DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.

Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

WARNING

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

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

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.

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.

WARNING

PRECAUTIONS

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +45°C (+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.

Maintenance

If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.

Installation Location

Make sure the CVA-1003 will not be installed in a location subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

Handling the Detachable Front Panel

• Do not expose to rain or water.

• Do not drop or apply shock.

Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex. Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions into a special screen. This will restrict operation of these functions to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the driver's attention will be on the road and not on the CVA-1003. This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers. The Title Input and SETUP screens cannot be made while the car is moving. The car must be parked and the parking brake must be engaged for the procedure described in the Owner's Manual to be valid. The warning "CAN'T OPERATE WHILE DRIVING," will be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations while driving. This operation is the same as when selecting sources using the remote control (Optional). When the car is parked, the selection is made as described in the Owner's Manual.

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the CVA-1003, can be operated from the CVA-1003. Depending on the products connected, the functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your Alpine dealer.

Basic Operation

Turning Power On and Off

Some of this unit's functions, cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. Be sure to stop your vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake, before attempting these operations.

1 Press the PWR (Power) button to turn on the

unit. The opening screen appears automatically on the monitor display.

NOTE

The unit can be turned on by pressing any other button except the OPEN/CLOSE and ANGLE 7 8 button.

The volume level gradually increases to the previous level you were listening to before the unit was turned off. Press and hold the PWR (Power) button for at least 2 seconds to turn off the unit.

NOTES

• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image

will remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.

• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen may

lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will return to normal.

• The CVA-1003 draws minimal current even when its

power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the CVA-1003 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the battery may be discharged. If this lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time. An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back ON before using the CVA-1003. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to "Connections Diagram of SPST Switch" on page 47.

1 Press the OPEN/CLOSE button.

The unit beeps 3 times and raises the monitor automatically.

NOTES

• The CVA-1003 is a precision device. With gentle

handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time.

• If the monitor touches an obstacle while it is being

raised, the unit will stop raising the monitor immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the OPEN/CLOSE button again to raise the monitor.

• When the movable monitor is opened, do not place any

object on the monitor and be careful not to bump or apply any pressure to the monitor while it is open. This can cause damage to the mechanism.

• Under low ambient temperature conditions, the

display may be dark for a short period of time immediately after the power is turned on. Once the LCD has warmed up, the display will return to normal.

• For your safety, some operation of the unit cannot be

performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, first stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake, then perform the operation.

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.

Warning

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

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

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.

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 ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.

Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

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

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

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

Caution

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.

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 wires 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.

Precautions

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post
