WARNING

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 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.

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 safety­related 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.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

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

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.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

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

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.

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.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

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

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.

PRECAUTIONS

•

Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing
your PXA-H800. 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 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 PXA-H800 to the
fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the PXA-H800 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 PXA-H800 uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g.
amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other
units. If so, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer for assistance.
Be sure to connect the speaker (–) leads to the speaker (–) terminal. Never

•

connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or to the vehicle
body.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided below
and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number or the engraved
serial number is located on the bottom of the unit.
