WARNING

WARNING

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

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 NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

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

CAUTION

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

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 PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN
OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the
product.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD
BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY
POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper
polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical
leakage from the battery may cause fire or personal injury.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V
APPLICATIONS.

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

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 THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

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

PRECAUTIONS

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between
+60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your
unit on.

Maintenance

If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit
yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest
Alpine Service Station for servicing.

2-EN

Tape Slack

Check and make sure any slack in the tape is taken up
before inserting the tape into the unit. A loose tape can get
caught in the mechanism and cause damage to the unit
and the tape itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil
or a similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn until
all the slack has been taken up.

Excessively Thin Tape

C-120 type cassette tapes are not recommended for use in
automobile tape players.

Precision Tape Mechanism

Prevent any foreign objects from entering the cassette
opening as the precision mechanism and tape head may be
damaged.
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can damage the tape
head.

Tape Head Cleaning

Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20 hours of use)
of the tape head with a wet type head-cleaning cassette
tape (available at audio stores) is necessary for best
performance.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of
the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the
fuse blows more than once, carefully check all electrical
connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's
voltage regulator checked.
