Installation guide6.1 Determination of required conﬁ gurationBefore installation of your EGO FLASH, please note which features and connection options are provided by your car audio system. It is advantageous when your audio has the following: a muting function, phone input and line-in. You can ﬁ nd out which of these input options your audio system has in the documentation provided.6.1.1 VehicleThe EGO FLASH may only be installed in vehicles with 12 V, with the negative terminal connected to the chassis. If no car audio is installed, an add-on speaker will be required. For the installation of the optional charging cradle, you will require a model-speciﬁ c mounting that may be purchased from a specialist dealer6.1.2 Mobile TelephoneOperation of the EGO FLASH requires a Bluetooth®-compatible mobile phone. You can ﬁ nd a list of supported Bluetooth® telephones online at www.fwd-online.de.6.1.3 Muting (radio muting) The muting function (Radio Muting) ensures that the audio sound is turned off during telephone calls. The systemsupports the muting function. Your car`s audio documentation will show whether your car audio has a mute option. If your car audio is not equipped with a muting option, you can install the optionally available Stereo Mute Box to facilitate speaker muting.6.1.4 Converting the EGO FLASH into an already-installed Funkwerk hands-free car kitAn adapter cable is available for customers who already own a Funkwerk hands-free car kit (including the Audio 2000, 3000, Audio blue, Audio com, and Audio compact) and who would like to easily convert the EGO FLASH. The adapter cable connects the EGO FLASH with the ISO cable already installed in your car with your Funkwerk hands-free car kit.NOTE! This simple converting option is only possible when installing the EGO FLASH without a stereo mute box. To install the EGO FLASH with the stereo mute box, the stereo mute box’s ISO connecting cable should be used to connect to the vehicle.6EGO FLASHq

6.1.5 Add-on speakers / Car audio telephone connection The car’s loudspeakers are transferred to the system is by means of switch contacts. These are designed for a peak power handling of 35 W (Sinus). Loudspeaker power handling exceeding 35 W leads to premature wear on the switching contacts. For higher outputs, use the telephone connection of the car audio or a 5 W / 4-Ohm satellite speaker. This port is only designed for voice reproduction.6.1.6 Car audio line-in inputA car audio with a line-in input option is required for music reproduction in stereo. As an alternative to line-in, the car audio may have a mini-ISO port (block connector C), a 0.14 in jack socket or a RCA input socket. An appropriate adapter lead is required for the connection between the EGO FLASH line-out and the line-in version of your audio system. If your car audio system has no line-in option, you can employ the optionally available Stereo Mute Box for stereo reproduction in combination with your car’s front speakers.6.2 Installation locationsRISK OF INJURY! Unsuitable installation locations may become a source of injury in an accident (or emergency braking) situation, or may inhibit the correct functioning of essential safety equipment.6.2.1 Checking cable lengthsBefore you’ve securely installed the components, check that the installation locations have been selected in such a way that the cable length is sufﬁ cient to connect the individual components.6.2.2 Selection of the installation location for the electronics box The Bluetooth® antenna for the connection to the mobile phone is installed in the electronics box. The antennaqFig. 02:Signal transmission of the Bluetooth® antenna10 | 11

transmits directionally towards the front. For this reason, during installation, ensure that the antenna faces into the passenger cell (see Fig. 02). Vertical mounting is ideal. Metallic screening between the front panel and the passenger cell, such as metal or metallised plastic panels, are unsuitable and may interfere with the Bluetooth® connection. Locations behind the dashboard or in a metal-lined glove compartment are also unsuitable.A covering in plastic, fabric or wood presents no problems whatsoever.Suitable locations for the electronics box:Passenger side, next to the middle console under the paneling, model-speciﬁ c installation console (dealer). Our suggested installation locations are shown in the illustration on the right.Further unsuitable locations are:Leg and knee height, potential head impact zone, airbag inﬂ ation space, engine compartment6.2.3 Selection of the point of installation for the microphoneSuitable for the microphone:Where voice can reach the microphone unhindered (distance between the speaker and the microphone should be approx. 13.78 in), on the A-column (between windshield and driver’s side window), next to the driver‘s sun visor, on the dashboard Unsuitable for the microphone:Close to the speakers (less than 31 in), under the dashboard, in the air stream from open windows or air vents.EGO FLASHFig. 03:Installation locationsfor the electronics boxFig. 04:Installation locationfor microphoneThe illustration shows one of the potential microphone mounting locations.
