Warning
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may
result in fire or electric shock.
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 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.
2-EN
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 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.
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 SHIFT LEVER. 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. 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.
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 PXA-H900. 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-H900 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended
circuit of the PXA-H900 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-H900 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.
Wiring Connections
Improper wiring connections could cause serious damage to your audio system. Be sure you:
1. DO NOT connect (–) wires from left and right speakers together.
2. DO NOT ground any speaker wires.
3. DO NOT run wires where they may be pinched or cut.
4. DO NOT leave bare speaker terminals exposed. They may contact the vehicle chassis and
cause a short.
Fuse
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement fuse must be of the same amperage as shown on
the fuse holder. If the fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check all electrical connections for
shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle’s voltage regulator checked. Do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself; return it to your Alpine dealer or nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.
Temperature
In order to ensure proper performance, be sure the temperature in your vehicle is above 14 F
(–10 C) and below 140 F (60 C) before turning your unit on. Good air circulation is essential to
prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.

PLACE OF PURCHASE:
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.
• Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10cm away from the car harness.
• Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.
• Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease if
necessary) of the car chassis.
• If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible.
Your Alpine dealer carries various noise suppressors. Contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for
further information.
