Operating Instructions

WARNING

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

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Setup Before Using

How to connect to a Bluetooth compatible Unit (Pairing)

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short distance wireless technology to connect a mobile phone or personal computer. This allows you to enable a hands-free call or transmit data between Bluetooth compatible units.

• Depending on the Bluetooth version, a Bluetooth compatible unit may not be able to communicate with this adapter.

• Proper function of this adapter with all Bluetooth compatible units is not guaranteed.

• Depending on the surroundings, Bluetooth wireless connection may be unstable.

• When you place a call, or perform setup operations, be sure to stop your car in a safe place.

• For details on the control (selection, enter, cancel) from the connected unit, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the respective unit.

• Depending on the connected Bluetooth compatible device(s), the function may differ. Also refer to the Owner’s Manual of the connected device(s).

Before Using Hands-Free Phone/ Audio Function

Before using the hands-free phone/audio function, the following settings need to be made.

Be sure to set “INT MUTE” (in the setup function of the connected head unit or Digital Media receiver) to OFF.

• Before making sound interruption on the Bluetooth compatible unit, make sure that INT MUTE is set to OFF. (Initial setting on the unit is OFF.)

Set “Bluetooth IN” or “Bluetooth” to ADAPTER*. (Refer to the Owner’s Manual of the connected units.)

Turn the ignition key off (ACC OFF) and on again (ACC ON).

• Before using a hands-free phone, it must be paired with the adapter. Refer to “Bluetooth SETUP” (pages 4-5).

* Even when “Bluetooth IN” or “Bluetooth” is set to OFF,

set the ignition key from ACC to OFF once, then to ON again, and remove the adapter, otherwise a malfunction may result.

For details on the control from a Bluetooth compatible unit, refer to the Owner's Manual of the Bluetooth compatible unit.

Set a Bluetooth connection from a Bluetooth compatible unit.

The PIN code (“0000”) is displayed on the unit.

• The PIN code is fixed as “0000.”

Input the PIN code (“0000”) in a Bluetooth compatible unit.

If the adapter is successfully connected to a Bluetooth compatible unit, a paired device name and a registered number (No. 1 to 4 or guest mode) are displayed, and then the unit returns to normal mode.

• Set “Setting the Search Mode” (page 5) to ON to enable the KCE-300BT to recognize a mobile phone. For mobile phone passkey (passcode) input operation, refer to the mobile's Owner's Manual. Additionally, the mobile phone can be searched directly from an AV head unit. Refer to “Registering the Bluetooth Device (AV Head Unit only)” (page 5).

describe the following operations from the AV head unit.

Control

About the Hands-Free Phone

Hands-free calls are possible when using a HSP (Headset Profile) and HFP (Hands-Free Profile) compatible mobile phone with a ALPINE Bluetooth compatible CD head unit, AV head unit, or Digital Media receiver.

• Avoid performing a hands-free call in a city where traffic is congested, or in the narrow street.

• Shut the windows while calling.

• If both persons use a hands-free call to each other, or you

make a call in a noisy location, you may have difficulty hearing the other person’s voice, or transmitting to the other person.

• Certain voices may sound unnatural, depending on the person using the telephone, or on telephone line conditions.

• Certain mobile phone features are dependent on the capabilities and settings of your service provider’s network. Additionally, certain features may not be activated by your service provider, and/or the provider’s network settings may limit the feature’s functionality. Always contact your service provider about feature availability and functionality. All features, functionality, and other product specifications, as well as the information contained in the Owner’s Manual are based upon the latest available information and are believed to be accurate at the time of printing. Alpine reserves the right to change or modify any information or specifications without notice or obligation.

If feedback is noticed as feedback is directly related to the volume, turn down the volume as low as acceptable to eliminate it. Positioning the microphone in a direction away from the main car speakers (e.g. clipped on sunvisor) may also reduce feedback at high volume.
