NOTICE
► Make sure that a permanent positive connection is applied to the station
memory of connection 4 in the ISO block A.
► In some automobile models the standard configuration of the connections
[4] and [7] in ISO block A are interchanged at the factory. If this is the
case the station memory can be lost. To correct this, the connections 7
(Ignition positive) and 4 (Permanent positive) in the ISO Block A must be
swapped.
► You can connect an external amplifier to the audio cinch output. For this
follow the operating instructions for the external amplifier.

Possible damage to the device!
► Never attach the antenna power connection with the antenna's motor
power cable.
The connection for the antenna power is available for a relay controlled antenna.
The relay then automatically extends the antenna when the device is switched
on. When switched off the antenna retracts. This connection can also be used to
control an external amplifier. For exact connection information please consult the
amplifier's operating instructions.
Connection of an external amplifier
