Emergency calls

This BLUETOOTH car handsfree and the
electronic device connected to the handsfree
operate using radio signals, cellular, and landline
networks as well as user-programmed function,
which cannot guarantee connection under all
conditions.

2-EN

Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic
device for essential communications (such as
medical emergencies).

On BLUETOOTH communication

• Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH

device may affect the operation of electronic
medical devices. Turn off this unit and other
BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations,
as it may cause an accident.

– where inflammable gas is present, in a

hospital, train, airplane, or petrol station

– near automatic doors or a fire alarm

• This unit supports security capabilities that

comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to
provide a secure connection when the
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but
security may not be enough depending on the
setting. Be careful when communicating using
BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

• We do not take any responsibility for the

leakage of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in this

WARNING

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT
TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM
SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged
attention should only be performed after
coming to a complete stop. Always stop the
vehicle in a safe location before performing
these functions. Failure to do so may result in
an accident.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU
CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE
DRIVING.

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds
such as emergency vehicle sirens or road
warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be
dangerous and may result in an accident.
LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR
MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or
electric shock.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT
NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.)
Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES
OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric
shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR
PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside
and may result in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V
APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may
result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR
FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR
GAPS.

Doing so may result in personal injury or
damage to the product.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

Failure to make the proper connections may
result in fire or product damage.

BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE
FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or
injury due to electrical shorts.

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.

Never cut away cable insulation to supply
power to other equipment. Doing so will
exceed the current carrying capacity of the
wire and result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN
DRILLING HOLES.

When drilling holes in the chassis for
installation, take precautions so as not to
contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines,
tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such
precautions may result in fire.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE
OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS.

Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering
systems (or any other safety-related system), or
tanks should NEVER be used for installations or
ground connections. Using such parts could
disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.

4-EN

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH
MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH
AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or
hamper movement etc. and results in serious
accident.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in injury or
material property damage.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM
APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or
damage to the product. Return it to your
authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine
Service Centre for repairing.

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION
DONE BY EXPERTS.

The wiring and installation of this unit requires
special technical skill and experience. To ensure
safety, always contact the dealer where you
purchased this product to have the work done.

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND
INSTALL THEM SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specified accessory
parts. Use of other than designated parts may
damage this unit internally or may not securely
install the unit in place. This may cause parts to
become loose resulting in hazards or product
failure.

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT
CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL
EDGE.

Route the cables and wiring away from moving
parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed
edges. This will prevent crimping and damage
to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in
metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the
wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal
edge of the hole.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH
MOISTURE OR DUST.

Avoid installing the unit in locations with high
incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust
that penetrates into this unit may result in
product failure.

Connection/Installation

Cautions

• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common
ground (earth) point.

• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or

caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the car
ignition off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the power supply lead
and speakers before connecting it to the
auxiliary power connector.

• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected
leads with electrical tape for safety.

Precautions

• Choose the installation location carefully so
that the unit will not interfere with normal
driving operations.

• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to
dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high
temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near
heater ducts.

• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a
safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other
stereo components, the amperage rating of the car
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher
than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage rating.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30°.

from other leads as possible.

• Connect the ground lead securely to a bare

metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease
if necessary) of the car chassis.

• If you add an optional noise suppressor,

connect it as far away from the unit as
possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various
noise suppressors, contact them for further
information.

• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise

prevention measures so consult your dealer
for further information.

Installing the microphone (CDE­205DAB/ UTE-204DAB only)

To capture your voice during handsfree calling,
you need to install the microphone

Clip (not supplied)
