Operating Instructions

WARNING

WARNING

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

WHEN REVERSING THE CAR, CHECKING BEHIND AND
AROUND THE CAR MUST BE DONE VISUALLY BY THE
DRIVER.

The TOPVIEW FRONT/REAR CAMERA assists the driver in
checking behind and around by sending images to the screen
showing conditions behind and around the car. The camera uses a
wide-angle lens, therefore, there is a difference in distance
perspective between what is normally seen and what appears on
the screen. Also, the images shown by the rear camera are
reversed, so as to appear the same as what is seen through the
rearview mirror.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

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

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.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in 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.

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 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.

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.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of
the vehicle and cause an accident.

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, shift lever, brake
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

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

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

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

CHECK THAT THE CAMERA MOUNTING IS ATTACHED
SECURELY, AND THAT THE SCREWS ARE TIGHT BEFORE
DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

WHEN INSTALLING THE CAMERA, OR WHEN CHECKING
IT IS INSTALLED SECURELY, DO SO AFTER PARKING THE
CAR IN A LEVEL, SAFE PLACE, TURNING OFF THE
ENGINE, AND APPLYING THE HAND BRAKE.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

WHEN USING A DRILL TO MAKE A HOLE, TAKE
PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS WEARING GOGGLES SO
FRAGMENTS DO NOT GET INTO THE EYES.

Failure to do so may result in injury.

2-EN

CAUTION

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

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.

EXCEPT FOR THE CAMERA ITSELF, DO NOT ATTACH ANY
PARTS TO AREAS WHICH WILL GET WET, OR WHERE
THERE IS A LOT OF HUMIDITY OR DUST.

Failure to do so may result in fire or damage.

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.

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.

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.

DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA MOUNTING TO
FLUOROCARBON RESIN FINISHED CAR BODIES OR
GLASS.

Doing so could cause the strength of the camera mounting to
weaken, which could cause it to fall of and cause accidents,
injury, or damage to the car body.

DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA MOUNTING TO ANY
SURFACE WHERE THE ENTIRE ADHESIVE SURFACE
CANNOT BE APPLIED.

Doing so could cause the strength of the camera mounting to
weaken, which could cause it to fall of and cause accidents,
injury, or damage to the car body.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not assert any excess pressure to the camera or the
mounting, as this could cause the camera direction to shift, or
the camera mounting to come off.

•To prevent the camera lens, mounting and cords from changing
colour or shape, or from deteriorating, wipe with a chemical­free, damp cloth.

•When washing the car, do not using an automatic car washer,
or high-pressure washer. Doing so could cause the camera to
come off, damage to the camera cord, or may allow water to
enter the camera or the inside of the car.

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before
installing your HCE-C200R/HCE-C200F. This will reduce any
chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the
diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to
malfunction or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.

•When making connections to the vehicle's electrical system, be
aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board
computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for
this unit. When connecting the HCE-C200R/HCE-C200F to
the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the
HCE-C200R/HCE-C200F has the appropriate amperage.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the
vehicle. When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.

• In some cases, to attach the camera, a hole must be drilled in
the car body, requiring use of touch-up paint (retail product)
for rust-prevention, and should be prepared beforehand.

• Route the cables and wiring away from hot or moving parts,
and fix them securely to avoid heat/mechanical damage to the
cable insulation, which may result in short-circuit, fire or
electric shock.

• About Images
Images of the rearview camera are the images of the rearview
mirror. The same images appear on the display as on the
rearview mirror. The camera uses a wide-angle lens, therefore,
there is a difference in distance perspective between what is
normally seen and what appears on the display.

• About Power Connection
Connect a reverse input cable (orange/white) to the power
cable of the rear lamp. For details, consult a dealer purchased
the camera, or car dealer.

• Connect this to a power cable of the rear lamp, but not

to the positive (+) of the rear lamp signal cable.

• Do not use a mobile phone or wireless device near the camera.
Doing so may result in noise on the screen or malfunction. It is
recommended to use a mobile phone or wireless device away
from the camera.

• If there is no reverse input on the monitor, this connection is
not possible.

• Before installing, make sure there is a enough space to be able
to install the camera.

• If possible, install the camera in the centre of the bumper or
other fitting. If the camera is installed at a distance left or right
of centre, the image may differ from the real view.

• The HCE-C200F cannot be used independently, the HCE­C200R is also required.

• Confirming the Display Function
To connect the unit, confirm that the monitor will require a
compatible RCA pin jack.
