Characteristics of LCD Panel
• 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 LCD panel is manufactured using an extremely high
precision manufacturing technology. Its effective pixel ratio
is over 99.99%. This means that 0.01% of the pixels could be
either always ON or OFF.
Using Wireless Headphones
If ACC or the monitor's power source is turned off, a loud noise is
produced through the headphones. Be sure to remove the wireless
headphones from your ears before you turn the monitor off.

Warning
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.
Before installing or connecting the unit,
please read the following and pages 2 and
3 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.
Warning
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fi re 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 fi re, 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 fi re or electric shock.
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 fi re 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.
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.
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 fi re.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER
SEAT AIR BAG.
If the unit is not installed correctly the air bag may not function
correctly and when triggered the air bag may cause the monitor to
spring upwards causing an accident and injuries.
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.
Be sure to use only the specifi ed 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.
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post
before installing your TMX-R1000P. This will reduce any
chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to
the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to
malfunction or damage the vehicle's electrical system.
• When making connections to the car’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 TMX-R1000P to the
fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the
TMX-R1000P 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.
• The TMX-R1000P uses female RCA-type jacks for
connection to other units having RCA connectors. You
may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please
contact your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
IMPORTANT
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space
provided below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial
number plate is located on the rear of the monitor or on the
bottom of the AV interface unit.
