Installation guide
6.1 Determination of required configuration
Before 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 find out which of these input
options your audio system has in the documentation provided.
6.1.1 Vehicle
The 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-specific
mounting that may be purchased from a specialist dealer.
6.1.2 Mobile Telephone
Operation of the EGO FLASH requires a Bluetooth
®
-compatible mobile phone. You can find a list of supported Bluetooth
®
telephones
online at

.
6.1.3 Muting (radio muting)
The muting function (Radio Muting) ensures that the audio sound is turned off during telephone calls. The system
supports 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 kit
An 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 ISO cable,
already installed in the vehicle, of your previous Funkwerk handsfree system with the EGO FLASH and is available as an accessory.
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.
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.
