tuner to the electric on-board system and turn it on.
• Should the fuse trigger again, have the SD tuner repaired in a specialised workshop.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth or brush only.

Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions that may damage the surface of the casing.

Handling

• If the volume inside your car is too high, you will not hear any acoustic warning signals. This constitutes a danger to yourself and other road users. Therefore, make sure the volume is at a suitable level.
• Inattentiveness on the road may cause serious accidents. Operation of the hi-fi system may therefore only take place if the traffic situation permits and you are not unduly distracted by operating the system.
• Do not listen to excessively loud music over an extended period of time. This may damage your hearing.
